什么是 fp-ts 谓词？

Question

我正在尝试使用 fp-ts 实现一些简单的数据验证，并遇到了这个codesandboxexample：

import * as E from "fp-ts/lib/Either";
import { getSemigroup, NonEmptyArray } from "fp-ts/lib/NonEmptyArray";
import { sequence } from "fp-ts/lib/Array";
import { pipe } from "fp-ts/lib/pipeable";
import { Predicate } from "fp-ts/lib/function";

type ValidationError = NonEmptyArray<string>;

type ValidationResult = E.Either<ValidationError, unknown>;

type ValidationsResult<T> = E.Either<ValidationError, T>;

interface Validator {
  (x: unknown): ValidationResult;
}

interface Name extends String {}

const applicativeV = E.getValidation(getSemigroup<string>());

const validateName: (
  validations: Array<Validator>,
  value: unknown
) => ValidationsResult<Name> = (validations, value) =>
  validations.length
    ? pipe(
        sequence(applicativeV)(validations.map((afb) => afb(value))),
        E.map(() => value as Name)
      )
    : E.right(value as Name);

const stringLengthPredicate: Predicate<unknown> = (v) =>
  typeof v === "string" && v.length > 4;

const lengthAtLeastFour: Validator = E.fromPredicate(
  stringLengthPredicate,
  () => ["value must be a string of at least 5 characters"]
);

const requiredLetterPredicate: Predicate<unknown> = (v) =>
  typeof v === "string" && v.includes("t");

const hasLetterT: Validator = E.fromPredicate(requiredLetterPredicate, () => [
  'value must be a string that includes the letter "t"'
]);

const validations = [hasLetterT, lengthAtLeastFour];

console.log(validateName(validations, "sim"));
// {left: ['value must be a string that includes the letter "t"', 'value must be a string of at least 4 characters']}

console.log(validateName(validations, "timmy"));
// {right: 'timmy'}

Predicate 是什么？在这个例子中使用它有什么作用？我在文档中没有看到任何关于它的作用的解释，只是它是 part of the API 并且它似乎修改了提供的接口。

Answer 1

Predicate<A> = (a:A) => boolean

谓词是一个接受参数并返回布尔值的函数。它是 filter 和 fromPredicate 采用的类型，属于 Option 和 Either 等许多类型。

例如，

import { filter } from 'fp-ts/Array'
import { pipe } from 'fp-ts/function'
import { fromPredicate } from 'fp-ts/Either'

const errorIfNotThree = fromPredicate<number>(x => x===3, () => 'not three!')
const f = pipe([1,2,3], filter(x => x===3))

errorIfNotThree(3) // right(3)
errorIfNotThree(5) // left('not three!')
f // [3]

在上面，x => x===3 的类型是 Predicate<number>，因为它是一个接受数字并返回布尔值的函数
