result

Functional utilities for success | error types.

Overview

The types Ok<T> and Err<T> are expressed as plain objects, no wrapper classes are involved - you can act upon the raw objects however you wish and build your own functions around them:

import type { Result, Ok, Err } from "@monstermann/result";
import { ok, err } from "@monstermann/result";

const a = ok(true);
const b: Ok<boolean> = { ok: true, value: true };

const c = err(false);
const d: Err<boolean> = { ok: false, error: false };

const e: Result<boolean, string> = { ok: true, value: true };
// Narrowed to Ok<boolean>
if (e.ok) console.log(e.value);
// Narrowed to Err<string>
if (!e.ok) console.log(e.error);

Async

Asynchronous results are simply expressed as Promise<Ok<T>> and Promise<Err<T>> and typically require no special constructors (eg. async (v) => ok(v) is enough).

import { ResultAsync, ok } from "@monstermann/result";

const a = ok(5); // Ok<number>(5)
const b = ResultAsync.map(a, (x) => x * 2); // OkAsync<number>(10)
const c = ResultAsync.map(b, (x) => x * 2); // OkAsync<number>(20)

Pipe

Most functions come with "data-first" and "data-last" signatures, meaning they are pipe friendly:

import { Result, ok } from "@monstermann/result"

Result.map(
    ok(5),
    (x) => x * 2
);
// Ok<number>

Result.map(
    err("fail"),
    (x) => x * 2
);
// Err<string>

import { Result, ok } from "@monstermann/result"

pipe(
    ok(5),
    Result.map((x) => x * 2),
);
// Ok<number>

pipe(
    err("fail"),
    Result.map((x) => x * 2),
);
// Err<string>

Alternatives

Result

all

function Result.all(results: Result<T, E>[]): Result<T[], E>

Combines multiple results into a single result. If all results are Ok, returns an Ok containing an array of all values. If any result is an Err, returns the first Err encountered.

Example

Result.all([ok(1), ok(2), ok(3)]);
// Ok<number[]>([1, 2, 3])

Result.all([ok(1), err("fail"), ok(3)]);
// Err<string>("fail")

and

function Result.and(
    a: Result<T, E>,
    b: Result<U, F>
): Result<U, E | F>

Performs a logical AND operation on two results. Returns b if a is Ok, otherwise returns a (which must be an Err).

Example

Result.and(ok(1), ok("success"));
// Ok<string>("success")

Result.and(err("fail"), ok("success"));
// Err<string>("fail")

Result.and(ok(1), err("fail"));
// Err<string>("fail")

pipe(ok(1), Result.and(ok("success")));
// Ok<string>("success")

andThen

function Result.andThen(
    result: Result<T, E>,
    transform: (value: T) => Result<U, F>
): Result<U, E | F>

Chains Result-returning operations. If the result is Ok, applies the transform function to its value. If the result is Err, returns the Err unchanged.

Example

Result.andThen(ok(5), (x) => ok(x * 2));
// Ok<number>

Result.andThen(err("fail"), (x) => ok(x * 2));
// Err<string>

pipe(
    ok(5),
    Result.andThen((x) => ok(x * 2)),
);
// Ok<number>

any

function Result.any(results: Result<T, E>[]): Result<T, E[]>

Returns the first Ok result from the array of results, or an Err containing an array of all errors if all results are Err.

Example

Result.any([ok(1), err("fail"), ok(3)]);
// Ok<number>(1)

Result.any([err("fail1"), err("fail2"), err("fail3")]);
// Err<string[]>(["fail1", "fail2", "fail3"])

attempt

function Result.attempt(unsafeFn: () => T): Result<T, unknown>

Wraps a function that may throw an exception in a Result. If the unsafeFn executes successfully, returns its result wrapped in Ok. If it throws an error, returns the error wrapped in Err.

Example

Result.attempt(() => 5);
// Ok<number>(5)

Result.attempt(() => {
    throw new Error("Something went wrong");
});
// Err<Error>(Error: Something went wrong)

Result.attempt(() => JSON.parse('{"valid": true}'));
// Ok<object>({valid: true})

attemptOr

function Result.attemptOr(unsafeFn: () => T, or: E): Result<T, E>

Wraps a function that may throw an exception in a Result, using a specific error value. If the unsafeFn executes successfully, returns its result wrapped in Ok. If it throws an error, returns the or value wrapped in Err.

