## API

### Match

Matches the `Option` or `Result` and calls callback functions.

1 callback function will be executed for `Ok` or `Some` result.

2 callback function will be executed for `Err` or `None` result.

If incoming arguments is not `Option` or `Result` or callback functions is not a functions then it throws an `UndefinedBehavior` error.

If your result have type `Result<Option<T>, E>`. You need to call match function only once

```ts

const resFromBackend = Bind(async (...args) => return (await fetch(...args)).json())

const json = match(await resFromBackend('https://json-placeholder.typicode.com/posts/1'), (res) => {
    console.log('JSON is:', unwrapped)
}, (e) => {
  if(e){
    console.log('Error:', e)
  }
  else {
    console.log('JSON is None(null or undefined)')
  }
})

console.log(json); // YOUR JSON from Backend
```

### Bind

Function decorator. Combines Result and Option modules. Make the function safe to execute.

Wraps function and return new function with binded context.

Result of this function will be mapped into `Result<Option<T>,E>`.

Function `result` will be mapped into `Ok(Some(result))`.

`undefined` function result will mapped into `Ok(None())`.

```ts
const fn = (a: number) => a + 2;
const newFn = Bind(fn);

const res = newFn(1);
res.unwrap().unwrap(); // 3
newFn(10).unwrap().unwrap(); // 12

const thrower = () => {
  throw new Error("shit happens :)");
};
const func = Bind(thrower);
func().isErr(); // true
const err = func().unwrapErr();
console.log(err); // {message: 'shit happens :)'}
err instanceof Error; // true

// async example
const asyncFn = () => Promise.resolve(123);
const fn = Bind(asyncFn);

const r = await fn();

r.isOk(); // true
r.unwrap(); // 123
```

### UndefinedBehaviorError

Error that occurs when an operation is not supported, or when result is unpredictable.

### Option

Type `Option` represents an optional value: every `Option` is either `Some` and contains a value, or `None`, and does not. `Option` have a number of uses:

- Initial values
- Return values for functions that are not defined over their entire input range (partial functions)
- Return value for otherwise reporting simple errors, where `None` is returned on error
- `Optional` struct fields
- `Optional` function arguments
- Nullish(null or undefined) value.
- Swapping things out of difficult situations
- Options are commonly paired with pattern matching to query the presence of a value and take action, always accounting for the `None` case.

#### Functions

##### Some(T)

represents Some value.

```ts
const a = Some(123);

const b = Some(null); // None()
```

**NOTE:** `Some(undefined)` and `Some(null)` automatically converted to `None()`.

`Some` function is also instance of `Option` class and `Some` function.

```ts
Some(4) instanceof Option; // true
Some(4) instanceof Some; // true,

Some(4) instanceof None; // false
```

##### None

Represents nullish(`null` or `undefiend`) value

```ts
const a = None(); // Option<undefined>
const a = None(null); // Option<null>
```

`None` function is also instance of `Option`class and `None` function.

```ts
const a = Some(123);
const b = None();

a instanceof Option; // true
b instanceof Option; // true

a instanceof Some; // true
a instanceof None; // false

b instanceof Some; // false
b instanceof None; // true
```

#### constructor(executor)

- `executor` - function that receives a `some` and `none` functions as arguments.

  - `some(value)` - function that receives a value and returns `Option` instance in `Some` status.
    **NOTE:** `some(undefined)` and `some(null)` automatically converted to `None()`.

  - `none(reason)` - function that returns `Option` instance in `None` status.

**NOTE:** throws `UndefinedBehaviorError` if value returns Promise, or `executor` function is async.

```ts
// return/throw results
const a = new Option(() => 4); // Option<number>
a.isSome(); // true

const b = new Option(() => {
  throw new Error("error");
});
b.isNone(); // true

// control flow functions
const c = new Option((some, none) => {
  return Math.random() > 0.5 ? some(42) : none();
}); // Option<number>

// automatic conversion
const d = new Option((some) => {
  some(null);
});
d.isSome(); // false
d.isNone(); // true
```

The next code will throws `UndefinedBehaviorError`

```ts
new Option((some, none) => {
  // throws since return Promise
  return Promise.resolve(Math.random() > 0.5 ? some(42) : none());
}); // throws UndefinedBehaviorError

new Option(async (some, none) => {
  // throws since async function
  return some(5);
}); // throws UndefinedBehaviorError
```

#### Static fields/methods

##### Status

Returns object with possible statuses

```ts
Option.Status = {
  Some: "Some",
  None: "None",
};
```

##### fromPromise/fromAsync

Converts a `Promise` into an `Option`.

