fromMaybe -package:xlsx-tabular

The fromMaybe function takes a default value and a Maybe value. If the Maybe is Nothing, it returns the default value; otherwise, it returns the value contained in the Maybe.

Examples

Basic usage:

>>> fromMaybe "" (Just "Hello, World!")
"Hello, World!"

>>> fromMaybe "" Nothing
""

Read an integer from a string using readMaybe. If we fail to parse an integer, we want to return 0 by default:

>>> import Text.Read ( readMaybe )

>>> fromMaybe 0 (readMaybe "5")
5

>>> fromMaybe 0 (readMaybe "")
0

Given a default value and a Maybe, yield the default value if the Maybe argument is Nothing and extract the value out of the Just otherwise.

The fromMaybe function takes a default value and and Maybe value. If the Maybe is Nothing, it returns the default values; otherwise, it returns the value contained in the Maybe.

Examples

Basic usage:

>>> fromMaybe "" (Just "Hello, World!")
"Hello, World!"

>>> fromMaybe "" Nothing
""

Read an integer from a string using readMaybe. If we fail to parse an integer, we want to return 0 by default:

>>> import Text.Read ( readMaybe )

>>> fromMaybe 0 (readMaybe "5")
5

>>> fromMaybe 0 (readMaybe "")
0

The fromMaybe function takes a default value and and Maybe value. If the Maybe is Nothing, it returns the default values; otherwise, it returns the value contained in the Maybe.

Examples

Basic usage:

>>> fromMaybe "" (Just "Hello, World!")
"Hello, World!"

>>> fromMaybe "" Nothing
""

Read an integer from a string using readMaybe. If we fail to parse an integer, we want to return 0 by default:

>>> import Text.Read ( readMaybe )

>>> fromMaybe 0 (readMaybe "5")
5

>>> fromMaybe 0 (readMaybe "")
0

Return the value of an optional value. The default is returned if Nothing. Compare to fromJust.

>>> fromMaybe 2 (sNothing :: SMaybe Integer)
2 :: SInteger

>>> fromMaybe 2 (sJust 5 :: SMaybe Integer)
5 :: SInteger

>>> prove $ \x -> fromMaybe x (sNothing :: SMaybe Integer) .== x
Q.E.D.

>>> prove $ \x -> fromMaybe (x+1) (sJust x :: SMaybe Integer) .== x
Q.E.D.

Lift a column over a Maybe. For example, if some people have houses and some do not, the data that pairs them together could be represented as:

>>> :{
let owners :: [(Person,Maybe House)]
owners =
[ (Person "Jordan" 18, Nothing)
, (Person "Ruth" 25, Just (House Red 125000))
, (Person "Sonia" 12, Just (House Green 145000))
]
:}

The column encodings defined earlier can be reused with the help of fromMaybe:

>>> :{
let colOwners :: Colonnade Headed (Person,Maybe House) String
colOwners = mconcat
[ lmap fst colPerson
, lmap snd (fromMaybe "" colHouse)
]
:}

>>> putStr (ascii colOwners owners)
+--------+-----+-------+---------+
| Name   | Age | Color | Price   |
+--------+-----+-------+---------+
| Jordan | 18  |       |         |
| Ruth   | 25  | Red   | $125000 |
| Sonia  | 12  | Green | $145000 |
+--------+-----+-------+---------+

Convert between Nothing and a default value, or Just and its value (not a true bijection).

fromMaybe default m is the a in m if it exists and the default otherwise

The fromMaybe function takes a default value and and Maybe value. If the Maybe is Nothing, it returns the default values; otherwise, it returns the value contained in the Maybe.

Examples

Basic usage:

>>> fromMaybe "" (Just "Hello, World!")
"Hello, World!"

>>> fromMaybe "" Nothing
""

Read an integer from a string using readMaybe. If we fail to parse an integer, we want to return 0 by default:

>>> import Text.Read ( readMaybe )

>>> fromMaybe 0 (readMaybe "5")
5

>>> fromMaybe 0 (readMaybe "")
0
