gem 'zx-result'

and then, require module

require 'zx'

Configuration

Without configuration, because we use only Ruby. ❤️

Usage

You can use with many towards.

Success

result = Zx.Success(5)
result.success? #=> true
result.failure? #=> false
result.value #=> 5
result.value! #=> 5 or raise
result.error #=> nil or raises an exception

result = Zx.Success(5, type: :integer)
result.success? #=> true
result.failure? #=> false
result.value #=> 5
result.value! #=> 5 or raise
result.error #=> nil or raises an exception
result.type #=> :integer

Failure

result = Zx.Failure(:fizz)
result.success? #=> false
result.failure? #=> true
result.value #=> raises an exception
result.error #=> :fizz
result.type #=> :error

result = Zx.Failure(:fizz, type: :not_found)
result.success? #=> false
result.failure? #=> true
result.value #=> raises an exception
result.error #=> :fizz
result.type #=> :not_found

Map or Then

result = Zx.Success(5, type: :integer)
  .fmap{ |number| number + 5 }
  .fmap{ |number| number + 5 }
  .fmap{ |number| number + 5 }
  .on_success(:integer) {|number| puts number } #=> 20
  .on(:success, :integer) {|number| puts number } #=> 20
  .on_success {|number| puts number } #=> 20

result.success? #=> true
result.failure? #=> false
result.value #=> 20
result.value! #=> 20 or raise
result.error #=> nil or raises a  n exception
result.type #=> :integer

result = Zx.Success(5, type: :integer)
  .then{ |number| number + 5 }
  .then{ |number| number + 5 }
  .then{ |number| number + 5 }
  .on_success{|number| puts number } #=> 20

result.success? #=> true
result.failure? #=> false
result.value #=> 20
result.value! #=> 20 or raise
result.error #=> nil or raises an exception
result.type #=> :integer

Step or Check

result = Zx.Success(5, type: :integer)
  .step{ |number| number + 5 }
  .on_success(:integer) {|number| puts number } #=> 10
  .on(:success, :integer) {|number| puts number } #=> 10
  .on_success {|number| puts number } #=> 10

result.success? #=> true
result.failure? #=> false
result.value #=> 10
result.value! #=> 10 or raise
result.error #=> nil or raises a  n exception
result.type #=> :integer

result = Zx.Success(5, type: :integer)
  .step{ |number| number + 5 }
  .check { |number| number == 10 }
  .on_success{|number| puts number } #=> 10

result.success? #=> true
result.failure? #=> false
result.value #=> 10
result.value! #=> 10 or raise
result.error #=> nil or raises an exception
result.type #=> :integer

result = Zx.Success(5, type: :integer)
  .step{ |number| number + 5 }
  .check { |number| number == 15 }
  .on_failure{|error| puts error } #=> 10

Try

result = Zx.Try { 5 }
  .step{ |number| number + 5 }
  .check { |number| number == 15 }
  .on_failure{|error| puts error } #=> 10

Given

input = 5

result = Zx.Given(input)
  .then{ |number| number + 5 }
  .then{ |number| number + 5 }
  .then{ |number| number + 5 }
  .on_success{|number| number }

You can use one or multiples listeners in your result. We see some use cases.

Simple composition

class AsIncluded
  include Zx

  def pass(...)
    Success(...)
  end

  def passthrough(value)
    Success[value]
  end

  def failed(error)
    Failure[error, type: :error]
  end
end

result = AsIncluded.new.pass('save record!')

result
  .on(:success, :success) { expect(_1).to eq(a: 1) }
  .on(:success, :mailer) { expect(_1).to eq(a: 1) }
  .on(:success, :persisted) { expect(_1).to eq('save record!') }
  .on(:success) { |value, (type)| expect([value, type]).to eq(['save record!', :persisted]) }
  .on(:failure, :error) { expect(_1).to eq('on error') }
  .on(:failure, :record_not_found) { expect(_1).to eq('not found user') }

Simple Inherit

class AsInherited
  include Zx

  def pass(...)
    Success(...)
  end

  def passthrough(value)
    Success[value]
  end

  def failed(error)
    Failure(error, type: :error)
  end
end

result = AsInherited.new.pass('save record!')

result
  .on(:success, :success) { expect(_1).to eq(a: 1) }
  .on(:success, :mailer) { expect(_1).to eq(a: 1) }
  .on(:success, :persisted) { expect(_1).to eq('save record!') }
  .on(:success) { |value, (type)| expect([value, type]).to eq(['save record!', :persisted]) }
  .on(:failure, :error) { expect(_1).to eq('on error') }
  .on(:failure, :record_not_found) { expect(_1).to eq('not found user') }

You can use directly methods, for example:

Zx.Success(relation)

# or

Zx::Success[relation]

Zx:.Failure('error', type: :invalid)

# or

Zx::Failure[:invalid_user, 'user was not found']

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run bundle exec rspec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