Example

Result.attemptOr(() => 5, "default error");
// Ok<number>(5)

Result.attemptOr(() => {
    throw new Error("Something went wrong");
}, "default error");
// Err<string>("default error")

Result.attemptOr(() => JSON.parse("invalid json"), "parse failed");
// Err<string>("parse failed")

attemptOrElse

function Result.attemptOrElse(
    unsafeFn: () => T,
    orElse: (error: unknown) => E
): Result<T, E>

Wraps a function that may throw an exception in a Result, transforming any caught error. If the unsafeFn executes successfully, returns its result wrapped in Ok. If it throws an error, transforms the error using orElse and returns it wrapped in Err.

Example

Result.attemptOrElse(
    () => 5,
    (e) => `Error: ${e}`,
);
// Ok<number>(5)

Result.attemptOrElse(
    () => {
        throw new Error("Something went wrong");
    },
    (e) => `Caught: ${e.message}`,
);
// Err<string>("Caught: Something went wrong")

Result.attemptOrElse(
    () => JSON.parse("invalid json"),
    (e) => new Error("Failed to parse json", { cause: e }),
);
// Err<Error>(new Error("Failed to parse json", { cause: e }))

expect

function Result.expect(result: Result<T, E>, message: string): T

Unwraps the Ok value from the result. If the result is an Err, throws a ResultError with the given message.

Example

Result.expect(ok(5), "Expected a value");
// 5

Result.expect(err("fail"), "Expected a value");
// throws ResultError("Expected a value")

pipe(ok(5), Result.expect("Expected a value"));
// 5

expectErr

function Result.expectErr(result: Result<T, E>, message: string): E

Unwraps the Err value from the result. If the result is an Ok, throws a ResultError with the given message.

Example

Result.expectErr(err("fail"), "Expected an error");
// "fail"

Result.expectErr(ok(5), "Expected an error");
// throws ResultError("Expected an error")

pipe(err("fail"), Result.expectErr("Expected an error"));
// "fail"

filter

function Result.filter(
    result: Result<T, E>,
    predicate: (value: T) => boolean
): Result<T, E | void>

Filters the Ok value using the predicate function. If the result is Ok and the predicate returns true, returns the original result. If the predicate returns false, returns an Err with void. If the result is already an Err, returns it unchanged.

Can be used for type narrowing.

Example

Result.filter(ok(5), (x) => x > 3);
// Ok<number>(5)

Result.filter(ok(1), (x) => x > 3);
// Err<void>

Result.filter(err("fail"), (x) => x > 3);
// Err<string>("fail")

pipe(
    ok(5),
    Result.filter((x) => x > 3),
);
// Ok<number>(5)

filterOr

function Result.filterOr(
    result: Result<T, E>,
    predicate: (value: T) => boolean,
    or: F
): Result<T, E | F>

Filters the Ok value using the predicate function. If the result is Ok and the predicate returns true, returns the original result. If the predicate returns false, returns an Err with the or value. If the result is already an Err, returns it unchanged.

Can be used for type narrowing.

Example

Result.filterOr(ok(5), (x) => x > 3, "too small");
// Ok<number>(5)

Result.filterOr(ok(1), (x) => x > 3, "too small");
// Err<string>("too small")

Result.filterOr(err("fail"), (x) => x > 3, "too small");
// Err<string>("fail")

pipe(
    ok(1),
    Result.filterOr((x) => x > 3, "too small"),
);
// Err<string>("too small")

filterOrElse

function Result.filterOrElse(
    result: Result<T, E>,
    predicate: (value: T) => boolean,
    orElse: (value: T) => F
): Result<T, E | F>

Filters the Ok value using the predicate function. If the result is Ok and the predicate returns true, returns the original result. If the predicate returns false, calls orElse with the Ok value and returns an Err with the result. If the result is already an Err, returns it unchanged.

Can be used for type narrowing.