We recommend using `Bind` function to handle functions since it allows to handle both regular and async functions and transform it into `Result<Option<T>, E>`.

```ts
await Option.fromPromise(Promise.resolve(42)); // Option<number>
await Option.fromPromise<Error>(Promise.reject(new Error("error"))); // Option<Error>
async function doAction() {
  return 42;
}

await Option.fromPromise(doAction()); // Option<number>
// but best solution is to use Bind function
const doActionSafe = Bind(doAction);

await doActionSafe(); // Result<Option<number>, unknown>
```

##### withResolvers

Returns an object with option and `some`, `none` functions. Similar to [`Promise.withResolvers`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise/withResolvers)

```ts
const { option, some, none } = Option.withResolvers();

console.log(some(2)); // (value: number) => Option<number>
console.log(option.unwrap()); // 2

none(); // doing noting. result is already set to 2
```

##### is(value)

Returns `true` if the `value` instance of `Option`.

##### None

Similar to `None` function.

##### Some

Similar to `Some` function.

#### Instance fields/methods

##### expect

Returns the contained `Some` value, consuming the self value.

```ts
const x = Some("value");
x.expect("fruits are healthy") === "value"; // true

const y: Option<string> = None();
y.expect("fruits are healthy"); // throws with `fruits are healthy`
```

##### unwrap

Returns the contained `Some` value, consuming the self value.

Because this function may throws, its use is generally discouraged. Instead, prefer to use pattern matching and handle the None case explicitly, or call `unwrapOr`, `unwrapOrElse`, or `unwrapOrDefault`.

Throws an error when value is `None`

```ts
const x = Some("air");
x.unwrap() === "air";

const x: Option<string> = None();
x.unwrap(); // fails
```

##### unwrapOr

Returns the contained `Some` value or a provided default.

```typescript
const x = Some("air");
x.unwrapOr("another") === "air";

const x: Option<string> = None();
x.unwrapOr("another") === "another";
```

##### unwrapOrElse

Returns the contained Some value or computes it from a closure.

```typescript
const k = 10;
Some(4).unwrapOrElse(() => 2 * k) === 4;
None().unwrapOrElse(() => 2 * k) === 20;
```

##### map

Maps an `Option<T>` to `Option<U>` by applying a function to a contained value (if `Some`) or returns None (if `None`).

```typescript
const maybeSomeString = Some("Hello, World!");
const maybeSomeLen = maybeSomeString.map(s => s.length);
maybeSomeLen === Some(13));

const x: Option<string> = None();
x.map(s => s.length) === None();
```

##### mapOr

Returns the provided default result (if `none`), or applies a function to the contained value (if any).

Arguments passed to mapOr are eagerly evaluated; if you are passing the result of a function call, it is recommended to use `mapOrElse`, which is lazily evaluated.

```typescript
const x = Some("foo");
x.mapOr(42, (v) => v.length) === 3;

const x: Option<string> = None();
x.mapOr(42, (v) => v.len()) === 42;
```

##### mapOrElse

Computes a default function result (if `none`), or applies a different function to the contained value (if any).

```typescript
const k = 21;

const x = Some("foo");
x.mapOrElse(
  () => 2 * k,
  (v) => v.length
) === 3;

const x: Option<string> = None();
x.mapOrElse(
  () => 2 * k,
  (v) => v.length
) === 42;
```

##### okOr

Transforms the `Option<T>` into a `Result<T, E>`, mapping `Some(v)` to `Ok(v)` and `None` to `Err(err)`.

