Monad

>>- (flatMap) (left associative)

public func >>- <A, B>(a: EventLoopFuture<A>, f: @escaping (A) -> EventLoopFuture<B>) -> EventLoopFuture<B>

-<< (flatMap) (right associative)

public func -<< <A, B>(f: @escaping (A) -> EventLoopFuture<B>, a: EventLoopFuture<A>) -> EventLoopFuture<B>

>=> Left-to-right Kleisli composition of monads (left associative)

public func >=> <A, B, C>(f: @escaping (A) -> EventLoopFuture<B>, g: @escaping (B) -> EventLoopFuture<C>) -> (A) -> EventLoopFuture<C>

<=< Kleisli composition of monads (right associative)

public func <=< <A, B, C>(f: @escaping (B) -> EventLoopFuture<C>, g: @escaping (A) -> EventLoopFuture<B>) -> (A) -> EventLoopFuture<C>

Functor

<^> (map) (left associative)

public func <^> <A, B>(a: EventLoopFuture<A>, f: @escaping (A) -> B) -> EventLoopFuture<B>

Applicative

<*> Applicative

public func <*> <A, B>(f: EventLoopFuture<((A) -> B)>, a: EventLoopFuture<A>) -> EventLoopFuture<B>

Usage

func get(with client: RedisClient, for data: RedisData) -> Future<RedisData> {
        return client.command("GET", [data])
}
private func terse(_ req: Request) throws -> Future<RedisResponse> {
        let client = try req.make(RedisClient.self)
        return get(with: client, for: "KEY")
            >>-  curry(get)(client)
            >>-  curry(get)(client)
            >>-  curry(get)(client)
            <^> RedisResponse.init
}

vs

 private func nested(_ req: Request) throws -> Future<RedisResponse> {
        let client = try req.make(RedisClient.self)
        return client.command("GET", ["key"]).flatMap(to: RedisResponse.self) { data in
            return client.command("GET", [data]).flatMap(to: RedisResponse.self) { data in
                return client.command("GET", [data]).map(to: RedisResponse.self) { data in
                    return RedisResponse(data)
                }
            }
        }
    }

Kleisli composition of monads

>=> is a monadic version of function composition.

func query(with: String) -> EventLoopFuture<Int> {
    return EventLoopFuture(2)
}
func updateCache(with id: Int) -> EventLoopFuture<String> {
    return EventLoopFuture("Success")
}
let queryAndUpdate = query >=> updateCache

Applicative

Applies a future function to a future value

Curry

Currying is the technique of translating the evaluation of a function that takes multiple arguments into evaluating a sequence of functions, each with a single argument.

 let renderer: (String, Encodable) -> Future<View> = try req.make(LeafRenderer.self).render
 curry(renderer) //(String) -> (Encodable) -> Future<View>
 overview >>- curry(renderer)("overview")

This is useful for using the operators with non unary functions.
