Haskell transfer between monadic functions

Feel I am never going to fully grasp Haskell now. Two functions: one that counts records in a SQlite DB, so it can produce incremental IDs (checkUniqueID). The other one to make the records, calling on checkUniqueID. I just need the value over to taskEntry as an Int. I guess I am missing the knowledge to stay in the monadic realm. Code below.



-- checkUniqueID :: IO ()
checkUniqueID = do
conn <- open "taglist.db"
len <- query_ conn "SELECT (id) FROM task" :: IO [Only Int]
let showLength = Data.List.length $ len
close conn
return (showLength + 1) -- for testing purposes

-- fieldnames: id, task, date_in, date_out
taskEntry :: IO ()
taskEntry = do
putStrLn "Provide task and date due: "
let taskIDInt = checkUniqueID -- issue here!
task <- getLine
date_out <- getLine
let date_in = "today"
conn <- open "taglist.db"
execute conn "INSERT INTO task (id, task, date_in, date_out) VALUES (?,?,?,?)"
(taskIDInt :: Int , task :: String , date_in :: String , date_out :: String)
close conn
return ()

    for starters, the type should probably be checkUniqueID :: IO Int - you actually want to return something of type Int, besides executing an IO action. Then: taskIDInt <- checkUniqueID, because checkUniqueID is in IO.

First, checkUniqueID returns an Int, so its type should be IO Int, not IO ():



checkUniqueID :: IO Int


Second, within the do notation, the left arrow <- is what binds result of a monadic function to a name. You're already using it with getLine, so I'm not entirely sure why you would fail to use it with checkUniqueID as well:



taskIDInt <- checkUniqueID

  • I am not failing with your suggestion. I have a hard time seeing the forrest through the trees. You put me on the right track and it works! Sorry for this... Sometimes I feel a bit stupid trying monoids, applicatives, functors etc while the only thing I need to do is a simple bind of two monadic functions! Thanks
