data FieldInput a b n =
FieldInput
{ inputState :: b -- ^ The state of the input field (what's rendered in the screen)
, inputValidator :: b -> Either ErrorMessage a -- ^ A validator function
, inputHelp :: HelpMessage -- ^ The input helpMessage
, inputRender :: Bool
-> ErrorStatus
-> HelpMessage
-> Label
-> b
-> (Widget n -> Widget n)
-> (Widget n, Maybe (Widget n)) -- ^ How to draw the input and optionally an overlay, with focus a help message and input.
-- A extension function can be applied too
, inputHandler :: BrickEvent n () -> EventM n b () -- ^ The handler
}
makeLensesFor
[ ("inputState", "inputStateL")
, ("inputValidator", "inputValidatorL")
, ("inputName", "inputNameL")
, ("inputHelp", "inputHelpL")
]
''FieldInput
-- | The MenuField is an existential type which stores a Lens' to a part of the Menu state.
-- In also contains a Field input which internal state is hidden
data MenuField s n where
MenuField ::
{ fieldAccesor :: Lens' s a -- ^ A Lens pointing to some part of the state
, fieldInput :: FieldInput a b n -- ^ The input which modifies the state
, fieldLabel :: Label -- ^ The label
, fieldStatus :: ErrorStatus -- ^ Whether the current is valid or not.
, fieldName :: n
} -> MenuField s n
isValidField :: MenuField s n -> Bool
isValidField = (== Valid) . fieldStatus
makeLensesFor
[ ("fieldLabel", "fieldLabelL")
, ("fieldStatus", "fieldStatusL")
]
''MenuField

These types must go. It's impossible to derive or write a lens for fieldInput.
