usage

Result<T, E>

• Result<T, E> is a type that represents either a success (containing a value of type T) or a failure (containing an error of type E).
• it can be either Ok obj or Err obj like this:

function str_to_number(str: string): Result<number, Error> {
  let num = parseInt(str)
  if (isNaN(num)) {
    return Err(Error("not a number"))
  }
  return Ok(parseInt(str))
}

Option

• Option<T> is a type that represents an optional value.
• it can be either Some obj or None obj like this:

let optional_number: Option<number> = Some(1)
let optional_string: Option<string> = None()

match

• match is a keyword that can be used to match on a value which is result and option.
• it can be used like this:

let optional_number: Option<number> = Some(1)
1 == match(optional_number, {
    Some(num) => num,
    None() => 0
})

trycatch_to_result(T) -> Result<T, Error>

• trycatch_to_result(T) -> Result<T, Error> is a function that can be used to convert a function that can throw an error to a function that returns a result.

function str_to_number(str: string): number {
  let num = parseInt(str)
  if (isNaN(num)) {
    throw Error("not a number")
  }
  return num
}

let result = trycatch_to_result<number, Error>(() => str_to_number("1"))
