一、Arrow核心组件:从入门到精通
1. Option:告别空指针的终极武器
传统判空方式的局限:
// 多层嵌套判空导致可读性差
fun getDepartmentName(company: Company?): String? {
return company?.ceo?.assistant?.department?.name
}
// 可能抛出空指针异常
val length = getDepartmentName(company)!!.length
Option的链式操作:
import arrow.core.Option
import arrow.core.flatMap
data class Department(val name: String)
data class Employee(val department: Option<Department>)
data class Company(val ceo: Option<Employee>)
// 安全的多层级访问
fun getDepartmentName(company: Option<Company>): Option<String> {
return company.flatMap { it.ceo }
.flatMap { it.department }
.map { it.name }
}
// 使用示例
val company: Option<Company> = Option.fromNullable(getCompany())
val result: String = getDepartmentName(company)
.getOrElse { "Default Department" }
高级操作:模式匹配:
fun printDepartment(company: Option<Company>) {
when(company) {
is Some -> {
val name = getDepartmentName(company)
println("Department: ${name.getOrNull()}")
}
is None -> println("Company not found")
}
}
2. Either:错误处理的类型安全革命
传统错误处理的痛点:
// 错误信息丢失,无法区分错误类型
fun parseUser(json: String): User? {
return try {
Gson().fromJson(json, User::class.java)
} catch (e: Exception) {
Log.e("Parser", "Error parsing user")
null
}
}
Either的进阶应用:
sealed interface UserError {
data class InvalidJson(val raw: String) : UserError
data class MissingField(val field: String) : UserError
data class ValidationError(val message: String) : UserError
}
fun parseUser(json: String): Either<UserError, User> = Either.catch {
Gson().fromJson(json, User::class.java)
}.mapLeft { UserError.InvalidJson(json) }
.flatMap { validateUser(it) }
private fun validateUser(user: User): Either<UserError, User> {
return when {
user.name.isBlank() -> UserError.MissingField("name").left()
user.age < 18 -> UserError.ValidationError("Underage").left()
else -> user.right()
}
}
// 组合多个Either操作
fun processUser(json: String): Either<UserError, ProcessedUser> {
return parseUser(json)
.flatMap { encryptUser(it) }
.flatMap { saveToDatabase(it) }
}
// 在ViewModel中使用
viewModelScope.launch {
when(val result = processUser(json)) {
is Either.Left -> handleError(result.value)
is Either.Right -> updateUI(result.value)
}
}
3. IO Monad:副作用管理的艺术
传统异步代码的问题:
// 回调地狱示例
fun fetchData() {
api.getUser { user ->
if (user != null) {
api.getProfile(user.id) { profile ->
if (profile != null) {
saveToDB(profile) { success ->
if (success) {
updateUI()
} else {
showError("Save failed")
}
}
} else {
showError("Profile missing")
}
}
} else {
showError("User not found")
}
}
}
IO Monad的声明式解决方案:
import arrow.fx.coroutines.IO
import arrow.fx.coroutines.parZip
// 定义纯IO操作
fun getUserIO(): IO<User> = IO { api.getUser() }
fun getProfileIO(user: User): IO<Profile> = IO { api.getProfile(user.id) }
fun saveProfileIO(profile: Profile): IO<Boolean> = IO { db.save(profile) }
// 组合IO操作
val workflow: IO<Unit> = IO.fx {
// 顺序执行
val user = !getUserIO().handleErrorWith { IO.raiseError("User fetch failed") }
// 并行执行
val (profile, preferences) = !parZip(
getProfileIO(user),
getPreferencesIO(user.id)
) { profile, pref -> Pair(profile, pref) }
// 条件处理
val saveResult = !if (profile.isValid) {
saveProfileIO(profile)
} else {
IO.raiseError("Invalid profile")
}
// 资源安全
!resourceScope {
val file = !IO { File("temp.txt") }
!IO { file.writeText(profile.toString) }
.ensuring(IO { file.delete() }) // 确保资源清理
}
// 重试逻辑
val finalData = !fetchDataWithRetry(
retries = 3,
delay = Duration.seconds(1)
)
}
// 执行IO
viewModelScope.launch {
workflow.attempt().unsafeRunSync().fold(
ifLeft = { showError(it) },
ifRight = { showSuccess() }
)
}
二、Android实战:电商应用完整流程
1. 商品详情页场景
- 获取缓存数据
- 验证用户权限
- 发起支付
- 更新订单状态
// 领域模型
data class ProductDetail(
val id: String,
val price: Double,
val inventory: Int
)
data class PaymentResult(
val transactionId: String,
val timestamp: Instant
)
// 错误体系
sealed class CommerceError {
data class CacheError(val cause: Throwable) : CommerceError()
data class PaymentError(val code: Int) : CommerceError()
data class InventoryError(val available: Int) : CommerceError()
object Unauthorized : CommerceError()
}
// 业务逻辑实现
class CommerceRepository(
private val cache: LocalCache,
