An yielder is a lazily evaluated sequence of element.
Yielders are useful when working with collections that are too large to fit in memory (or those that are infinite in size) as they only require the elements currently being processed to be in memory.
As a lazy data structure no work is done when an yielder is filtered,
mapped, etc, instead a new yielder is returned with these transformations
applied to the stream. Once the stream has all the required transformations
applied it can be evaluated using functions such as fold
and to_list
.
pub opaque type Yielder(element)
Functions
pub fn all(
in yielder: Yielder(a),
satisfying predicate: fn(a) -> Bool,
) -> Bool
Returns True
if all elements emitted by the yielder satisfy the given predicate,
False
otherwise.
This function short-circuits once it finds a non-satisfying element.
An empty yielder results in True
.
Examples
empty()
|> all(fn(n) { n % 2 == 0 })
// -> True
from_list([2, 4, 6, 8])
|> all(fn(n) { n % 2 == 0 })
// -> True
from_list([2, 4, 5, 8])
|> all(fn(n) { n % 2 == 0 })
// -> False
pub fn any(
in yielder: Yielder(a),
satisfying predicate: fn(a) -> Bool,
) -> Bool
Returns True
if any element emitted by the yielder satisfies the given predicate,
False
otherwise.
This function short-circuits once it finds a satisfying element.
An empty yielder results in False
.
Examples
empty()
|> any(fn(n) { n % 2 == 0 })
// -> False
from_list([1, 2, 5, 7, 9])
|> any(fn(n) { n % 2 == 0 })
// -> True
from_list([1, 3, 5, 7, 9])

// -> False
pub fn append(
to first: Yielder(a),
suffix second: Yielder(a),
) -> Yielder(a)
Appends two yielders, producing a new yielder.
This function does not evaluate the elements of the yielders, the computation is performed when the resulting yielder is later run.
Examples
from_list([1, 2])
|> append(from_list([3, 4]))
|> to_list
// -> [1, 2, 3, 4]
pub fn at(
in yielder: Yielder(a),
get index: Int,
) -> Result(a, Nil)
Returns nth element yielded by the given yielder, where 0
means the first element.
If there are not enough elements in the yielder, Error(Nil)
is returned.
For any index
less than 0
this function behaves as if it was set to 0
.
Examples
from_list([1, 2, 3, 4]) |> at(2)
// -> Ok(3)
from_list([1, 2, 3, 4]) |> at(4)
// -> Error(Nil)
empty() |> at(0)
// -> Error(Nil)
pub fn chunk(
over yielder: Yielder(a),
by f: fn(a) -> b,

pub fn flat_map(
over yielder: Yielder(a),
with f: fn(a) -> Yielder(b),
) -> Yielder(b)
Creates an yielder from an existing yielder and a transformation function.
Each element in the new yielder will be the result of calling the given function on the elements in the given yielder and then flattening the results.
This function does not evaluate the elements of the yielder, the computation is performed when the yielder is later run.
Examples
from_list([1, 2])
|> flat_map(fn(x) { from_list([x, x + 1]) })
|> to_list
// -> [1, 2, 2, 3]
pub fn flatten(yielder: Yielder(Yielder(a))) -> Yielder(a)
Flattens an yielder of yielders, creating a new yielder.
This function does not evaluate the elements of the yielder, the computation is performed when the yielder is later run.

pub fn fold(
over yielder: Yielder(a),
from initial: b,
with f: fn(b, a) -> b,
) -> b
Reduces an yielder of elements into a single value by calling a given function on each element in turn.
If called on an yielder of infinite length then this function will never return.
If you do not care about the end value and only wish to evaluate the
yielder for side effects consider using the run
function instead.
Examples
from_list([1, 2, 3, 4])
|> fold(from: 0, with: fn(acc, element) { element + acc })
// -> 10
pub fn fold_until(
over yielder: Yielder(a),
from initial: b,
with f: fn(b, a) -> ContinueOrStop(b),
) -> b
Like fold
, fold_until
reduces an yielder of elements into a single value by calling a given
function on each element in turn, but uses list.ContinueOrStop
to determine
whether or not to keep iterating.
If called on an yielder of infinite length then this function will only ever
return if the function returns list.Stop
.
Examples
import gleam/list
let f = fn(acc, e) {
case e {
_ if e < 4 -> list.Continue(e + acc)
_ -> list.Stop(acc)
}
}
from_list([1, 2, 3, 4])
|> fold_until(from: 0, with: f)
// -> 6
pub fn from_list(list: List(a)) -> Yielder(a)
Creates an yielder that yields each element from the given list.
Examples
from_list([1, 2, 3, 4])
|> to_list
// -> [1, 2, 3, 4]
pub fn group(
in yielder: Yielder(a),
by key: fn(a) -> b,
) -> Dict(b, List(a))
Returns a Dict(k, List(element))
of elements from the given yielder
grouped with the given key function.
The order within each group is preserved from the yielder.
Examples
from_list([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6])
|> group(by: fn(n) { n % 3 })
// -> dict.from_list([#(0, [3, 6]), #(1, [1, 4]), #(2, [2, 5])])
pub fn index(over yielder: Yielder(a)) -> Yielder(#(a, Int))
Wraps values yielded from an yielder with indices, starting from 0.
Examples
from_list(["a", "b", "c"]) |> index |> to_list
// -> [#("a", 0), #("b", 1), #("c", 2)]
pub fn interleave(
left: Yielder(a),
with right: Yielder(a),
) -> Yielder(a)
Creates an yielder that alternates between the two given yielders until both have run out.
Examples
from_list([1, 2, 3, 4])
|> interleave(from_list([11, 12, 13, 14]))
|> to_list
// -> [1, 11, 2, 12, 3, 13, 4, 14]
from_list([1, 2, 3, 4])
|> interleave(from_list([100]))

