IO -is:module

A value of type IO a is a computation which, when performed, does some I/O before returning a value of type a. There is really only one way to "perform" an I/O action: bind it to Main.main in your program. When your program is run, the I/O will be performed. It isn't possible to perform I/O from an arbitrary function, unless that function is itself in the IO monad and called at some point, directly or indirectly, from Main.main. IO is a monad, so IO actions can be combined using either the do-notation or the >> and >>= operations from the Monad class.

Embed in the IO monad.

Weigh an action applied to an argument. Implemented in terms of validateAction.

Perform an arbitrary IO action. NB. For a version which generalizes over the underlying monad, see io

Generalization of io

Lift an IO action into the X monad

Short-hand for liftIO.

Enforce the type of expectation Useful with polymorphic expectations that are defined below.

Example

Because shouldBeExpr is polymorphic in m, compiler will choke with a unification error. This is due to the fact that hspec's it expects a polymorphic Example.

it "MyTest" $ do
"foo" `shouldBeExpr` "bar"

However, this is easily solved by io:

it "MyTest" $ io $ do
"foo" `shouldBeExpr` "bar"
