.~ -package:universum -package:optics-core is:exact

Replace the target of a Lens or all of the targets of a Setter or Traversal with a constant value. This is an infix version of set, provided for consistency with (.=).

f <$ a ≡ mapped .~ f $ a

>>> (a,b,c,d) & _4 .~ e
(a,b,c,e)

>>> (42,"world") & _1 .~ "hello"
("hello","world")

>>> (a,b) & both .~ c
(c,c)

(.~) :: Setter s t a b    -> b -> s -> t
(.~) :: Iso s t a b       -> b -> s -> t
(.~) :: Lens s t a b      -> b -> s -> t
(.~) :: Traversal s t a b -> b -> s -> t

(.~) assigns a value to the target. It's the same thing as using (%~) with const:

l .~ x = l %~ const x

See set if you want a non-operator synonym. Here it is used to change 2 fields of a 3-tuple:

>>> (0,0,0) & _1 .~ 1 & _3 .~ 3
(1,0,3)

The operator form of set.

Set all referenced fields to the given value.

Set all referenced fields to the given value.

Reverse composition, but with the side effects still in left-to-right order.