Arguments passed to `okOr` are eagerly evaluated; if you are passing the result of a function call, it is recommended to use `okOrElse`, which is lazily evaluated.

```typescript
const x = Some("foo");
String(x.okOr(0)) === String(Ok("foo"));

const y: Option<string> = None();
y.okOr(0) === Err(0);
```

##### okOrElse

Transforms the `Option<T>` into a `Result<T, E>`, mapping `Some(v)` to `Ok(v)` and None to `Err(err())`.

```typescript
const x = Some("foo");
console.assert(x.okOrElse(() => 0) === Ok("foo"));

let y: Option<string> = None();
console.assert(y.okOrElse(() => 0) === Err(0));
```

##### and

Returns `None` if the option is `None`, otherwise returns `optb`.

Arguments passed to and are eagerly evaluated; if you are passing the result of a function call, it is recommended to use `andThen`, which is lazily evaluated.

```typescript
const x = Some(2);
const y: Option<string> = None();
console.assert(x.and(y) === None());
// another example
let x: Option<number> = None();
let y = Some("foo");
console.assert(x.and(y) === None());
// another example
let x = Some(2);
let y = Some("foo");
console.assert(x.and(y) === Some("foo"));
// another example
let x: Option<number> = None();
let y: Option<string> = None();
console.assert(x.and(y) === None());
```

##### andThen

Returns `None` if the option is `None`, otherwise calls f with the wrapped value and returns the result.

Some languages call this operation flatmap.

```typescript
function toString(x: number): Option<string> {
 return Some(String(x));
}
console.assert(Some(2).andThen(toString) === Some(2.toString()));
console.assert(None().andThen(toString) === None());
```

##### filter

Returns `None` if the option is `None`, otherwise calls predicate with the wrapped value and returns:

`Some(t)` if predicate returns true (where t is the wrapped value), an
`None` if predicate returns false

```typescript
function isEven(n: number): boolean {
  return n % 2 == 0;
}
console.assert(None().filter(isEven) === None());
console.assert(Some(3).filter(isEven) === None());
console.assert(Some(4).filter(isEven) === Some(4));
```

##### xor

Returns `Some` if exactly one of self, `optb` is `Some`, otherwise returns `None`.

##### insert

Inserts value into the option, then returns a mutable reference to it.

If the option already contains a value, the old value is dropped.

See also `getOrInsert`, which doesn’t update the value if the option already contains `Some`.

```typescript
const opt = None();
const val = opt.insert(1);
console.assert(val === 1);
console.assert(opt.unwrap() === 1);
// another example
const val = opt.insert(2);
console.assert(val === 2);
```

##### replace

Replaces the actual value in the option by the value given in parameter, returning the old value if present, leaving a `Some` in its place without deinitializing either one.

```ts
const x = Some(2);
const old = x.replace(5);
console.assert(x === Some(5));
console.assert(old === Some(2));
// another example
const x = None();
const old = x.replace(3);
console.assert(x === Some(3));
console.assert(old === None());
```

##### zip

Zips self with another `Option`.

If self is `Some(s)` and other is `Some(o)`, this method returns `Some((s, o))`. Otherwise, `None` is returned.

```ts
const x = Some(1);
const y = Some("hi");
const z = None<number>();

x.zip(y) === Some((1, "hi"));
x.zip(z) === None();
```

##### zipWith

Zips self and another `Option` with function `f`.

If self is `Some(s)` and other is `Some(o)`, this method returns `Some(f(s, o))`. Otherwise, `None` is returned.

```ts
class Point {
  constructor(readonly x: number, readonly y: number) {}
  static create(x: number, y: number) {
    return new Point(x, y);
  }
}
const x = Some(17.5);
const y = Some(42.7);

x.zipWith(y, Point.create); // Some({ x: 17.5, y: 42.7 });
```

##### unzip

Unzips an option containing a tuple of two options.

If self is `Some((a, b))` this method returns `(Some(a), Some(b))`. Otherwise, `(None, None)` is returned.

```ts
const x = Some([1, "hi"]);
const y = None<[number, number]>();
console.assert(x.unzip() === [Some(1), Some("hi")]);
console.assert(y.unzip() === [None(), None()]);
```

##### flatten

Converts from `Option<Option<T>>` to `Option<T>`.

```ts
const x: Option<Option<number>> = Some(Some(6));
Some(6) === x.flatten();

const x: Option<Option<number>> = Some(None());
None() === x.flatten();

const x: Option<Option<number>> = None();
None() === x.flatten();
```

##### isSome

Returns `true` if the option is a `Some` value.

```ts
const x: Option<number> = Some(2);
x.isSome() === true; // true

const x: Option<number> = None();
x.isSome() === false; // true
```

##### isNone

Returns true if the option is a `None` value.

