data structure for assembling components.
This library provides a Registry which is a data structure containing a list of functions and values representing dependencies in a directed acyclic graph. A make function can then be used to create a value of a specific type out of the registry. You can start with the README for a full description of the library.
Registry 
It's functions all the way down
Presentation
This library provides a data structure, a "Registry", to control the creation of functions from other functions. You can use this technique to:
- create applications out of software components ("dependency injection")
- fine tune encoders/decoders (see the
registry-aesonand theregistry-messagepackprojects) - create composable data generators for nested datatypes (see the
registry-hedgehogand theregistry-hedgehog-aesonprojects)
You can watch a video presenting the main ideas behind the library here.
The following sections introduce in more details the problem that this library is addressing, the concepts behind the solution and various use-cases which can arise on real projects:
- what is the problem?
- the concept of a Registry and the resolution algorithm
- how does this compare to monad transformers and effects?
