Mouse

Mouse is a small companion to the Cats functional programming library for Scala. It includes convenience extension methods for Scala standard library classes, including some found in scalaz that are not in Cats.

The library arose from this Cats issue and is a Typelevel member.

Mouse is published for Scala 2.12 and 2.13. For Scala.jvm:

"org.typelevel" %% "mouse" % version

For scala.js 1.x:

"org.typelevel" %%% "mouse" % version

Content

Mouse includes enrichments for:

Example:

scala> import mouse.all._
import mouse.all._

scala> true.option("Its true!")
res0: Option[String] = Some(Its true!)

scala> def makeEven(i: Int) = (i % 2 == 1).applyIf(i)(_ - 1)
def makeEven(i: Int): Int

scala> res0.cata(msg => s"Message received: ${msg}", "No message")
res1: String = Message received: Its true!

scala> "1.0".parseFloat
res0: Either[NumberFormatException, Float] = Right(1.0F)

scala> "foo".parseIntValidated
res1: cats.data.Validated[NumberFormatException,Int] = Invalid(java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "foo")

scala> val t1 = scala.util.Try(new java.net.URL("https://www.github.com"))
t1: scala.util.Try[java.net.URL] = Success(https://www.github.com)

scala> t1.cata(msg => s"URL is valid!", error => s"URL is invalid: ${error.getMessage}")
res1: String = URL is valid!

scala> t1.toEither
res2: Either[Throwable,java.net.URL] = Right(https://www.github.com)

scala> val t2 = scala.util.Try(new java.net.URL("https//www.github.com"))
t2: scala.util.Try[java.net.URL] = Failure(java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: https//www.github.com)

scala> t2.cata(msg => s"URL is valid!", error => s"URL is invalid: ${error.getMessage}")
res3: String = URL is invalid: no protocol: https//www.github.com

scala> t2.toEither
res4: Either[Throwable,java.net.URL] = Left(java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: https//www.github.com)

scala> val intToBytes = 123456789.toByteArray
intToBytes: Array[Byte] = Array(7, 91, -51, 21)

scala> val longToBase64 = 123456789L.toBase64
longToBase64: String = AAAAAAdbzRU

scala> 5.squared
res0: Int = 25

scala> 1.5 |> (_.toInt) |> (_.toString)
res0: String = 1

//lift a partial function into a total function to an Either, when you want to treat unhandled input cases as an error
scala> liftEither[Option[Int]]({case Some(n) => n}, a => s"Unexpected: $a")(Some(6))
res0: Either[String,Int] = Right(6)

scala> val mapped = Map(1 -> 2, 3 -> 4).mapKeys(_ * 2)
mapped: Map[Int,Int] = Map(2 -> 2, 6 -> 4)

Version 0.10-MF (Aug 17) is built against cats 1.0.0-MF. It mainly supports compat testing for cats 1.0 release.

Version 0.9 (Jun 17) is built against cats 0.9, rename either->toEither on Try to align with 2.12 core changes.

Version 0.4 (July 2016) includes a breaking package rename from com.github.benhutchison.mouse -> mouse. Rationale was to follow cats and other modern libs convention of short, convenient package names.

Scope of Library

Provide enrichments to classes from the Scala standard library that convert to Cats datatypes, or otherwise improve the functional programming experience.
Make it easier to migrate source code between Scalaz and Cats.

Contributing

Issues and pull requests are welcome. Code contributions should be aligned with the above scope to be included, and include unit tests.
