trait MonoidK[F[_]] extends SemigroupK[F] with Serializable

MonoidK is a universal monoid which operates on kinds.

This type class is useful when its type parameter F[_] has a structure that can be combined for any particular type, and which also has an "empty" representation. Thus, MonoidK is like a Monoid for kinds (i.e. parametrized types).

A MonoidK[F] can produce a Monoid[F[A]] for any type A.

Here's how to distinguish Monoid and MonoidK:

  • Monoid[A] allows A values to be combined, and also means there is an "empty" A value that functions as an identity.
  • MonoidK[F] allows two F[A] values to be combined, for any A. It also means that for any A, there is an "empty" F[A] value. The combination operation and empty value just depend on the structure of F, but not on the structure of A.

Abstract Value Members

  1. abstract def combineK[A](x: F[A], y: F[A]): F[A]

    Combine two F[A] values.

    Combine two F[A] values.

    Example:

    scala> import cats.implicits._
scala> SemigroupK[List].combineK(List(1, 2), List(3, 4))
res0: List[Int] = List(1, 2, 3, 4)

  2. abstract def empty[A]: F[A]

    Given a type A, create an "empty" F[A] value.

    Given a type A, create an "empty" F[A] value.

    Example:

    scala> import cats.implicits._
scala> MonoidK[List].empty[Long]
res0: List[Long] = List()

  7. def compose[G[_]]: MonoidK[[α]F[G[α]]]

    "Compose" with a G[_] type to form a SemigroupK for λ[α => F[G[α]]].

    "Compose" with a G[_] type to form a SemigroupK for λ[α => F[G[α]]]. Note that this universally works for any G, because the "inner" structure isn't considered when combining two instances.

    Example:

    scala> import cats.implicits._
scala> type ListOption[A] = List[Option[A]]
scala> val s: SemigroupK[ListOption] = SemigroupK[List].compose[Option]
scala> s.combineK(List(Some(1), None, Some(2)), List(Some(3), None))
res0: List[Option[Int]] = List(Some(1), None, Some(2), Some(3), None)
