Common monad combinators and sequencing operations.


## Example

```js
( ... )
```


## Installing

The easiest way is to grab it from NPM. If you're running in a Browser
environment, you can use [Browserify][]

    $ npm install control.monads


### Using with CommonJS

If you're not using NPM, [Download the latest release][release], and require
the `control.monads.umd.js` file:

```js
var Monads = require('control.monads')
```


### Using with AMD

[Download the latest release][release], and require the `control.monads.umd.js`
file:

```js
require(['control.monads'], function(Monads) {
  ( ... )
})
```


### Using without modules

[Download the latest release][release], and load the `control.monads.umd.js`
file. The properties are exposed in the global `Monads` object:

```html
<script src="/path/to/control.monads.umd.js"></script>
```


### Compiling from source

If you want to compile this library from the source, you'll need [Git][],
[Make][], [Node.js][], and run the following commands:

    $ git clone git://github.com/folktale/control.monads.git
    $ cd control.monads
    $ npm install
    $ make bundle
    
This will generate the `dist/control.monads.umd.js` file, which you can load in
any JavaScript environment.

    
## Documentation

You can [read the documentation online][docs] or build it yourself:

    $ git clone git://github.com/folktale/monads.maybe.git
    $ cd monads.maybe
    $ npm install
    $ make documentation

Then open the file `docs/index.html` in your browser.


## Platform support

This library assumes an ES5 environment, but can be easily supported in ES3
platforms by the use of shims. Just include [es5-shim][] :)
