Very simple implementations of Try, Either, and Option inspired by Scala. Depends on contracts.ruby. Disable contracts in production by setting the NO_CONTRACTS environment variable.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'trither'And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install trither
Factory methods
Try.make { computation }
If computation raises an error => Failure(error)
If computation returns without raising an error => Success(result)
Option.make(value)
If value.nil? => None
Else => Some(value)
Try (Success of Failure) methods
failure? Failure(error) => true
Success(value) => false
filter Failure(error) => Failure(error)
Success(value) => executes given block
if block's result is true => Success(value)
else => Failure(None)
flat_map Failure(error) => Failure(error)
Success(value) => executes given block and returns result
map Failure(error) => Failure(error)
Success(value) => executes given block & returns Success(result)
fail_map Failure(error) => executes given block & returns Failure(result)
Success(value) => Success(value)
or_else Failure(error) => executes given block and returns result
Success(value) => Success(value)
get_or_else Failure(error) => executes given block and returns result
Success(value) => returns the value
Either (Left or Right) methods
left? Left(value) => true
Right(value) => false
right? Left(value) => false
Right(value) => true
left returns value; defined on Left only
right returns value; defined on Right only
left_map Left(value) => executes given block and returns Left(result)
Right(value) => Right(value)
right_map Left(value) => Left(value)
Right(value) => executes given block and returns Right(result)
Option (Some or None) methods
empty? None => true
Some(value) => false
filter None => None
Some(value) => executes given block
if block's result is true => Some(value)
else => None
fetch None => returns default
Some(value) => returns value
flat_map None => returns None
Some(value) => executes given block
if block's result is nil => None
else => block's result
map None => returns None
Some(value) => executes given block and wraps result in Option
or_else None => executes given block and returns result
Some(value) => returns Some(value)
get_or_else None => executes given block and returns result
Some(value) => returns value
