Trait Bind 

pub trait Bind<'a, A> {
    type Target<T>;

    // Required method
    fn bind<B, F>(self, f: F) -> Self::Target<B>
       where F: Fn(A) -> Self::Target<B> + 'a;
}

Bind lets you chain computations together.

It takes a function Fn(A) -> M<B> and applies it to the A inside M<A>. You can think of this as a callback function for when the value of A is ready to be processed, returning the next computation in the sequence.

This is the primary component of the dreaded Monad trait, but to be a Monad a type must also implement Applicative, which in turn requires implementations for Functor, Pure and Apply.

Required Associated Types

type Target<T>

Required Methods

fn bind<B, F>(self, f: F) -> Self::Target<B>

where F: Fn(A) -> Self::Target<B> + 'a,

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety".