##### isSomeAnd

Returns `true` if the option is a `Some` and the value inside of it matches a predicate.

```ts
const x: Option<number> = Some(2);
x.isSomeAnd((x) => x > 1) === true; // true

const x: Option<number> = Some(0);
x.isSomeAnd((x) => x > 1) === false; // true

const x: Option<number> = None();
x.isSomeAnd((x) => x > 1) === false; // true
```

##### getOrInsert

Inserts value into the option if it is `None`, then returns a mutable reference to the contained value.

See also `insert`, which updates the value even if the option already contains `Some`.

```ts
const x = None<number>();
const y = x.getOrInsert(7);

y === 7; // true
```

##### getOrInsertWith

Inserts a value computed from `f` into the option if it is `None`, then returns the contained value.

```ts
const x = None<number>();
const y = x.getOrInsertWith(() => 5);

y === 5; // true
```

##### or

Returns the `Option` if it contains a value, otherwise returns `optb`. Arguments passed to or are eagerly evaluated; if you are passing the result of a function call, it is recommended to use `orElse`, which is lazily evaluated.

```ts
const x = Some(2);
const y = None();
console.assert(x.or(y) === Some(2));
// another example
const x = None();
const y = Some(100);
console.assert(x.or(y) === Some(100));
// another example
let x = Some(2);
let y = Some(100);
console.assert(x.or(y) === Some(2));
// another example
const x: Option<number> = None();
const y = None();
console.assert(x.or(y) === None());
```

##### orElse

Returns the `Option` if it contains a value, otherwise calls `f` and returns the result.

```ts
function nobody(): Option<string> {
  return None();
}
function vikings(): Option<string> {
  return Some("vikings");
}

Some("barbarians").orElse(vikings) === Some("barbarians"); // true
None().orElse(vikings) === Some("vikings"); // true
None().orElse(nobody) === None(); // true
```

##### Boolean Operators

These methods treat the `Option` as a boolean value, where `Some` acts like true and `None` acts like false. There are two categories of these methods: ones that take an `Option` as input, and ones that take a function as input (to be lazily evaluated).

The `and`, `or`, and `xor` methods take another Option as input, and produce an `Option` as output. Only the and method can produce an `Option<U>` value having a different inner type U than `Option<T>`.

| method | self    | input     | output  |
| ------ | ------- | --------- | ------- |
| and    | None    | (ignored) | None    |
| and    | Some(x) | None      | None    |
| and    | Some(x) | Some(y)   | Some(y) |
| or     | None    | None      | None    |
| or     | None    | Some(y)   | Some(y) |
| or     | Some(x) | (ignored) | Some(x) |
| xor    | None    | None      | None    |
| xor    | None    | Some(y)   | Some(y) |
| xor    | Some    | None      | Some(x) |
| xor    | Some(x) | Some(y)   | None    |

The `andThen` and `orElse` methods take a function as input, and only evaluate the function when they need to produce a new value. Only the `andThen` method can produce an `Option<U>` value having a different inner type `U` than `Option<T>`.

| method    | self    | function input | function result | output  |
| --------- | ------- | -------------- | --------------- | ------- |
| `andThen` | None    | (not provided) | (not evaluated) | None    |
| `andThen` | Some(x) | x              | None            | None    |
| `andThen` | Some(x) | x              | Some(y)         | Some(y) |
| `orElse`  | None    | (not provided) | None            | None    |
| `orElse`  | None    | (not provided) | Some(y)         | Some(y) |
| `orElse`  | Some(x) | (not provided) | (not evaluated) | Some(x) |

This is an example of using methods like `andThen` and or in a pipeline of method calls. Early stages of the pipeline pass failure values (`None`) through unchanged, and continue processing on success values (`Some`). Toward the end, or substitutes an error message if it receives None.