Example

Result.filterOrElse(
    ok(5),
    (x) => x > 3,
    (x) => `${x} is too small`,
);
// Ok<number>(5)

Result.filterOrElse(
    ok(1),
    (x) => x > 3,
    (x) => `${x} is too small`,
);
// Err<string>("1 is too small")

Result.filterOrElse(
    err("fail"),
    (x) => x > 3,
    (x) => `${x} is too small`,
);
// Err<string>("fail")

pipe(
    ok(1),
    Result.filterOrElse(
        (x) => x > 3,
        (x) => `${x} is too small`,
    ),
);
// Err<string>("1 is too small")

flip

function Result.flip(result: Result<T, E>): Result<E, T>

Swaps the Ok and Err values of the result. An Ok becomes an Err and an Err becomes an Ok.

Example

Result.flip(ok(5));
// Err<number>(5)

Result.flip(err("fail"));
// Ok<string>("fail")

pipe(ok(5), Result.flip());
// Err<number>(5)

inspect

function Result.inspect(
    result: Result<T, E>,
    inspect: (value: T) => void
): Result<T, E>

Inspects the Ok value using the inspect function without changing the result. If the result is Ok, calls the inspect function with the value and returns the original result unchanged. If the result is an Err, returns it unchanged without calling inspect.

Example

Result.inspect(ok(5), (x) => console.log(`Value: ${x}`));
// Ok<number>(5) - logs "Value: 5"

Result.inspect(err("fail"), (x) => console.log(`Value: ${x}`));
// Err<string>("fail") - no log

pipe(
    ok(5),
    Result.inspect((x) => console.log(`Value: ${x}`)),
);
// Ok<number>(5) - logs "Value: 5"

inspectErr

function Result.inspectErr(
    result: Result<T, E>,
    inspect: (error: E) => void
): Result<T, E>

Inspects the Err value using the inspect function without changing the result. If the result is an Err, calls the inspect function with the error value and returns the original result unchanged. If the result is Ok, returns it unchanged without calling inspect.

Example

Result.inspectErr(err("fail"), (e) => console.log(`Error: ${e}`));
// Err<string>("fail") - logs "Error: fail"

Result.inspectErr(ok(5), (e) => console.log(`Error: ${e}`));
// Ok<number>(5) - no log

pipe(
    err("fail"),
    Result.inspectErr((e) => console.log(`Error: ${e}`)),
);
// Err<string>("fail") - logs "Error: fail"

map

function Result.map(
    result: Result<T, E>,
    transform: (value: T) => U
): Result<U, E>

Transforms the value inside an Ok result using the transform function. If the result is an Err, it returns the Err unchanged.

Example

Result.map(ok(5), (x) => x * 2);
// Ok<number>

Result.map(err("fail"), (x) => x * 2);
// Err<string>

pipe(
    ok(5),
    Result.map((x) => x * 2),
);
// Ok<number>

mapErr

function Result.mapErr(
    result: Result<T, E>,
    transform: (error: E) => F
): Result<T, F>

Transforms the Err value using the transform function. If the result is an Err, applies the transform function to the error value and returns a new Err. If the result is Ok, returns it unchanged.

Example

Result.mapErr(err("fail"), (e) => `Error: ${e}`);
// Err<string>("Error: fail")

Result.mapErr(ok(5), (e) => `Error: ${e}`);
// Ok<number>(5)

pipe(
    err("fail"),
    Result.mapErr((e) => `Error: ${e}`),
);
// Err<string>("Error: fail")

mapOr

function Result.mapOr(
    result: Result<T, E>,
    transform: (value: T) => U,
    fallback: F
): U | F

Unwraps the Ok value using the transform function, or returns the fallback value if the result is an Err.

Example

Result.mapOr(ok(5), (x) => x * 2, 0);
// 10

Result.mapOr(err("fail"), (x) => x * 2, 0);
// 0

pipe(
    ok(5),
    Result.mapOr((x) => x * 2, 0),
);
// 10

mapOrElse

function Result.mapOrElse(
    result: Result<T, E>,
    transform: (value: T) => U,
    orElse: (error: E) => F
): U | F

Unwraps the Ok value using the transform function, or transforms the Err value using the orElse function.

