-- Module for storing custom mutable state in xmonad.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
module XMonad.Util.ExtensibleState (
-- * Usage
-- $usage
putState
, modifyState
, removeState
, getState
) where
import Data.Typeable (typeOf,Typeable,cast)
import qualified Data.Map as M
import XMonad.Core
import Control.Monad.State
-- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
-- $usage
--
-- To utilize this feature in a contrib module create a data type,
-- and make it an instance of ExtensionClass. You can then use
-- the functions from this module for storing your data:
--
-- > {-# LANGUAGE DeriveDataTypeable #-}
-- >
-- > data ListStorage = ListStorage [Integer] deriving Typeable
-- > instance ExtensionClass ListStorage where
-- > initialValue = ListStorage []
-- >
-- > .. putState (ListStorage [23,42])
--
-- To retrieve the stored data call:
--
-- > .. getState
--
-- If the type can't be infered from the usage of the retrieved data, you
-- might need to add an explicit type signature:
--
-- > .. getState :: X ListStorage
--
-- To make your data persistent between restarts, the data type needs to be
-- an instance of Read and Show and the instance declaration has to be changed:
--
-- > data ListStorage = ListStorage [Integer] deriving (Typeable,Read,Show)
-- >
-- > instance ExtensionClass ListStorage where
-- > initialValue = ListStorage []
-- > extensionType = PersistentExtension
--
-- One should take care that the string representation of the chosen type
-- is unique among the stored values, otherwise it will be overwritten.
-- Normally these values contain fully qualified module names when deriving Typeable, so
-- name collisions should not be a problem in most cases.
-- A module should not try to store common datatypes(e.g. a list of Integers)
-- without a custom data type as a wrapper to avoid those collisions.
--

modifyStateExts :: (M.Map String (Either String StateExtension)

modifyStateExts f = modify $ \st -> st { extensibleState = f (extensibleState st) }

-- is none.

-- | Add a value to the extensible state field. A previously stored value with the same
-- type will be overwritten. (More precisely: A value whose string representation of its type
-- is equal to the new one's)
