# fp-go
> A comprehensive functional programming library for Go, bringing type-safe monads, functors, applicatives, optics, and composable abstractions inspired by fp-ts and Haskell to the Go ecosystem. Created by IBM, licensed under Apache-2.0.
fp-go v2 requires Go 1.24+ and leverages generic type aliases for a cleaner API.
Key concepts: `Option` for nullable values, `Either`/`Result` for error handling, `IO` for lazy side effects, `Reader` for dependency injection, `IOResult` for effectful error handling, `ReaderIOResult` for the full monad stack, and `Optics` (lens, prism, traversal, iso) for immutable data manipulation.
## Core Documentation
- [API Reference (pkg.go.dev)](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2): Complete API documentation for all packages

// validateAlt creates a validation function that tries the first codec's validation,

//
// This is an internal helper function that implements the Alternative pattern for
// codec validation. It combines two codec validators using the validate.Alt operation,
// which provides error recovery and fallback logic.
//
// # Type Parameters
//
// - A: The target type that both codecs decode to
// - O: The output type that both codecs encode to
// - I: The input type that both codecs decode from
//
// # Parameters
//
// - first: The primary codec whose validation is tried first
// - second: A lazy codec that serves as the fallback. It's only evaluated if the
// first validation fails.
//
// # Returns
//
// A Validate[I, A] function that tries the first codec's validation, falling back
// to the second if needed. If both fail, errors from both are aggregated.
//
// # Behavior
//
// - **First succeeds**: Returns the first result, second is never evaluated
// - **First fails, second succeeds**: Returns the second result
// - **Both fail**: Aggregates errors from both validators
//
// # Notes
//
// - The second codec is lazily evaluated for efficiency
// - This function is used internally by MonadAlt and Alt
// - The validation context is threaded through both validators
// - Errors are accumulated using the validation error monoid

// MonadAlt creates a new codec that tries the first codec, and if it fails during
// validation, tries the second codec as a fallback.
//
// This function implements the Alternative typeclass pattern for codecs, enabling
// "try this codec, or else try that codec" logic. It's particularly useful for:
// - Handling multiple valid input formats
// - Providing backward compatibility with legacy formats
// - Implementing graceful degradation in parsing
// - Supporting union types or polymorphic data
//
// The resulting codec uses the first codec's encoder and combines both validators
// using the Alternative pattern. If both validations fail, errors from both are
// aggregated for comprehensive error reporting.
//
// # Type Parameters
//
// - A: The target type that both codecs decode to
// - O: The output type that both codecs encode to
// - I: The input type that both codecs decode from
//
// # Parameters
//
// - first: The primary codec to try first. Its encoder is used for the result.
// - second: A lazy codec that serves as the fallback. It's only evaluated if the
// first validation fails.
//
// # Returns
//
// A new Type[A, O, I] that combines both codecs with Alternative semantics.
//
// # Behavior
//
// **Validation**:
// - **First succeeds**: Returns the first result, second is never evaluated
// - **First fails, second succeeds**: Returns the second result
// - **Both fail**: Aggregates errors from both validators
//
// **Encoding**:
// - Always uses the first codec's encoder
// - This assumes both codecs encode to the same output format
//
// **Type Checking**:
// - Uses the generic Is[A]() type checker
// - Validates that values are of type A
//
// # Example: Multiple Input Formats
//
// import (
// "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/optics/codec"
// )
//
// // Accept integers as either strings or numbers
// intFromString := codec.IntFromString()
// intFromNumber := codec.Int()
//
// // Try parsing as string first, fall back to number
// flexibleInt := codec.MonadAlt(
// intFromString,
// func() codec.Type[int, any, any] { return intFromNumber },
// )
//
// // Can now decode both "42" and 42
// result1 := flexibleInt.Decode("42") // Success(42)
// result2 := flexibleInt.Decode(42) // Success(42)
//
// # Example: Backward Compatibility
//
// // Support both old and new configuration formats
// newConfigCodec := codec.Struct(/* new format */)
// oldConfigCodec := codec.Struct(/* old format */)
//
// // Try new format first, fall back to old format
// configCodec := codec.MonadAlt(
// newConfigCodec,
// func() codec.Type[Config, any, any] { return oldConfigCodec },
// )
//
// // Automatically handles both formats
// config := configCodec.Decode(input)
//
// # Example: Error Aggregation
//
// // Both validations will fail for invalid input
// result := flexibleInt.Decode("not a number")
// // Result contains errors from both string and number parsing attempts
//
// # Notes
//
// - The second codec is lazily evaluated for efficiency
// - First success short-circuits evaluation (second not called)
// - Errors are aggregated when both fail
// - The resulting codec's name is "Alt[<first codec name>]"
// - Both codecs must have compatible input and output types
// - The first codec's encoder is always used
//
// # See Also
//
// - Alt: The curried, point-free version
// - validate.MonadAlt: The underlying validation operation
// - Either: For codecs that decode to Either[L, R] types

