Identity

An Identity is a wrapper for a value that cannot be changed. It is useful for handling pure values.

Implements: Monad, Semigroup, Setoid

• Identity
  • Identity(v)
  • Identity.of(v)
  • Identity.equals(j)
  • Identity.concat(p)
  • Identity.getValue()
  • Identity.map(f)
  • Identity.chain(f)
  • Identity.toString()
  • Examples

Identity(v)

The Identity constructor.

Param	Type	Description
v	any	The value to be wrapped by Identity. This cannot be undefined.

Identity.of(v)

Identity constructor.

Param	Type	Description
v	any	The value to be wrapped by Identity. This cannot be undefined.

Identity.equals(j)

Checks if the value of the current Identity is equal to the value of the passed Identity. This uses strict equality (===) to compare the values of the two Identities.

Param	Type	Description
j	Identity	The Identity to compare with

Identity.concat(p)

Concatenates the current Identity with the passed one. Note that the values of both Identities must be of the same type and must be of a type that supports the Semigroup concatenation operation for this to work.

Param	Type	Description
p	Identity	The Identity to concatenate with

Identity.getValue()

Gets the value within the Identity.

Identity.map(f)

Applies the function to the value of the current Identity.

Param	Type	Description
f	function	Function

Identity.chain(f)

Chains a computation that returns an Identity.

Param	Type	Description
f	function	Function that returns another Identity

Identity.toString()

Returns a stringified version of the Identity.
