Finding Happiness in Functional Programming
None
Principles that we benefited from
Separation of effects from purity
Isolation of side-effects An expression is said to have a
side-effect if its execution makes an observable change to the outside world.
Isolation of side-effects self.titleLabel.text = user.name
Isolation of side-effects func update(text: String, forLabel: UILabel) { label.text
= text } update(text: user.name, forLabel: self.titleLabel)
Isolation of side-effects self.loginButton.enabled = !self.userTextField.text.isEmpty && !self.passwordTextField.text.isEmpty
Isolation of side-effects func updateLoginButtonEnabled() { self.loginButton.enabled = !self.userTextField.text.isEmpty &&
!self.passwordTextField.text.isEmpty } func emailChanged() { self.updateLoginButtonEnabled() } func passwordChanged() { self.updateLoginButtonEnabled() }
Isolation of side-effects // Pure, functional world let emailChanged: Signal<String,
NoError> let passwordChanged: Signal<String, NoError> let loginButtonEnabled = combineLatest(emailChanged, passwordChanged) .map { !$0.isEmpty && !$1.isEmpty } // Side-effect world loginButtonEnabled.observeNext { [weak self] in self?.loginButtonEnabled.enabled = $0 }
Isolation of side-effects // Pure, functional world let emailChanged: Signal<String,
NoError> let passwordChanged: Signal<String, NoError> let loginButtonEnabled = combineLatest(emailChanged, passwordChanged) .map { !$0.isEmpty && !$1.isEmpty } // Side-effect world self.loginButton.rac.enabled = loginButtonEnabled
Surfacing of co-effects
Surfacing of co-effects ????????????????
Surfacing of co-effects If an effect is a change to
the outside world after executing an expression...
Surfacing of co-effects If an effect is a change to
the outside world after executing an expression... ...then...
Surfacing of co-effects If an effect is a change to
the outside world after executing an expression... ...then... ...a co-effect is the state of the world that the expression needs in order to execute.
Surfacing of co-effects e.g. Dependency Injection
Surfacing of co-effects Dependency Injection func currentUserIsCreator(ofProject project: Project) ->
Bool { return User.currentUser.id == project.creator.id } currentUserIsCreator(ofProject: project) // => true or false
Surfacing of co-effects Dependency Injection func user(_ user: User, isCreatorOfProject:
Project) -> Bool { return user.id == project.creator.id } user(User.currentUser, isCreatorOfProject: project) // => true or false
Surfacing of co-effects References — Colin Barrett — Functional Swift
Conference 2015 — Structure and Interpretation of Swift Programs — The work of Tomas Petricek — Coeffects: A calculus of context-dependent computation — Coeffects: The next big programming challenge
Effect/Co-effect Duality
Code to the interface you wish you had, not the
interface you were given. - Stephen Celis
An interface we were given
An interface we were given Storyboards — Very thick abstraction
layer — Separates code from data — Constantly catching up to what UIKit can do
An interface we wish we had Lenses
An interface we wish we had Lenses struct Project {
let creator: User let id: Int let name: String }
An interface we wish we had Lenses Project.lens.name // =>
Lens<Project, String>
An interface we wish we had Lenses Project.lens.name // =>
Lens<Project, String> Project.lens.name .~ "Advanced Swift" // => Project -> Project
An interface we wish we had Lenses Project.lens.name // =>
Lens<Project, String> Project.lens.name .~ "Advanced Swift" // => Project -> Project project |> Project.lens.name .~ "Advanced Swift"
An interface we wish we had Lenses project |> Project.lens.name
.~ "Advanced Swift" |> Project.lens.creator.name .~ "Chris Eidhof"
An interface we wish we had UIKit Lenses
An interface we wish we had UIKit Lenses UIView.lens.backgroundColor //
=> Lens<UIView, UIColor>
An interface we wish we had UIKit Lenses UIView.lens.backgroundColor //
=> Lens<UIView, UIColor> UIView.lens.backgroundColor .~ .redColor() // => UIView -> UIView
An interface we wish we had UIKit Lenses UIView.lens.backgroundColor //
=> Lens<UIView, UIColor> UIView.lens.backgroundColor .~ .redColor() // => UIView -> UIView view |> UIView.lens.backgroundColor .~ .redColor() |> UIView.lens.layer.cornerRadius .~ 4 |> UIView.lens.layer.masksToBounds .~ true
An interface we wish we had UIKit Lenses func roundedStyle(cornerRadius:
CGFloat) -> (UIView) -> UIView { return UIView.lens.layer.cornerRadius .~ 4 <> UIView.lens.layer.masksToBounds .~ true } view |> roundedStyle(cornerRadius: 4) |> UIView.lens.backgroundColor .~ .redColor()
An interface we wish we had UIKit Lenses let baseButtonStyle
= roundedStyle(cornerRadius: 4) <> UIButton.lens.titleLabel.font .~ UIFont(size: 16) <> UIButton.lens.contentEdgeInsets .~ .init(topBottom: 6, leftRight: 12) let greenButtonStyle = baseButtonStyle <> UIButton.lens.backgroundColor(forState: .Normal) .~ .greenColor()
An interface we wish we had UIKit Lenses let bigButtonStyle
= baseButtonStyle <> UIButton.lens.contentEdgeInsets %~ { .init(top: $0.top * 2, left: $0.left * 2, bottom: $0.bottom * 2, right: $0.right * 2) }
An interface we wish we had UIKit Lenses let baseButtonStyle
= roundedStyle(cornerRadius: 4) <> UIButton.lens.titleLabel.font %~~ { _, button in button.traitCollection.verticalSizeClass == .Compact ? UIFont(size: 12) : UIFont(size: 14) } <> UIButton.lens.contentEdgeInsets .~ .init(topBottom: 6, leftRight: 12)
Principles that we did not benefit so much from: —
D.R.Y. — S.R.P. — S.O.L.I.D. — Objects
