Module `Hack_result`

Result is often used to handle error messages.

type ('ok, 'err) t = ('ok, 'err) Pervasives.result =

| Ok of 'ok
| Error of 'err

'a is a function's expected return type, and 'b is often an error message string.

let ric_of_ticker = function
    | "IBM" -> Ok "IBM.N"
    | "MSFT" -> Ok "MSFT.OQ"
    | "AA" -> Ok "AA.N"
    | "CSCO" -> Ok "CSCO.OQ"
    | _ as ticker -> Error (sprintf "can't find ric of %s" ticker)

The return type of ric_of_ticker could be string option, but (string, string) Result.t gives more control over the error message.

include Hack_monad.S2 with type ('a, 'err) t := ('a, 'err) t

include Hack_monad.Infix2 with type ('a, 'err) t := ('a, 'err) t

val (>>=) : ('a, 'd) t -> ('a -> ('b, 'd) t) -> ('b, 'd) t

val (>>|) : ('a, 'd) t -> ('a -> 'b) -> ('b, 'd) t

module Monad_infix : Hack_monad.Infix2 with type ('a, 'd) t := ('a, 'd) t

val bind : ('a, 'd) t -> ('a -> ('b, 'd) t) -> ('b, 'd) t

val return : 'a -> ('a, _) t

val join : (('a, 'd) t, 'd) t -> ('a, 'd) t

val ignore : (_, 'd) t -> (unit, 'd) t

val all : ('a, 'd) t list -> ('a list, 'd) t

val all_ignore : (unit, 'd) t list -> (unit, 'd) t

val fail : 'err -> (_, 'err) t

val failf : ('a, unit, string, (_, string) t) format4 -> 'a

e.g. failf "Couldn't find bloogle %s" (Bloogle.to_string b)

val is_ok : (_, _) t -> bool

val is_error : (_, _) t -> bool

val ok : ('ok, _) t -> 'ok option

val error : (_, 'err) t -> 'err option

val of_option : 'ok option -> error:'err -> ('ok, 'err) t

val iter : ('ok, _) t -> f:('ok -> unit) -> unit

val iter_error : (_, 'err) t -> f:('err -> unit) -> unit

val map : ('ok, 'err) t -> f:('ok -> 'c) -> ('c, 'err) t

val map_error : ('ok, 'err) t -> f:('err -> 'c) -> ('ok, 'c) t

val combine : 
  ('ok1, 'err) t ->
  ('ok2, 'err) t ->
  ok:('ok1 -> 'ok2 -> 'ok3) ->
  err:('err -> 'err -> 'err) ->
  ('ok3, 'err) t

val ok_fst : ('ok, 'err) t -> [ `Fst of 'ok | `Snd of 'err ]

ok_fst is useful with List.partition_map. Continuing the above example:

  let rics, errors = List.partition_map ~f:Result.ok_fst
      (List.map ~f:ric_of_ticker ["AA"; "F"; "CSCO"; "AAPL"])

val ok_if_true : bool -> error:'err -> (unit, 'err) t

val try_with : (unit -> 'a) -> ('a, exn) t

val ok_exn : ('ok, exn) t -> 'ok

ok_exn t returns x if t = Ok x, and raises exn if t = Error exn

val ok_or_failwith : ('ok, string) t -> 'ok

val ok_unit : (unit, _) t

ok_unit = Ok (), used to avoid allocation as a performance hack