Example

Result.mapOrElse(
    ok(5),
    (x) => x * 2,
    (e) => `Error: ${e}`,
);
// 10

Result.mapOrElse(
    err("fail"),
    (x) => x * 2,
    (e) => `Error: ${e}`,
);
// "Error: fail"

pipe(
    ok(5),
    Result.mapOrElse(
        (x) => x * 2,
        (e) => `Error: ${e}`,
    ),
);
// 10

match

function Result.match(result: Result<T, E>, patterns: {
    Ok: (value: T) => A
    Err: (error: E) => B
}): A | B

Pattern matches on the result using the provided patterns object. Calls the Ok function if the result is Ok, or the Err function if the result is an Err.

Example

Result.match(ok(5), {
    Ok: (x) => `Value: ${x}`,
    Err: (e) => `Error: ${e}`,
});
// "Value: 5"

Result.match(err("fail"), {
    Ok: (x) => `Value: ${x}`,
    Err: (e) => `Error: ${e}`,
});
// "Error: fail"

pipe(
    ok(5),
    Result.match({
        Ok: (x) => `Value: ${x}`,
        Err: (e) => `Error: ${e}`,
    }),
);
// "Value: 5"

or

function Result.or(
    a: Result<T, E>,
    b: Result<U, F>
): Result<T | U, F>

Performs a logical OR operation on two results. Returns a if it's Ok, otherwise returns b.

Example

Result.or(ok(1), ok(2));
// Ok<number>(1)

Result.or(err("fail"), ok(2));
// Ok<number>(2)

Result.or(err("fail1"), err("fail2"));
// Err<string>("fail2")

pipe(err("fail"), Result.or(ok(2)));
// Ok<number>(2)

orElse

function Result.orElse(
    result: Result<T, E>,
    transform: (error: E) => Result<U, F>
): Result<T | U, F>

Uses a fallback result computed by transform if the current result is an Err. If the result is Ok, returns it unchanged. If the result is an Err, calls transform with the error value to produce an alternative result.

Example

Result.orElse(ok(5), (e) => ok(0));
// Ok<number>(5)

Result.orElse(err("fail"), (e) => ok(0));
// Ok<number>(0)

Result.orElse(err("fail"), (e) => err(`Handled: ${e}`));
// Err<string>("Handled: fail")

pipe(
    err("fail"),
    Result.orElse((e) => ok(0)),
);
// Ok<number>(0)

unwrap

function Result.unwrap(result: Result<T, E>): T

Unwraps the Ok value from the result. If the result is an Err, throws a ResultError with a default message.

Example

Result.unwrap(ok(5));
// 5

Result.unwrap(err("fail"));
// throws ResultError("Called Err.unwrap()")

pipe(ok(5), Result.unwrap());
// 5

unwrapErr

function Result.unwrapErr(result: Result<T, E>): E

Unwraps the Err value from the result. If the result is an Ok, throws a ResultError with a default message.

// "fail"

Result.unwrapErr(ok(5));
// throws ResultError("Called Ok.unwrapErr()")

pipe(err("fail"), Result.unwrapErr());
// "fail"

unwrapOr

function Result.unwrapOr(result: Result<T, E>, or: U): T | U

Unwraps the Ok value from the result, or returns the or value if the result is an Err.

Example

Result.unwrapOr(ok(5), 0);
// 5

Result.unwrapOr(err("fail"), 0);
// 0

pipe(err("fail"), Result.unwrapOr(0));
// 0

unwrapOrElse

function Result.unwrapOrElse(
    result: Result<T, E>,
    orElse: (error: E) => U
): T | U

Unwraps the Ok value from the result, or computes a fallback value using orElse if the result is an Err.

Example

Result.unwrapOrElse(ok(5), (e) => 0);
// 5

Result.unwrapOrElse(err("fail"), (e) => `Default for ${e}`);
// "Default for fail"

pipe(
    err("fail"),
    Result.unwrapOrElse((e) => `Default for ${e}`),
);
// "Default for fail"

ResultAsync

all

function ResultAsync.all(results: AwaitableResult<T, E>[]): ResultAsync<T[], E>

Combines multiple results into a single result. If all results are Ok, returns an Ok containing an array of all values. If any result is an Err, returns the first Err encountered.

