1.1.0

31 Mars 2015

All Optics are now abstract classes

  • easier to change implementation and maintain backward compatibility
  • offer faster implementation using macros or new (not recommended)

Deprecate use of Maybe and IList in interface

  • 1.0.0 replaced Option by scalaz.Maybe but it turns out that Maybe advantages are not worth the cost of moving away from scala std.
  • same between List and scalaz.IList

Add Category related instances and methods

  • type classes e.g. Compose, Category, Arrow, Choice
  • methods e.g. id, codiagonal, first, second, sum, product

Macro

  • monocle.macros.GenIso generates Iso for case class with a single accessor
  • monocle.macros.GenPrism generates Prism for sealed trait
  • @Lenses now supports case classes with type parameters see
  • Lenser is deprecated, use GenLens instead (same functionality but more consistent naming)

Spark friendly

  • Optics and type classes extends Serializable

Syntax

  • using optics as an infix operator operator requires a single import monocle.syntax.apply or monocle.syntax._

1.0.0

14 December 2014

Rename Optics

  • Iso, Lens, Prism, Optional, Traversal and Setter were prepended by a P for Polymorphic
  • SimpleIso, SimpleLens, SimplePrism, SimpleOptional, SimpleTraversal and SimpleSetter lost Simple
  • for example, Lens was renamed to PLens and SimpleLens to Lens
  • benefits: in practice most optics are not polymorphic, so it is more convenient to have a shorter name for the most used optics.

No inheritance between Optics

  • All Optics use asX methods to transform Optics, e.g. Prism[S, T, A, B] has methods asOptional: Optional[S, T, A, B], asTraversal: Traversal[S, T, A, B], ... methods

Compose direction

  • in 0.5, composeY meant that the result of the composition is an Optic of type Y
  • in 1.0, composeY means that you compose with an Optic of type Y

Main method changes

  • removed set, modify, setOption, modifyOption
  • setF became set
  • setFOption became setMaybe
  • modifyF became modify
  • modifyFOption became modifyMaybe
  • modifyF became lift or multiLift depending on the Optic
  • getOption became getMaybe

Simplified Constructors

  • Curry Optics constructor and merged Simple Optic constructors
  • Shuffle methods and parameters order to be consistent between Optics

Use Maybe and IList from scalaz instead of Option and List from std

  • Maybe can be transformed to Option by calling toOption
  • IList can be transformed to List by calling toList
  • benefits: no variance, better scalaz support, safer methods

Simplified type classes

  • merged HeadOption and TailOption into Cons
  • merged Head and Tail into Cons1
  • merged InitOption and LastOption into Snoc
  • merged Init and Last into Snoc1
  • removed SafeCast as it was simply a way to summon Prism implicitly
  • removed AtBit and defined Index[S, Int, Boolean] where S is a numeric type

Macros

  • all macros have been moved to monocle.macros package
  • mkLens has been moved to monocle.macros.internal, i.e. it is not public anymore. Use Lenser or @Lenses

0.5.1

29 September 2014

Macros

  • Add @Lenses Macro annotation to generate SimpleLens automatically for case classes
  • Add Lenser Macro to generate SimpleLens with a better IDE support than Macro annotation
  • Deprecate mkLens Macro as Lenser is strictly more powerful

Bug Fix

  • Fix SafeCast between String to Int

0.5.0

03 August 2014

Build and Dependencies

  • Upgrade scalaz dependency from 7.0.6 to 7.1
  • Upgrade specs2 dependency from 2.3.11 to 2.4
  • Build with scala 2.11.2
  • Use sbt-typelevel plugin

Breaking Changes

  • SimpleOptional apply method takes a setter function from (S, A) => A instead of (S, Option[A]) => A

  • Polymorphic optics instance reorganisation: All instances has been move from the companion objects of the polymorphic optics to packages:

    • monocle.std for standard Scala and scalaz classes
    • monocle.generic for shapeless classes

    Check out this example to see how it affects imports

  • reverseModify has been moved from Monocle package object to Prism syntax

New Features

  • Add setOption and modifyOption for Optional
  • Flipped curried version of set => setF, modify => modifyF, setOption => setOptionF, modifyOption => modifyOptionF See example
  • New constructors for simple optics with better type inference, see example
  • implicit not found annotations have been added to polymorphic optics to help user figuring out which import is missing
  • monocle.scalaz.Either has been renamed monocle.scalaz.Disjunction to avoid clashes with monocle.std.Either
  • Add Each, Index, Field1, Head, Tail and LastOption instances for scalaz.OneAnd
  • Add Each, HeadOption, and LastOption for scala.Some