##### toString

Returns string representation of the `Option` value.

```ts
Some(3).toString(); // Some(3)
None(null).toString(); // None(null)
```

##### valueOf

Returns self value. Not recommended for use but can be useful in some cases.

```ts
Some(3).valueOf(); // 3
None(null).valueOf(); // null
None().valueOf(); // undefined
None("some string").valueOf(); // some string
```

##### toJSON

Returns JSON representation of the `Option` value. This method is used by `JSON.stringify()`.

Not recommended for use but can be useful in some cases.

```ts
Some(1).toJSON(); // { status: 'Some', value: 1 };
None().toJSON(); // { status: 'None', value: undefined };
None(null).toJSON(); // { status: 'None', value: null };
```

```

### Result

`Result<T, E>` is the type used for returning and propagating errors. It is an enum with the variants, `Ok(T)`, representing success and containing a value, and `Err(E)`, representing error and containing an error value.

#### Functions

##### Ok(T)

Represents success with `T` value.

`Ok` function is also instance of `Result`class and `Ok` function.

```ts
const aOk = Ok(123);
const aErr = Err(123);

aOk instanceof Result; // true
aOk instanceof Ok; // true
aOk instanceof Err; // false

aErr instanceof Result; // true
aErr instanceof Ok; // false
aErr instanceof Err; // true
```

##### Err(E)

Represents fail with some error inside.

```ts
const aErr = Err(123);

aErr.isErr(); // true
aErr.unwrapErr(); // 123
aErr.unwrap(); // throws since aErr is Err
```

`Err` function is also instance of `Result`class and `Err` function.

```ts
const aErr = Err(123);
aErr instanceof Result; // true
aErr instanceof Err; // true
aErr instanceof Ok; // false
```

#### constructor(executor)

- `executor` - function that receives a `some` and `none` functions as arguments. Return value is used as `Ok`. If executor throws an error, it is used as `Err`.
  - `ok(value)` - function that receives a value and returns `Ok(value)`
  - `err(reason)` - function that receives a reason and returns `Err(reason)`

**NOTE:** Throws `UndefinedBehaviorError` if `executor` is not a function or `executor` returns a `Promise` or `executor` is async function

```ts
// normal function execution
const r1 = new Result(() => {
  throw new Error("qwe");
});
r1.isErr(); // true
r1.unwrapErr(); // Error('qwe')

const r2 = new Result(() => {
  return "some success";
});
r2.isOk(); // true
r2.unwrap(); // "some success"

// using control flow functions
const r3 = new Result((ok, err) => {
  // return is not needed
  Math.random() > 0.5 ? ok("success") : err("error");
});

// Note: async functions or Promise return will throw an error. use `fromPromise` or `fromAsync`
new Result(async () => {
  // throws
  await Promise.resolve();
});
new Result(() => Promise.resolve()); // throws
Result.fromPromise(Promise.resolve("okay")); // OK. Result<okay>
```

#### Static methods/fields

##### fromPromise/fromAsync

transforms given promise into a `Result`.

```ts
const r = await Result.fromPromise(Promise.resolve("okay"));
r.unwrap(); // okay

const r2 = await Result.fromPromise(Promise.reject("error"));
r2.unwrapErr(); // error
```

##### Status

Static property that returns object with all possible statuses.

##### withResolvers

Returns an object with option and `ok`, `err` functions. Similar to [`Promise.withResolvers`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise/withResolvers)

```ts
const { result, ok, err } = Result.withResolvers();

ok(2);
console.log(option.unwrap()); // 2

err("qwe"); // doing noting. result is already set to 2
```

##### is(value)

Returns true if the `value` is an instance of `Result`.

##### ok/Ok

returns `Ok` value if the `value` is an instance of `Result`. Same as `Ok` function.

##### err/Err

returns `Err` value if the `value` is an instance of `Result`. Same as `Err` function.

#### Methods/Fields

##### expect

Returns the contained `Ok` value, consuming the self value.

Because this function may throws, its use is generally discouraged. Call `unwrapOr`, `unwrapOrElse`.

Panics if the value is an `Err`, with a message including the passed message, and the content of the `Err`.