Example

await ResultAsync.all([ok(1), ok(2), ok(3)]);
// Ok<number[]>([1, 2, 3])

await ResultAsync.all([ok(1), err("fail"), ok(3)]);

    a: AwaitableResult<T, E>,
    b: AwaitableResult<U, F>
): ResultAsync<U, E | F>

Performs a logical AND operation on two results. Returns b if a is Ok, otherwise returns a (which must be an Err).

Example

await ResultAsync.and(ok(1), ok("success"));
// Ok<string>("success")

await ResultAsync.and(err("fail"), ok("success"));
// Err<string>("fail")

await ResultAsync.and(ok(1), err("fail"));

await pipe(ok(1), ResultAsync.and(ok("success")));
// Ok<string>("success")

andThen

function ResultAsync.andThen(
    result: AwaitableResult<T, E>,
    transform: (value: T) => AwaitableResult<U, F>
): ResultAsync<U, E | F>

Chains Result-returning operations. If the result is Ok, applies the transform function to its value. If the result is Err, returns the Err unchanged.

Example

await ResultAsync.andThen(ok(5), (x) => ok(x * 2));
// Ok<number>(10)

await ResultAsync.andThen(err("fail"), (x) => ok(x * 2));
// Err<string>("fail")

await pipe(
    ok(5),
    ResultAsync.andThen((x) => ok(x * 2)),
);
// Ok<number>(10)

any

function ResultAsync.any(
    results: AwaitableResult<T, E>[]
): ResultAsync<T, E[]>

Returns the first Ok result from the array of results, or an Err containing an array of all errors if all results are Err.

Example

await ResultAsync.any([err("fail1"), ok(2), err("fail2")]);
// Ok<number>(2)

await ResultAsync.any([err("fail1"), err("fail2"), err("fail3")]);

attempt

function ResultAsync.attempt<T>(
    unsafeFn: () => T | Promise<T>
): ResultAsync<T, unknown>

Wraps a function that may throw an exception in a Result. If the unsafeFn executes successfully, returns its result wrapped in Ok. If it throws an error, returns the error wrapped in Err.

Example

await ResultAsync.attempt(() => 5);
// Ok<number>(5)

await ResultAsync.attempt(() => {
    throw new Error("Something went wrong");
});
// Err<Error>(Error: Something went wrong)

await ResultAsync.attempt(() => JSON.parse('{"valid": true}'));
// Ok<object>({valid: true})

attemptOr

function ResultAsync.attemptOr<T, U>(
    unsafeFn: () => T | Promise<U>,
    or: U | Promise<U>
): ResultAsync<T, U>

Wraps a function that may throw an exception in a Result, using a specific error value. If the unsafeFn executes successfully, returns its result wrapped in Ok. If it throws an error, returns the or value wrapped in Err.

Example

await ResultAsync.attemptOr(() => 5, "default error");
// Ok<number>(5)

await ResultAsync.attemptOr(() => {
    throw new Error("Something went wrong");
}, "default error");
// Err<string>("default error")

await ResultAsync.attemptOr(() => JSON.parse("invalid json"), "parse failed");
// Err<string>("parse failed")

attemptOrElse

function ResultAsync.attemptOrElse<T, U>(
    unsafeFn: () => T | Promise<T>,
    orElse: (error: unknown) => U | Promise<U>
): ResultAsync<T, U>

Wraps a function that may throw an exception in a Result, transforming any caught error. If the unsafeFn executes successfully, returns its result wrapped in Ok. If it throws an error, transforms the error using orElse and returns it wrapped in Err.

Example

await ResultAsync.attemptOrElse(
    () => 5,
    (e) => `Error: ${e}`,
);
// Ok<number>(5)

await ResultAsync.attemptOrElse(
    () => {
        throw new Error("Something went wrong");
    },
    (e) => `Caught: ${e.message}`,
);
// Err<string>("Caught: Something went wrong")

await ResultAsync.attemptOrElse(
    () => JSON.parse("invalid json"),
    (e) => new Error("Failed to parse json", { cause: e }),
);
// Err<Error>(new Error("Failed to parse json", { cause: e }))

expect

function ResultAsync.expect(
    result: AwaitableResult<T, E>,
    message: string
): Promise<T>

Unwraps the Ok value from the result. If the result is an Err, throws a ResultError with the given message.

