refined: simple refinement types for Scala

refined is a Scala library for refining types with type-level predicates which constrain the set of values described by the refined type. It started as a port of the refined Haskell library by Nikita Volkov (which also provides an excellent motivation why this kind of library is useful). The idea of expressing constraints at the type-level as Scala library was first explored by Flavio W. Brasil in bond.

A quick example:

import eu.timepit.refined._
import eu.timepit.refined.api.Refined
import eu.timepit.refined.auto._
import eu.timepit.refined.numeric._

// This refines Int with the Positive predicate and checks via an
// implicit macro that the assigned value satisfies it:
scala> val i1: Int Refined Positive = 5
i1: Int Refined Positive = 5

// If the value does not satisfy the predicate, we get a meaningful
// compile error:
scala> val i2: Int Refined Positive = -5
<console>:22: error: Predicate failed: (-5 > 0).
       val i2: Int Refined Positive = -5
                                       ^

// There is also the explicit refineMV macro that can infer the base
// type from its parameter:
scala> refineMV[Positive](5)
res0: Int Refined Positive = 5

// Macros can only validate literals because their values are known at
// compile-time. To validate arbitrary (runtime) values we can use the
// refineV function:

scala> val x = 42 // suppose the value of x is not known at compile-time

scala> refineV[Positive](x)
res1: Either[String, Int Refined Positive] = Right(42)

scala> refineV[Positive](-x)
res2: Either[String, Int Refined Positive] = Left(Predicate failed: (-42 > 0).)

refined also contains inference rules for converting between different refined types. For example, Int Refined Greater[W.`10`.T] can be safely converted to Int Refined Positive because all integers greater than ten are also positive. The type conversion of refined types is a compile-time operation that is provided by the library:

scala> val a: Int Refined Greater[W.`5`.T] = 10
a: Int Refined Greater[Int(5)] = 10

// Since every value greater than 5 is also greater than 4, `a` can be
// ascribed the type Int Refined Greater[W.`4`.T]:
scala> val b: Int Refined Greater[W.`4`.T] = a
b: Int Refined Greater[Int(4)] = 10

// An unsound ascription leads to a compile error:
scala> val c: Int Refined Greater[W.`6`.T] = a
<console>:23: error: type mismatch (invalid inference):
 Greater[Int(5)] does not imply
 Greater[Int(6)]
       val c: Int Refined Greater[W.`6`.T] = a
                                             ^

This mechanism allows to pass values of more specific types (e.g. Int Refined Greater[W.`10`.T]) to functions that take a more general type (e.g. Int Refined Positive) without manual intervention.

Note that W is a shortcut for shapeless.Witness which provides syntax for literal-based singleton types.

       val u1: String Refined Url = "htp://example.com"
                                    ^

// Here we define a refined type "Int with the predicate (7 <= value < 77)".
scala> type Age = Int Refined Interval.ClosedOpen[W.`7`.T, W.`77`.T]

scala> val userInput = 55

// We can refine values with this refined type by either using `refineV`
// with an explicit return type
scala> val ageEither1: Either[String, Age] = refineV(userInput)
ageEither1: Either[String,Age] = Right(55)

// or by using `RefType.applyRef` with the refined type as type parameter.
scala> val ageEither2 = RefType.applyRef[Age](userInput)
ageEither2: Either[String,Age] = Right(55)

Using refined

The latest version of the library is 0.9.18, which is available for Scala and Scala.js version 2.12 and 2.13.