//
// This is the curried, point-free version of MonadAlt. It returns a function that
// can be applied to codecs to add fallback behavior. This style is particularly
// useful for building codec transformation pipelines using function composition.
//
// Alt implements the Alternative typeclass pattern, enabling "try this codec, or
// else try that codec" logic in a composable way.
//
// # Type Parameters
//
// - A: The target type that both codecs decode to
// - O: The output type that both codecs encode to
// - I: The input type that both codecs decode from
//
// # Parameters
//
// - second: A lazy codec that serves as the fallback. It's only evaluated if the
// first codec's validation fails.
//
// # Returns
//
// An Operator[A, A, O, I] that transforms codecs by adding alternative fallback logic.
// This operator can be applied to any Type[A, O, I] to create a new codec with
// fallback behavior.
//
// # Behavior
//
// When the returned operator is applied to a codec:
// - **First succeeds**: Returns the first result, second is never evaluated
// - **First fails, second succeeds**: Returns the second result
// - **Both fail**: Aggregates errors from both validators
//
// # Example: Point-Free Style
//
// import (
// F "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/function"
// "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/optics/codec"
// )
//
// // Create a reusable fallback operator
// withNumberFallback := codec.Alt(func() codec.Type[int, any, any] {
// return codec.Int()
// })
//
// // Apply it to different codecs
// flexibleInt1 := withNumberFallback(codec.IntFromString())
// flexibleInt2 := withNumberFallback(codec.IntFromHex())
//
// # Example: Pipeline Composition
//
// // Build a codec pipeline with multiple fallbacks
// flexibleCodec := F.Pipe2(
// primaryCodec,
// codec.Alt(func() codec.Type[T, O, I] { return fallback1 }),
// codec.Alt(func() codec.Type[T, O, I] { return fallback2 }),
// )
// // Tries primary, then fallback1, then fallback2
//
// # Example: Reusable Transformations
//
// // Create a transformation that adds JSON fallback
// withJSONFallback := codec.Alt(func() codec.Type[Config, string, string] {
// return codec.JSONCodec[Config]()
// })
//
// // Apply to multiple codecs
// yamlWithFallback := withJSONFallback(yamlCodec)
// tomlWithFallback := withJSONFallback(tomlCodec)
//
// # Notes
//
// - This is the point-free style version of MonadAlt
// - Useful for building transformation pipelines with F.Pipe
// - The second codec is lazily evaluated for efficiency
// - First success short-circuits evaluation
// - Errors are aggregated when both fail
// - Can be composed with other codec operators
//
// # See Also
//
// - MonadAlt: The direct application version
// - validate.Alt: The underlying validation operation
// - F.Pipe: For composing multiple operators