Example

await ResultAsync.expect(ok(5), "Expected a value");
// 5

await ResultAsync.expect(err("fail"), "Expected a value");
// throws ResultError("Expected a value")

await pipe(ok(5), ResultAsync.expect("Expected a value"));
// 5

expectErr

function ResultAsync.expectErr(
    result: AwaitableResult<T, E>,
    message: string
): Promise<E>

Unwraps the Err value from the result. If the result is an Ok, throws a ResultError with the given message.

Example

await ResultAsync.expectErr(err("fail"), "Expected an error");
// "fail"

await ResultAsync.expectErr(ok(5), "Expected an error");
// throws ResultError("Expected an error")

await pipe(err("fail"), ResultAsync.expectErr("Expected an error"));
// "fail"

filter

function ResultAsync.filter(
    result: AwaitableResult<T, E>,
    predicate: (value: T) => boolean
): ResultAsync<T, E | void>

Filters the Ok value using the predicate function. If the result is Ok and the predicate returns true, returns the original result. If the predicate returns false, returns an Err with void. If the result is already an Err, returns it unchanged.

Can be used for type narrowing.

Example

await ResultAsync.filter(ok(5), (x) => x > 3);
// Ok<number>(5)

await ResultAsync.filter(ok(1), (x) => x > 3);
// Err<void>

await ResultAsync.filter(err("fail"), (x) => x > 3);
// Err<string>("fail")

await pipe(
    ok(5),
    ResultAsync.filter((x) => x > 3),
);
// Ok<number>(5)

filterOr

function ResultAsync.filterOr(
    result: AwaitableResult<T, E>,
    predicate: (value: T) => boolean,
    or: F
): ResultAsync<T, E | F>

Filters the Ok value using the predicate function. If the result is Ok and the predicate returns true, returns the original result. If the predicate returns false, returns an Err with the or value. If the result is already an Err, returns it unchanged.

Can be used for type narrowing.

Example

await ResultAsync.filterOr(ok(5), (x) => x > 3, "too small");
// Ok<number>(5)

await ResultAsync.filterOr(ok(1), (x) => x > 3, "too small");
// Err<string>("too small")

await ResultAsync.filterOr(err("fail"), (x) => x > 3, "too small");
// Err<string>("fail")

await pipe(
    ok(1),
    ResultAsync.filterOr((x) => x > 3, "too small"),
);
// Err<string>("too small")

filterOrElse

function ResultAsync.filterOrElse(
    result: AwaitableResult<T, E>,
    predicate: (value: T) => boolean,
    orElse: (value: T) => F | Promise<F>
): ResultAsync<T, E | F>

Filters the Ok value using the predicate function. If the result is Ok and the predicate returns true, returns the original result. If the predicate returns false, calls orElse with the Ok value and returns an Err with the result. If the result is already an Err, returns it unchanged.

Can be used for type narrowing.

Example

await ResultAsync.filterOrElse(
    ok(5),
    (x) => x > 3,
    (x) => `${x} is too small`,
);
// Ok<number>(5)

await ResultAsync.filterOrElse(
    ok(1),
    (x) => x > 3,
    (x) => `${x} is too small`,
);
// Err<string>("1 is too small")

await ResultAsync.filterOrElse(
    err("fail"),
    (x) => x > 3,
    (x) => `${x} is too small`,
);
// Err<string>("fail")

await pipe(
    ok(1),
    ResultAsync.filterOrElse(
        (x) => x > 3,
        (x) => `${x} is too small`,
    ),
);
// Err<string>("1 is too small")

flip

function ResultAsync.flip(
    result: AwaitableResult<T, E>
): ResultAsync<E, T>

Swaps the Ok and Err values of the result. An Ok becomes an Err and an Err becomes an Ok.

Example

await ResultAsync.flip(ok(5));
// Err<number>(5)

await ResultAsync.flip(err("fail"));
// Ok<string>("fail")

await pipe(ok(5), ResultAsync.flip());
// Err<number>(5)

inspect

function ResultAsync.inspect(
    result: AwaitableResult<T, E>,
    inspect: (value: T) => void
): ResultAsync<T, E>

Inspects the Ok value using the inspect function without changing the result. If the result is Ok, calls the inspect function with the value and returns the original result unchanged. If the result is an Err, returns it unchanged without calling inspect.

