# Classes

class (Monad m, MonadError MPDError m) => MonadMPD m where #

A typeclass to allow for multiple implementations of a connection to an MPD server.

Minimal complete definition

open, close, send, getPassword, setPassword, getVersion

Methods

open :: m () #

Open (or re-open) a connection to the MPD server.

close :: m () #

Close the connection.

send :: String -> m [ByteString] #

Send a string to the server and return its response.

getPassword :: m Password #

Produce a password to send to the server should it ask for one.

setPassword :: Password -> m () #

Alters password to be sent to the server.

getVersion :: m (Int, Int, Int) #

Get MPD protocol version

Instances

MonadMPD MPD # |
Methods open :: MPD () # close :: MPD () # send :: String -> MPD [ByteString] # getPassword :: MPD Password # setPassword :: Password -> MPD () # getVersion :: MPD (Int, Int, Int) #

# Data types

data MPD a #

The main implementation of an MPD client. It actually connects to a server and interacts with it.

To use the error throwing/catching capabilities:

    import Control.Monad.Error (throwError, catchError)

To run IO actions within the MPD monad:

    import Control.Monad.Trans (liftIO)

Instances

Monad MPD # |
Methods (>>=) :: MPD a -> (a -> MPD b) -> MPD b # (>>) :: MPD a -> MPD b -> MPD b # return :: a -> MPD a # fail :: String -> MPD a #
Functor MPD # |
Methods fmap :: (a -> b) -> MPD a -> MPD b # (<$) :: a -> MPD b -> MPD a #
Applicative MPD # |
Methods pure :: a -> MPD a # (<*>) :: MPD (a -> b) -> MPD a -> MPD b # liftA2 :: (a -> b -> c) -> MPD a -> MPD b -> MPD c # (*>) :: MPD a -> MPD b -> MPD b # (<*) :: MPD a -> MPD b -> MPD a #
MonadIO MPD # |
Methods liftIO :: IO a -> MPD a #
MonadMPD MPD # |
Methods open :: MPD () # close :: MPD () # send :: String -> MPD [ByteString] # getPassword :: MPD Password # setPassword :: Password -> MPD () # getVersion :: MPD (Int, Int, Int) #
MonadError MPDError MPD # |
Methods throwError :: MPDError -> MPD a # catchError :: MPD a -> (MPDError -> MPD a) -> MPD a #

data MPDError #

The MPDError type is used to signal errors, both from the MPD and otherwise.

Constructors

NoMPD | MPD not responding
ConnectionError IOException | An error occurred while talking to MPD.
Unexpected String | MPD returned an unexpected response. This is a bug, either in the library or in MPD itself.
Custom String | Used for misc. errors
ACK ACKType String | ACK type and a message from the server

Instances

Eq MPDError # |
Methods (==) :: MPDError -> MPDError -> Bool # (/=) :: MPDError -> MPDError -> Bool #
Show MPDError # |
Methods showsPrec :: Int -> MPDError -> ShowS # show :: MPDError -> String # showList :: [MPDError] -> ShowS #
Exception MPDError # |
Methods toException :: MPDError -> SomeException # fromException :: SomeException -> Maybe MPDError # displayException :: MPDError -> String #
Error MPDError # |
Methods noMsg :: MPDError # strMsg :: String -> MPDError #
MonadError MPDError MPD # |
Methods throwError :: MPDError -> MPD a # catchError :: MPD a -> (MPDError -> MPD a) -> MPD a #

data ACKType #

Represents various MPD errors (aka. ACKs).

Constructors

InvalidArgument | Invalid argument passed (ACK 2)
InvalidPassword | Invalid password supplied (ACK 3)
Auth | Authentication required (ACK 4)
UnknownCommand | Unknown command (ACK 5)
FileNotFound | File or directory not found ACK 50)
PlaylistMax | Playlist at maximum size (ACK 51)
System | A system error (ACK 52)
PlaylistLoad | Playlist loading failed (ACK 53)
Busy | Update already running (ACK 54)
NotPlaying | An operation requiring playback got interrupted (ACK 55)
FileExists | File already exists (ACK 56)
UnknownACK | An unknown ACK (aka. bug)

Instances

Eq ACKType # |
Methods (==) :: ACKType -> ACKType -> Bool # (/=) :: ACKType -> ACKType -> Bool #

type Response = Either MPDError #

A response is either an `MPDError` or some result.

type Host = String #

type Port = Integer #

type Password = String #

# Running

withMPDEx :: Host -> Port -> Password -> MPD a -> IO (Response a) #

The most configurable API for running an MPD action.

# Interacting

getResponse :: MonadMPD m => String -> m [ByteString] #

Send a command to the MPD server and return the result.

kill :: MonadMPD m => m () #

Kill the server. Obviously, the connection is then invalid.