pub fn last(yielder: Yielder(a)) -> Result(a, Nil)
Returns the last element in the given yielder.
Returns Error(Nil)
if the yielder is empty.
This function runs in linear time.
Examples
empty() |> last
// -> Error(Nil)
range(1, 10) |> last
// -> Ok(10)
pub fn length(over yielder: Yielder(a)) -> Int
Counts the number of elements in the given yielder.
This function has to traverse the entire yielder to count its elements, so it runs in linear time.
Examples
empty() |> length
// -> 0
from_list([1, 2, 3, 4]) |> length
// -> 4
pub fn map(
over yielder: Yielder(a),
with f: fn(a) -> b,
) -> Yielder(b)
Creates an yielder from an existing yielder and a transformation function.
Each element in the new yielder will be the result of calling the given function on the elements in the given yielder.
This function does not evaluate the elements of the yielder, the computation is performed when the yielder is later run.
Examples
from_list([1, 2, 3])
|> map(fn(x) { x * 2 })
|> to_list
// -> [2, 4, 6]
pub fn map2(
yielder1: Yielder(a),
yielder2: Yielder(b),
with fun: fn(a, b) -> c,
) -> Yielder(c)
Combines two yielders into a single one using the given function.
If an yielder is longer than the other the extra elements are dropped.
This function does not evaluate the elements of the two yielders, the computation is performed when the resulting yielder is later run.
Examples
let first = from_list([1, 2, 3])
let second = from_list([4, 5, 6])
map2(first, second, fn(x, y) { x + y }) |> to_list
// -> [5, 7, 9]
let first = from_list([1, 2])

Examples
once(fn() { 1 }) |> to_list
// -> [1]
pub fn prepend(yielder: Yielder(a), element: a) -> Yielder(a)

Examples
let yielder = from_list([1, 2, 3]) |> prepend(0)
yielder.to_list
// -> [0, 1, 2, 3]
pub fn range(from start: Int, to stop: Int) -> Yielder(Int)
Creates an yielder of ints, starting at a given start int and stepping by one to a given end int.
Examples
range(from: 1, to: 5) |> to_list
// -> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
range(from: 1, to: -2) |> to_list
// -> [1, 0, -1, -2]
range(from: 0, to: 0) |> to_list
// -> [0]
pub fn reduce(
over yielder: Yielder(a),
with f: fn(a, a) -> a,
) -> Result(a, Nil)
This function acts similar to fold, but does not take an initial state.
Instead, it starts from the first yielded element
and combines it with each subsequent element in turn using the given function.
The function is called as f(accumulator, current_element)
.
Returns Ok
to indicate a successful run, and Error
if called on an empty yielder.
Examples
from_list([])
|> reduce(fn(acc, x) { acc + x })
// -> Error(Nil)
from_list([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
|> reduce(fn(acc, x) { acc + x })
// -> Ok(15)
pub fn repeat(x: a) -> Yielder(a)