0.4.0

28 May 2014

Modularity and build

  • Cross build for scala 2.10.4 and 2.11.0
  • Move Optic Laws from module core to law module
  • Move Macro from module core to macro module
  • Update dependencies
    • Remove scalacheck, scala-reflect and scala-compiler dependencies from core
    • upgrade scalacheck to 1.11.3
  • Add Mima support on core to check for binary compatibility between minor version for next releases

New major concept: Optional

  • Add Optional a new major concept that represents a 0-1 Traversal. Optional is a sub class of Traversal and a super class of Lens and Prism. Composing a Lens and a Prism creates an Optional instead of a Traversal, hence we maintain information that the resulting Optic zooms to an optional object and not a list
  • Rename Head -> HeadOption, Last -> LastOption, Tail -> TailOptionand Init -> InitOption
  • Change HeadOption, LastOption, TailOption, InitOption Optic from Traversal to Optional

Functions

  • Generalize Reverse, Tail and Init from 1 to 2 types parameters.
  • Add Head, Last, Tail, Init functions with the same semantic than the Option (HeadOption, ...) variant except that their Optic is a Lens and not an Optional. This implies that Head, Last, Tail, Init can only be defined on elements with a mandatory head, last, tail and init. Implemented on 2-6 tuple and HList.
  • Implemented Reverse instances on all tuple and HList.
  • Implemented Reverse, Head, Last, Tail, Init instances on all tuple and HList.
  • Implemented HeadOption, LastOption, TailOption, InitOption, Each, Index and FilterIndex for scalaz IList.

Miscellaneous

  • Add reverseModify on SimplePrism as an alias for getOption map modify.
  • Add syntax for Getter, Fold and Setter.
  • Add non symbolic functions to use Optics as operators, e.g. List(1,2,3) applyTraversal each getAll instead of List(1,2,3) |->> each getAll
  • Add import for all syntax: import monocle.syntax._

0.3.0

02 May 2014

  • Update dependencies
  • scala to 2.10.4
  • shapeless to 2.0.0
  • macro paradise to 2.0.0
  • quasi quotes to 2.0.0
  • Add apply4 to apply6 methods to Traversal
  • Add Each instance for 4 to 6 tuple of same type
  • Generic sub module:
  • Add Field1 to Field6 instances for HList
  • Add SafeCast instance for Coproduct, hence supporting Prism for sealed family
  • Remove _1, _2, _3 Lens using shapeless Generic, since composing toHList Iso and Fields Lens is equivalent

0.2.0

27 April 2014

  • Add generic Lens, Traversal, Iso and Prism in monocle.function:
    • _1, _2, ..., _6, Lens to focus on the ith element of a tuple. Implemented for tuple of size 6 or less
    • atBit(i: Int), Lens to focus on ith Bit. Implemented for Boolean, Byte, Char, Int and Long
    • safeCast, Prism defining a safe down casting between two types. Implemented for most primitive type and String
    • curry and uncurry, Iso for functions with up to 5 parameters
    • head and last, Traversal to the first and last element respectively. Implemented for std List, Vector, Stream, Option and String
    • tail and init, Traversal to all elements except first and all elements except last respectively. Implemented for std List, Vector, Stream and String
    • reverse, Iso that reverses the order of elements. Implemented for std List, Vector, Stream, String and scalaz Tree
    • index(i: Int), Traversal to focus on ith element. Implemented for std List, Vector, Stream, Map and String
    • each, Traversal to focus on all elements. Implemented for std List, Vector, Stream, Option, Map, String, pair and triple of same type and scalaz tree
    • filterIndex(predicate: Index => Boolean), Traversal to focus on all elements with index verifying predicate. Implemented for List, Vector, Stream, Map and String
    • at(key: K), Lens to focus on an optional element at a key, strictly more powerful than index as it permits to add and delete elements. Implemented for Map
  • Alias for Iso, Prism, Lens and Traversal composition:
    • <-> == composeIso
    • ?-> == composePrism
    • |-> == composeLens
    • |->> == composeTraversal
  • Add experimental sub project generic, using shapeless to generate Iso between HList and case class or tuple
  • Add documentation in examples
