Option / Maybe implementation for union-type. See also union-type-either.

Implemented interfaces:

  • Setoid
  • Foldable
  • Functor
  • Apply
  • Chain
  • Applicative
  • Monad
  • Extract

Documentation

Like Ramda, the functions in this lib take the Opt instance as the final argument. All functions with more than one argument are auto-curried using ramda.

This library is written in node-supported es2015 (4.0+) so if you're running in an old environment you may need to transpile to es5.

var Opt = require('union-type-option')
var Some = Opt.Some
var None = Opt.None

Some :: a -> Opt a

Create an instance of Opt with a non-null value.

Some(1) // Some(1)

None :: Unit -> Opt

Create an instance of Opt with a null value.

None() // None()

none

Alias to get the instance of None()

Opt.none // None()

equals :: Opt a -> Opt b -> Boolean

Compare the contained value of one Opt against another using ===.

Opt.equals(Some(1), Some(1)) //true
Opt.equals(Some({}), Some({})) //false
Opt.equals(None(), None()) //true

map :: (a -> b) -> Opt a -> Opt b

Run a function on a value in an Opt and return new Opt with the result.

Opt.map(a => a + 3, Some(1)) // Some(4)

filter :: (a -> Boolean) -> Opt a -> Opt a

Run a predicate on a value in Opt, if true the Some() is returned, else None()

Opt.filter(a => a > 3, Some(2)) // None()
Opt.filter(a => a > 3, Some(4)) // Some(4)

extract :: Opt a -> a

Get the value out of an Opt. May be null!

Opt.extract(Some(1)) // 1
Opt.extract(None()) // null

of :: a -> Opt b -> a

Put a value in an Opt. Mostly useful for higher level operations.

Opt.of(1, None()) // Some(1)
Opt.of(1, Some(999)) // Some(1)

chain :: (a -> Opt b) -> Opt a -> Opt b

Run a function that returns an Opt on the value in another Opt.

var validLength = str => str.length < 8 ? None() : Some(str)
var validHasCapitals = str => (/[A-Z]/).test(str) ? Some(str) : None()
var validateUsername = username => Opt.chain(validHasCapitals, validLength(username))

ap :: Opt a -> Opt (a -> b) -> Opt b

Run a function inside an Opt on the value in another Opt

Opt.ap(Some(2), Some(a => a * 2)) // Some(4)

reduce :: (b -> a -> b) -> b -> Opt a -> b

Turn an option into something else by combining its value with a seed and a reducing function.

Opt.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 1, Some(2)) // Some(3)

extend :: Opt a => (a -> b) -> a -> Opt b

Run a function on a Opt and wrap result in another Opt.

Opt.extend(Opt.map(a => a + 1), Some(1)) // Some(Some(2))