Example

await ResultAsync.inspect(ok(5), (x) => console.log(`Value: ${x}`));
// Ok<number>(5) - logs "Value: 5"

await ResultAsync.inspect(err("fail"), (x) => console.log(`Value: ${x}`));
// Err<string>("fail") - no log

await pipe(
    ok(5),
    ResultAsync.inspect((x) => console.log(`Value: ${x}`)),
);
// Ok<number>(5) - logs "Value: 5"

inspectErr

function ResultAsync.inspectErr(
    result: AwaitableResult<T, E>,
    inspect: (error: E) => void
): ResultAsync<T, E>

Inspects the Err value using the inspect function without changing the result. If the result is an Err, calls the inspect function with the error value and returns the original result unchanged. If the result is Ok, returns it unchanged without calling inspect.

Example

await ResultAsync.inspectErr(err("fail"), (e) => console.log(`Error: ${e}`));
// Err<string>("fail") - logs "Error: fail"

await ResultAsync.inspectErr(ok(5), (e) => console.log(`Error: ${e}`));
// Ok<number>(5) - no log

await pipe(
    err("fail"),
    ResultAsync.inspectErr((e) => console.log(`Error: ${e}`)),
);
// Err<string>("fail") - logs "Error: fail"

map

function ResultAsync.map(
    result: AwaitableResult<T, E>,
    transform: (value: T) => U | Promise<U>
): ResultAsync<U, E>

Transforms the value inside an Ok result using the transform function. If the result is an Err, it returns the Err unchanged.

Example

await ResultAsync.map(ok(5), (x) => x * 2);
// Ok<number>

await ResultAsync.map(err("fail"), (x) => x * 2);
// Err<string>

await pipe(
    ok(5),
    ResultAsync.map((x) => x * 2),
);
// Ok<number>

mapErr

function ResultAsync.mapErr(
    result: AwaitableResult<T, E>,
    transform: (error: E) => F | Promise<F>
): ResultAsync<T, F>

Transforms the Err value using the transform function. If the result is an Err, applies the transform function to the error value and returns a new Err. If the result is Ok, returns it unchanged.

Example

await ResultAsync.mapErr(err("fail"), (e) => `Error: ${e}`);
// Err<string>("Error: fail")

await ResultAsync.mapErr(ok(5), (e) => `Error: ${e}`);
// Ok<number>(5)

await pipe(
    err("fail"),
    ResultAsync.mapErr((e) => `Error: ${e}`),
);
// Err<string>("Error: fail")

mapOr

function ResultAsync.mapOr(
    result: AwaitableResult<T, E>,
    transform: (value: T) => U | Promise<U>,
    fallback: F
): Promise<U | F>

Unwraps the Ok value using the transform function, or returns the fallback value if the result is an Err.

Example

await ResultAsync.mapOr(ok(5), (x) => x * 2, 0);
// 10

await ResultAsync.mapOr(err("fail"), (x) => x * 2, 0);
// 0

await pipe(
    ok(5),
    ResultAsync.mapOr((x) => x * 2, 0),
);
// 10

mapOrElse

function ResultAsync.mapOrElse(
    result: AwaitableResult<T, E>,
    transform: (value: T) => U | Promise<U>,
    orElse: (error: E) => F | Promise<F>
): Promise<U | F>

Unwraps the Ok value using the transform function, or transforms the Err value using the orElse function.

Example

await ResultAsync.mapOrElse(
    ok(5),
    (x) => x * 2,
    (e) => `Error: ${e}`,
);
// 10

await ResultAsync.mapOrElse(
    err("fail"),
    (x) => x * 2,
    (e) => `Error: ${e}`,
);
// "Error: fail"

await pipe(
    ok(5),
    ResultAsync.mapOrElse(
        (x) => x * 2,
        (e) => `Error: ${e}`,
    ),
);
// 10

match

function ResultAsync.match(
    result: AwaitableResult<T, E>,
    patterns: {
        Ok: (value: T) => U | Promise<U>,
        Err: (error: E) => F | Promise<F>
    }
): Promise<U | F>

Pattern matches on the result using the provided patterns object. Calls the Ok function if the result is Ok, or the Err function if the result is an Err.

