# Types

data Path b t Source

Path of some base and type.

Internally is a string. The string can be of two formats only:

1. File format: `file.txt`, `foo/bar.txt`, `/foo/bar.txt`
2. Directory format: `foo/`, `/foo/bar/`

All directories end in a trailing separator. There are no duplicate path separators `//`, no `..`, no `./`, no `~/`, etc.

Instances

Eq (Path b t) Source

String equality.

The following property holds:

    show x == show y ≡ x == y

Ord (Path b t) Source

String ordering.

The following property holds:

    show x `compare` show y ≡ x `compare` y

Show (Path b t) Source

Same as `toFilePath`.

The following property holds:

    x == y ≡ show x == show y

data Abs Source

An absolute path.

data Rel Source

A relative path; one without a root.

data File Source

A file path.

data Dir Source

A directory path.

# Parsing

parseAbsDir :: MonadThrow m => FilePath -> m (Path Abs Dir) Source

Get a location for an absolute directory. Produces a normalized path which always ends in a path separator.

Throws: `PathParseException`

parseRelDir :: MonadThrow m => FilePath -> m (Path Rel Dir) Source

Get a location for a relative directory. Produces a normalized path which always ends in a path separator.

Throws: `PathParseException`

parseAbsFile :: MonadThrow m => FilePath -> m (Path Abs File) Source

Get a location for an absolute file.

Throws: `PathParseException`

parseRelFile :: MonadThrow m => FilePath -> m (Path Rel File) Source

Get a location for a relative file.

Throws: `PathParseException`

data PathParseException Source

Exception when parsing a location.

Instances

Show PathParseException Source |
Exception PathParseException Source |

# Constructors

mkAbsDir :: FilePath -> Q Exp Source

Make a 'Path Abs Dir'.

Remember: due to the nature of absolute paths this (e.g. `/home/foo`) may compile on your platform, but it may not compile on another platform (Windows).

mkRelDir :: FilePath -> Q Exp Source

Make a 'Path Rel Dir'.

mkAbsFile :: FilePath -> Q Exp Source

Make a 'Path Abs File'.

Remember: due to the nature of absolute paths this (e.g. `/home/foo`) may compile on your platform, but it may not compile on another platform (Windows).

mkRelFile :: FilePath -> Q Exp Source

Make a 'Path Rel File'.

# Operations

(</>) :: Path b Dir -> Path Rel t -> Path b t Source

Append two paths.

The following cases are valid and the equalities hold:

    $(mkAbsDir x) </> $(mkRelDir y) = $(mkAbsDir (x ++ "/" ++ y))

    $(mkAbsDir x) </> $(mkRelFile y) = $(mkAbsFile (x ++ "/" ++ y))

    $(mkRelDir x) </> $(mkRelDir y) = $(mkRelDir (x ++ "/" ++ y))

    $(mkRelDir x) </> $(mkRelFile y) = $(mkRelFile (x ++ "/" ++ y))

The following are proven not possible to express:

    $(mkAbsFile …) </> x

    $(mkRelFile …) </> x

    x </> $(mkAbsFile …)

    x </> $(mkAbsDir …)

stripDir :: MonadThrow m => Path b Dir -> Path b t -> m (Path Rel t) Source

Strip directory from path, making it relative to that directory. Returns `Nothing` if directory is not a parent of the path.

The following properties hold:

    stripDir x (x </> y) = y

Cases which are proven not possible:

    stripDir (a :: Path Abs …) (b :: Path Rel …)

    stripDir (a :: Path Rel …) (b :: Path Abs …)

In other words the bases must match.

Throws: `Couldn'tStripPrefixDir`

isParentOf :: Path b Dir -> Path b t -> Bool Source

Is p a parent of the given location? Implemented in terms of `stripDir`. The bases must match.

parent :: Path Abs t -> Path Abs Dir Source

Take the absolute parent directory from the absolute path.

The following properties hold:

    parent (x </> y) == x

On the root, getting the parent is idempotent:

    parent (parent "/") = "/"

filename :: Path b File -> Path Rel File Source

Extract the file part of a path.

The following properties hold:

    filename (p </> a) == filename a

dirname :: Path b Dir -> Path Rel Dir Source

Extract the last directory name of a path.

The following properties hold:

    dirname (p </> a) == dirname a

# Conversion

toFilePath :: Path b t -> FilePath Source

Convert to a `FilePath` type.

All directories have a trailing slash, so if you want no trailing slash, you can use `dropTrailingPathSeparator` from the filepath package.

fromAbsDir :: Path Abs Dir -> FilePath Source

Convert absolute path to directory to `FilePath` type.

fromRelDir :: Path Rel Dir -> FilePath Source

Convert relative path to directory to `FilePath` type.

fromAbsFile :: Path Abs File -> FilePath Source

Convert absolute path to file to `FilePath` type.

fromRelFile :: Path Rel File -> FilePath Source

Convert relative path to file to `FilePath` type.
