type 'a t

val (>>=) : 'a t -> ('a -> 'b t) -> 'b t: t >>= f returns a computation that sequences the computations represented by two monad elements. The resulting computation first does t to yield a value v, and then runs the computation returned by f v.

val (>>|) : 'a t -> ('a -> 'b) -> 'b t: t >>| f is t >>= (fun a -> return (f a)).

module Monad_infix : Base__.Monad_intf.Infix with type 'a t := 'a t

val bind : 'a t -> f:('a -> 'b t) -> 'b t: bind t ~f = t >>= f

val return : 'a -> 'a t: return v returns the (trivial) computation that returns v.

val map : 'a t -> f:('a -> 'b) -> 'b t: map t ~f is t >>| f.

val join : 'a t t -> 'a t: join t is t >>= (fun t' -> t').

val ignore_m : 'a t -> unit t: ignore_m t is map t ~f:(fun _ -> ()). ignore_m used to be called ignore, but we decided that was a bad name, because it shadowed the widely used Caml.ignore. Some monads still do let ignore = ignore_m for historical reasons.

val all : 'a t list -> 'a list t
val all_unit : unit t list -> unit t: Like all, but ensures that every monadic value in the list produces a unit value, all of which are discarded rather than being collected into a list.

val of_event : Bonsai_web__.Import.Vdom.Event.t -> unit t: Converts a Vdom.Event.t to an Effect.t. This can be useful if you want to use the monadic interface that is available via Effect.t in order to sequence events.

val of_deferred_fun : ('query -> 'result Async_kernel.Deferred.t) -> ('query -> 'result t) Core_kernel.Staged.t: of_deferred_fun is a way to convert from a deferred-returning function to an effect-returning function. This function is commonly used to wrap RPC calls. Memory is allocated permenantly every time that of_deferred_fun is called, so be sure to re-use the function inside the Staged.t!

val of_sync_fun : ('query -> 'result) -> ('query -> 'result t) Core_kernel.Staged.t: of_sync_fun is similar to of_deferred_fun but with a synchronous function instead of a deferred one. This can be used for functions that are synchronous but side-effecting, or as a mock-function in tests that replace the usages of of_deferred_fun in the actual app.

val never : _ t: An effect that never completes

val inject : 'a t -> on_response:('a -> Bonsai_web__.Import.Vdom.Event.t) -> Bonsai_web__.Import.Vdom.Event.t: Produces an event which schedules the some computation to be run. When that computation is complete, on_response is called with the value.

val inject_ignoring_response : unit t -> Bonsai_web__.Import.Vdom.Event.t: When the type being computed is unit, you are calling this Effect for side-effects that don't yield a value back. inject_ignoring_response frees you from having to pass an on_response callback.

val inject_with_userdata : 'a t -> userdata:'u -> on_response:('a -> 'u -> Bonsai_web__.Import.Vdom.Event.t) -> Bonsai_web__.Import.Vdom.Event.t: inject_with_userdata is the same as inject, but you have the option of passing in some extra value which will also be available in the on_response callback.

val handle_error : ('ok, 'error) Core_kernel.Result.t t -> f:('error -> Bonsai_web__.Import.Vdom.Event.t) -> 'ok t: Transforms a result-returing Effect.t into an Effect.t that doesn't have it's error case, by providing a callback that handles the error condition.
