@sapphire/result

A TypeScript port of Nightly Rust's Result and Option structs

Description

When having many try-catch blocks after one another, or multiple try-catch blocks nested in one another then code can become very chaotic very quickly. To alleviate that issue we have made the @sapphire/result which offers two structures based on Rust's Result<T, E> and Option<T> with full Nightly coverage and extra convenience methods. This code has been branched off of @sapphire/framework into its own package after we saw great success with the code there.

Features

• Written in TypeScript
• Bundled with esbuild so it can be used in NodeJS and browsers
• Offers CommonJS, ESM and UMD bundles
• Full feature parity with Nightly Rust's Result<T, E> and Option<T>
• Fully tested

Installation

You can use the following command to install this package, or replace npm install with your package manager of choice.

npm install @sapphire/result

Usage

Note 1: While this section uses require, the imports match 1:1 with ESM imports. For example const { Result } = require('@sapphire/result') equals import { Result } from '@sapphire/result'.

Wrapping synchronous try-catch blocks

Old code without Result.from:

try {
	const returnCode = someFunctionThatMightThrow();

	return returnCode;
} catch (error) {
	// Handle the error:
	console.error(error);
	return null;
}

New Code with Result.from:

const { Result } = require('@sapphire/result');

const returnCode = Result.from(() => someFunctionThatMightThrow());

return returnCode.unwrapOrElse((error) => {
	console.error(error);
	return null;
});

Wrapping asynchronous try-catch blocks

Old code without Result.fromAsync:

try {
	const returnCode = await someFunctionThatReturnsAPromiseAndMightReject();

	return returnCode;
} catch (error) {
	// Handle the error:
	console.error(error);
	return null;
}

New Code with Result.fromAsync:

const { Result } = require('@sapphire/result');

const returnCode = await Result.fromAsync(async () => someFunctionThatReturnsAPromiseAndMightReject());

return returnCode.unwrapOrElse((error) => {
	console.error(error);
	return null;
});