|> to_list
// -> [7, 7, 7]
pub fn run(yielder: Yielder(a)) -> Nil
Evaluates all elements emitted by the given yielder. This function is useful for when you wish to trigger any side effects that would occur when evaluating the yielder.
pub fn scan(
over yielder: Yielder(a),
from initial: b,
with f: fn(b, a) -> b,
) -> Yielder(b)
Creates an yielder from an existing yielder and a stateful function.
Specifically, this behaves like fold
, but yields intermediate results.
Examples
// Generate a sequence of partial sums
from_list([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
|> scan(from: 0, with: fn(acc, el) { acc + el })
|> to_list
// -> [1, 3, 6, 10, 15]
pub fn single(elem: a) -> Yielder(a)
Creates an yielder that yields the given element exactly once.
Examples
single(1) |> to_list
// -> [1]
pub fn sized_chunk(
over yielder: Yielder(a),
into count: Int,
) -> Yielder(List(a))
Creates an yielder that emits chunks of given size.
If the last chunk does not have count
elements, it is yielded
as a partial chunk, with less than count
elements.
For any count
less than 1 this function behaves as if it was set to 1.
Examples
from_list([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6])
|> sized_chunk(into: 2)
|> to_list
// -> [[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6]]
from_list([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8])
|> sized_chunk(into: 3)
|> to_list
// -> [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8]]
pub fn step(yielder: Yielder(a)) -> Step(a, Yielder(a))
Eagerly accesses the first value of an yielder, returning a Next
that contains the first value and the rest of the yielder.
If called on an empty yielder, Done
is returned.
Examples
let assert Next(first, rest) = from_list([1, 2, 3, 4]) |> step
first
// -> 1
rest |> to_list
// -> [2, 3, 4]
empty() |> step
// -> Done
pub fn take(
from yielder: Yielder(a),
up_to desired: Int,
) -> Yielder(a)
Creates an yielder that only yields the first desired
elements.
If the yielder does not have enough elements all of them are yielded.
Examples
from_list([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
|> take(up_to: 3)
|> to_list
// -> [1, 2, 3]
from_list([1, 2])
|> take(up_to: 3)
|> to_list
// -> [1, 2]
pub fn take_while(
in yielder: Yielder(a),
satisfying predicate: fn(a) -> Bool,
) -> Yielder(a)
Creates an yielder that yields elements while the predicate returns True
.
Examples
from_list([1, 2, 3, 2, 4])
|> take_while(satisfying: fn(x) { x < 3 })
|> to_list
// -> [1, 2]
pub fn to_list(yielder: Yielder(a)) -> List(a)
Evaluates an yielder and returns all the elements as a list.
If called on an yielder of infinite length then this function will never return.
Examples
from_list([1, 2, 3])
|> map(fn(x) { x * 2 })
|> to_list
// -> [2, 4, 6]
pub fn transform(
over yielder: Yielder(a),
from initial: b,
with f: fn(b, a) -> Step(c, b),
) -> Yielder(c)
Creates an yielder from an existing yielder and a stateful function that may short-circuit.
f
takes arguments acc
for current state and el
for current element from underlying yielder,
and returns either Next
with yielded element and new state value, or Done
to halt the yielder.
Examples
Approximate implementation of index
in terms of transform
:
from_list(["a", "b", "c"])
|> transform(0, fn(i, el) { Next(#(i, el), i + 1) })
|> to_list
// -> [#(0, "a"), #(1, "b"), #(2, "c")]
pub fn try_fold(
over yielder: Yielder(a),
from initial: b,
with f: fn(b, a) -> Result(b, c),
) -> Result(b, c)
A variant of fold that might fail.
The folding function should return Result(accumulator, error)
.
If the returned value is Ok(accumulator)
try_fold will try the next value in the yielder.
If the returned value is Error(error)
try_fold will stop and return that error.
Examples
from_list([1, 2, 3, 4])
|> try_fold(0, fn(acc, i) {
case i < 3 {
True -> Ok(acc + i)
False -> Error(Nil)
}
})
// -> Error(Nil)
pub fn unfold(
from initial: a,
with f: fn(a) -> Step(b, a),
) -> Yielder(b)
Creates an yielder from a given function and accumulator.
The function is called on the accumulator and returns either Done
,
indicating the yielder has no more elements, or Next
which contains a
new element and accumulator. The element is yielded by the yielder and the
new accumulator is used with the function to compute the next element in
the sequence.
Examples
unfold(from: 5, with: fn(n) {
case n {
0 -> Done
n -> Next(element: n, accumulator: n - 1)
}
})
|> to_list
// -> [5, 4, 3, 2, 1]
pub fn yield(element: a, next: fn() -> Yielder(a)) -> Yielder(a)
Add a new element to the start of an yielder.
This function is for use with use
expressions, to replicate the behaviour
of the yield
keyword found in other languages.
If you only need to prepend an element and don’t require the use
syntax,
use prepend
.
Examples
let yielder = {
use <- yield(1)
use <- yield(2)
use <- yield(3)
empty()
}
yielder |> to_list
// -> [1, 2, 3]