private val api: CommerceApi,
private val auth: AuthService
) {
fun purchaseProduct(productId: String): IO<Either<CommerceError, PaymentResult>> = IO.fx {
// 步骤1:检查用户权限
val isAuthorized = !IO { auth.checkPurchasePermission() }
if (!isAuthorized) raiseError(CommerceError.Unauthorized)
// 步骤2:获取商品数据
val product = !cache.getProduct(productId)
.attempt()
.mapLeft { CommerceError.CacheError(it) }
.flatMap { it.toEither { CommerceError.CacheError(NoSuchElementException()) } }
// 步骤3:检查库存
if (product.inventory < 1) {
raiseError(CommerceError.InventoryError(product.inventory))
}
// 步骤4:发起支付
val paymentResult = !api.processPayment(product.price)
.attempt()
.mapLeft { CommerceError.PaymentError(it.code) }
// 步骤5:更新本地缓存
!cache.updateInventory(productId, -1)
.handleError { /* 记录日志但继续流程 */ }
paymentResult
}.handleErrorWith { error ->
// 全局错误处理
IO.raiseError(error)
.handleError { CommerceError.PaymentError(500) }
}
}
// ViewModel集成示例
class CommerceViewModel : ViewModel() {
private val _state = MutableStateFlow<CommerceState>(Loading)
val state: StateFlow<CommerceState> = _state
fun purchase(productId: String) {
repository.purchaseProduct(productId)
.unsafeRunScoped(viewModelScope) { result ->
result.fold(
ifLeft = { error ->
_state.value = when(error) {
is CommerceError.Unauthorized -> NeedLogin
is CommerceError.InventoryError -> OutOfStock(error.available)
else -> GenericError
}
},
ifRight = { payment ->
_state.value = PurchaseSuccess(payment)
}
)
}
}
}
三、高级技巧:提升代码质量
1. 验证器组合
// 验证器类型别名
typealias Validator<T> = (T) -> Either<ValidationError, T>
// 基础验证器
fun nonEmptyString(field: String): Validator<String> = { value ->
if (value.isBlank()) ValidationError.EmptyField(field).left()
else value.right()
}
fun validEmail(): Validator<String> = { email ->
if (Regex("^\\S+@\\S+\\.\\S+$").matches(email)) email.right()
else ValidationError.InvalidEmail(email).left()
}
// 组合验证器
fun validateUserForm(
name: String,
email: String
): Either<ValidationError, ValidUser> {
return zip(
nonEmptyString("name")(name),
nonEmptyString("email")(email).flatMap(validEmail())
) { validName, validEmail ->
ValidUser(validName, validEmail)
}
}
// 使用示例
val userResult = validateUserForm("", "invalid@email")
userResult.fold(
ifLeft = { showError(it) },
ifRight = { proceed(it) }
)
2. 资源安全管理
fun processFile(path: String): IO<Unit> = IO.resource({
FileInputStream(path) // 获取资源
}) { fis ->
fis.close() // 释放资源
}.use { fis ->
IO {
val content = fis.readBytes().toString()
// 处理内容...
println("Processed ${content.length} bytes")
}
}
四、性能优化与调试
1. 异步操作跟踪
val trackedIO = workflow
.handleErrorWith { e ->
IO.raiseError(e)
.traced("CheckoutFlow") // 添加跟踪标记
}
// 输出调试信息
trackedIO.unsafeRunSync() // 输出: [CheckoutFlow] Started
// [CheckoutFlow] Completed
2. 并行操作优化
val combinedData: IO<Pair<User, List<Product>>> = parZip(
getUserIO().retry(Schedule.recurs(3)), // 最多重试3次
getProductsIO().timeout(Duration.seconds(5)), // 5秒超时
::Pair
) { user, products ->
user to products
}
五、集成到现有项目
1. 渐进式迁移策略
从工具类开始:
// 传统工具类 object StringUtils { fun parseToInt(s: String): Int? = try { s.toInt() } catch (e: Exception) { null } } // 转换为Either版本 fun parseToIntEither(s: String): Either<ParseError, Int> = Either.catch { s.toInt() }.mapLeft { ParseError.NumberFormat(s) }
网络层改造:
interface ApiService { // 传统方式 @GET("users/{id}") suspend fun getUser(@Path("id") id: String): User // Either版本 @GET("users/{id}") suspend fun getUserEither(@Path("id") id: String): Either<ApiError, User> }
2. 与Android架构组件整合
@HiltViewModel
class ProductViewModel @Inject constructor(
private val repository: CommerceRepository
) : ViewModel() {
private val _state = MutableStateFlow<ProductState>(Loading)
val state: StateFlow<ProductState> = _state
fun loadProduct(id: String) {
repository.getProductDetails(id)
.unsafeRunScoped(viewModelScope) { result ->
result.fold(
ifLeft = { error ->
_state.value = when(error) {
is CommerceError.CacheError -> ErrorState("Local data error")
is CommerceError.Unauthorized -> NeedLoginState
// ...其他错误处理
}
},
ifRight = { data ->
_state.value = ProductLoaded(data)
}
)
}
}
}