Example

await ResultAsync.match(ok(5), {
    Ok: (x) => `Value: ${x}`,
    Err: (e) => `Error: ${e}`,
});
// "Value: 5"

await ResultAsync.match(err("fail"), {
    Ok: (x) => `Value: ${x}`,
    Err: (e) => `Error: ${e}`,
});
// "Error: fail"

await pipe(
    ok(5),
    ResultAsync.match({
        Ok: (x) => `Value: ${x}`,
        Err: (e) => `Error: ${e}`,
    }),
);
// "Value: 5"

or

function ResultAsync.or(
    a: AwaitableResult<T, E>,
    b: AwaitableResult<U, F>
): ResultAsync<T | U, F>

Performs a logical OR operation on two results. Returns a if it's Ok, otherwise returns b.

Example

await ResultAsync.or(ok(1), ok(2));
// Ok<number>(1)

await ResultAsync.or(err("fail"), ok(2));
// Ok<number>(2)

await ResultAsync.or(err("fail1"), err("fail2"));
// Err<string>("fail2")

await pipe(err("fail"), ResultAsync.or(ok(2)));
// Ok<number>(2)

orElse

function ResultAsync.orElse(
    result: AwaitableResult<T, E>,
    orElse: (error: E) => AwaitableResult<U, F>
): ResultAsync<T | U, F>

Uses a fallback result computed by transform if the current result is an Err. If the result is Ok, returns it unchanged. If the result is an Err, calls transform with the error value to produce an alternative result.

Example

await ResultAsync.orElse(ok(5), (e) => ok(0));
// Ok<number>(5)

await ResultAsync.orElse(err("fail"), (e) => ok(0));
// Ok<number>(0)

await ResultAsync.orElse(err("fail"), (e) => err(`Handled: ${e}`));
// Err<string>("Handled: fail")

await pipe(
    err("fail"),
    ResultAsync.orElse((e) => ok(0)),
);
// Ok<number>(0)

unwrap

function ResultAsync.unwrap(
    result: AwaitableResult<T, E>
): Promise<T>

Unwraps the Ok value from the result. If the result is an Err, throws a ResultError with a default message.

Example

await ResultAsync.unwrap(ok(5));
// 5

await ResultAsync.unwrap(err("fail"));
// throws ResultError("Called Err.unwrap()")

await pipe(ok(5), ResultAsync.unwrap());
// 5

unwrapErr

function ResultAsync.unwrapErr(
    result: AwaitableResult<T, E>
): Promise<E>

Unwraps the Err value from the result. If the result is an Ok, throws a ResultError with a default message.

Example

await ResultAsync.unwrapErr(err("fail"));
// "fail"

await ResultAsync.unwrapErr(ok(5));
// throws ResultError("Called Ok.unwrapErr()")

await pipe(err("fail"), ResultAsync.unwrapErr());
// "fail"

unwrapOr

function ResultAsync.unwrapOr(
    result: AwaitableResult<T, E>,
    or: U | Promise<U>
): Promise<T | U>

Unwraps the Ok value from the result, or returns the or value if the result is an Err.

Example

await ResultAsync.unwrapOr(ok(5), 0);
// 5

await ResultAsync.unwrapOr(err("fail"), 0);
// 0

await pipe(err("fail"), ResultAsync.unwrapOr(0));
// 0

unwrapOrElse

function ResultAsync.unwrapOrElse(
    result: AwaitableResult<T, E>,
    orElse: (error: E) => U | Promise<U>
): Promise<T | U>

Unwraps the Ok value from the result, or computes a fallback value using orElse if the result is an Err.

Example

await ResultAsync.unwrapOrElse(ok(5), (e) => 0);
// 5

await ResultAsync.unwrapOrElse(err("fail"), (e) => `Default for ${e}`);
// "Default for fail"

await pipe(
    err("fail"),
    ResultAsync.unwrapOrElse((e) => `Default for ${e}`),
);
// "Default for fail"
