Either

Either is inspired by either monad and stands for either Left (error) or Right (success).

import { either } from "exceptionout";

const externalCall = Math.random() >= 0.5 
  ? Promise.resolve(42) 
  : Promise.reject(new Error("external error"));

const result = await either(externalCall, () => new Error("error"));

result
  .mapRight((r) => r.toFixed(1)) // r is number
  .mapLeft((l) => l.message) // l is Error

Optional

Optional means value or undefined if an error occurred.

import { either } from "exceptionout";

const externalCall = Math.random() >= 0.5 
  ? Promise.resolve(42) 
  : Promise.reject(new Error("external error"));

const result = await optional(externalCall);

if (result) {
    result.toFixed(1); // result is number
}

Result

Result is an union type of Error or success T.

import { result, isSuccess } from "exceptionout";

const externalCall = Math.random() >= 0.5 
  ? Promise.resolve(42) 
  : Promise.reject(new Error("external error"));

const result = await result(externalCall);

if (isSuccess(result)) {
  result.toFixed(1); // result is number
} else {
  result.message; // result is Error
}

Tuple

Tuple represents a tuple of Error and success T.

import { tuple } from "exceptionout";

const externalCall = () => Math.random() >= 0.5 
  ? Promise.resolve(42) 
  : Promise.reject(new Error("external error"));

const [, success] = await tuple(externalCall());

if (success) {
    success.toFixed(1); // success
}

const [error] = await tuple(externalCall());

if (error) {
    error.message; // error
}