// AltMonoid creates a Monoid instance for Type[A, O, I] using alternative semantics
// with a provided zero/default codec.
//
// This function creates a monoid where:
// 1. The first successful codec wins (no result combination)
// 2. If the first fails during validation, the second is tried as a fallback
// 3. If both fail, errors are aggregated
// 4. The provided zero codec serves as the identity element
//
// Unlike other monoid patterns, AltMonoid does NOT combine successful results - it always
// returns the first success. This makes it ideal for building fallback chains with default
// codecs, configuration loading from multiple sources, and parser combinators with alternatives.
//
// # Type Parameters
//
// - A: The target type that all codecs decode to
// - O: The output type that all codecs encode to
// - I: The input type that all codecs decode from
//
// # Parameters
//
// - zero: A lazy Type[A, O, I] that serves as the identity element. This is typically
// a codec that always succeeds with a default value, but can also be a failing
// codec if no default is appropriate.
//
// # Returns
//
// A Monoid[Type[A, O, I]] that combines codecs using alternative semantics where
// the first success wins.
//
// # Behavior Details
//
// The AltMonoid implements a "first success wins" strategy:
//
// - **First succeeds**: Returns the first result, second is never evaluated
// - **First fails, second succeeds**: Returns the second result
// - **Both fail**: Aggregates errors from both validators
// - **Concat with Empty**: The zero codec is used as fallback
// - **Encoding**: Always uses the first codec's encoder
//
// # Example: Configuration Loading with Fallbacks
//
// import (
// "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/optics/codec"
// "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/array"
// )
//
// // Create a monoid with a default configuration
// m := codec.AltMonoid(func() codec.Type[Config, string, string] {
// return codec.MakeType(
// "DefaultConfig",
// codec.Is[Config](),
// func(s string) codec.Decode[codec.Context, Config] {
// return func(c codec.Context) codec.Validation[Config] {
// return validation.Success(defaultConfig)
// }
// },
// encodeConfig,
// )
// })
//
// // Define codecs for different sources
// fileCodec := loadFromFile("config.json")
// envCodec := loadFromEnv()
// defaultCodec := m.Empty()
//
// // Try file, then env, then default
// configCodec := array.MonadFold(
// []codec.Type[Config, string, string]{fileCodec, envCodec, defaultCodec},
// m.Empty(),
// m.Concat,
// )
//
// // Load configuration - tries each source in order
// result := configCodec.Decode(input)
//
// # Example: Parser with Multiple Formats
//
// // Create a monoid for parsing dates in multiple formats
// m := codec.AltMonoid(func() codec.Type[time.Time, string, string] {
// return codec.Date(time.RFC3339) // default format
// })
//
// // Define parsers for different date formats
// iso8601 := codec.Date("2006-01-02")
// usFormat := codec.Date("01/02/2006")
// euroFormat := codec.Date("02/01/2006")
//
// // Combine: try ISO 8601, then US, then European, then RFC3339
// flexibleDate := m.Concat(
// m.Concat(
// m.Concat(iso8601, usFormat),
// euroFormat,
// ),
// m.Empty(),
// )
//
// // Can parse any of these formats
// result1 := flexibleDate.Decode("2024-03-15") // ISO 8601
// result2 := flexibleDate.Decode("03/15/2024") // US format
// result3 := flexibleDate.Decode("15/03/2024") // European format
//
// # Example: Integer Parsing with Default
//
// // Create a monoid with default value of 0
// m := codec.AltMonoid(func() codec.Type[int, string, string] {
// return codec.MakeType(
// "DefaultZero",
// codec.Is[int](),
// func(s string) codec.Decode[codec.Context, int] {
// return func(c codec.Context) codec.Validation[int] {
// return validation.Success(0)
// }
// },
// strconv.Itoa,
// )
// })
//
// // Try parsing as int, fall back to 0
// intOrZero := m.Concat(codec.IntFromString(), m.Empty())
//
// result1 := intOrZero.Decode("42") // Success(42)
// result2 := intOrZero.Decode("invalid") // Success(0) - uses default
//
// # Example: Error Aggregation
//
// // Both codecs fail - errors are aggregated
// m := codec.AltMonoid(func() codec.Type[int, string, string] {
// return codec.MakeType(
// "NoDefault",
// codec.Is[int](),
// func(s string) codec.Decode[codec.Context, int] {
// return func(c codec.Context) codec.Validation[int] {
// return validation.FailureWithMessage[int](s, "no default available")(c)
// }
// },
// strconv.Itoa,
// )
// })
//
// failing1 := codec.MakeType(
// "Failing1",
// codec.Is[int](),
// func(s string) codec.Decode[codec.Context, int] {
// return func(c codec.Context) codec.Validation[int] {
// return validation.FailureWithMessage[int](s, "error 1")(c)
// }
// },
// strconv.Itoa,
// )
//
// failing2 := codec.MakeType(
// "Failing2",
// codec.Is[int](),
// func(s string) codec.Decode[codec.Context, int] {
// return func(c codec.Context) codec.Validation[int] {
// return validation.FailureWithMessage[int](s, "error 2")(c)
// }
// },
// strconv.Itoa,
// )
//
// combined := m.Concat(failing1, failing2)
// result := combined.Decode("input")
// // result contains errors: "error 1", "error 2", and "no default available"
//
// # Monoid Laws
//
// AltMonoid satisfies the monoid laws:
//
// 1. **Left Identity**: m.Concat(m.Empty(), codec) ≡ codec
// 2. **Right Identity**: m.Concat(codec, m.Empty()) ≡ codec (tries codec first, falls back to zero)
// 3. **Associativity**: m.Concat(m.Concat(a, b), c) ≡ m.Concat(a, m.Concat(b, c))
//
// Note: Due to the "first success wins" behavior, right identity means the zero is only
// used if the codec fails.
//
// # Use Cases
//
// - Configuration loading with multiple sources (file, env, default)
// - Parsing data in multiple formats with fallbacks
// - API versioning (try v2, fall back to v1, then default)
// - Content negotiation (try JSON, then XML, then plain text)
// - Validation with default values
// - Parser combinators with alternative branches
//
// # Notes
//
// - The zero codec is lazily evaluated, only when needed
// - First success short-circuits evaluation (subsequent codecs not tried)
// - Error aggregation ensures all validation failures are reported
// - Encoding always uses the first codec's encoder
// - This follows the alternative functor laws
//