```ts
const x: Result<number, string> = Err("emergency failure");
x.expect("Testing expect"); // `Testing expect`, cause: emergency failure
```

##### unwrap

Returns the contained `Ok` value, consuming the self value.

Because this function may throws, its use is generally discouraged. Instead, call `unwrapOr`, `unwrapOrElse`.

```ts
const x: Result<number, string> = Ok(2);
x.unwrap() === 2;
```

##### unwrapOr

eturns the contained `Ok` value or a provided default.

Arguments passed to `unwrapOr` are eagerly evaluated; if you are passing the result of a function call, it is recommended to use `unwrapOrElse`, which is lazily evaluated.

```ts
const fallback = 2;
const x = Ok(9);
x.unwrapOr(fallback) === 9; // true

cosnt x: Result<number, string> = Err("error");
x.unwrapOr(fallback) === fallback; // true
```

##### isOk

Returns `true` if the result is `Ok`.

```ts
const x: Result<number, string> = Ok(-3);
x.isOk(); // true
// another example
let x: Result<number, string> = Err("Some error message");
x.isOk(); // false
```

##### isOkAnd

Returns `true` if the result is `Ok` and the value inside of it matches a predicate.

```ts
const x: Result<number, string> = Ok(2);
console.assert(x.isOkAnd((x) => x > 1) === true);
// another example
const x: Result<number, string> = Ok(0);
console.assert(x.isOkAnd((x) => x > 1) === false);
// another example
const x: Result<number, string> = Err("hey");
console.assert(x.isOkAnd((x) => x > 1) === false);
```

##### isErr

Returns `true` if the result is `Err`.

```ts
const x: Result<number, string> = Ok(-3);
console.assert(x.isErr() === false);
// another example
const x: Result<number, string> = Err("Some error message");
console.assert(x.isErr() === true);
```

#### isErrAnd

Returns `true` if the result is `Err` and the value inside of it matches a predicate.

```ts
const x: Result<number, Error> = Err(new Error("not found"));
x.isErrAnd((e) => e.message === "not found"); // true;
// another example
const x: Result<number, Error> = Err(new Error("permission denied"));
x.isErrAnd((x) => x.name === "TypeError"); // false
// another example
const x: Result<number, Error> = Ok(123);
x.isErrAnd((e) => e.name == "Error"); // false
```

##### ok

Converts self into an `Option<T>`, consuming self, and discarding the error, if any.

```ts
const x: Result<number, string> = Ok(2);
x.ok() === Some(2); // true
// another example
const x: Result<number, string> = Err("Nothing here");
x.ok() === None(); // true
```

##### err

Converts self into an `Option<E>`, consuming self, and discarding the success value, if any.

```ts
const x: Result<number, string> = Ok(2);
x.err() === None(); // true

const x: Result<number, string> = Err("Nothing here");
x.err() === Some("Nothing here"); // true
```

##### map

Maps a `Result<T, E>` to `Result<U, E>` by applying a function to a contained Ok value, leaving an `Err` value untouched.

This function can be used to compose the results of two functions.

```ts
const x = Ok(1);
x.map((v) => v * 2) === Ok(2); // true
```

##### mapOr

Returns the provided default (if `Err`), or applies a function to the contained value (if `Ok`),

Arguments passed to `mapOr` are eagerly evaluated; if you are passing the result of a function call, it is recommended to use `mapOrElse`, which is lazily evaluated.

```ts
const x: Result<string, string> = Ok("foo");
x.mapOr(42, (v) => v.length); // result is 3
// another example
const x: Result<number, string> = Err("bar");
x.mapOr(42, (v) => v.length); // 42
```

##### mapOrElse

Maps a `Result<T, E>` to `U` by applying fallback function default to a contained `Err` value, or function `f` to a contained `Ok` value.

This function can be used to unpack a successful result while handling an error.

```ts
let k = 21;

const x: Result<string, string> = Ok("foo");
x.mapOrElse(
  (err) => k * 2,
  (v) => v.length
); // 3

const y: Result<string, string> = Err("bar");
y.mapOrElse(
  (e) => k * 2,
  (v) => v.length
); // 42
```

##### mapErr

Maps a `Result<T, E>` to `Result<T, F>` by applying a function to a contained Err value, leaving an `Ok` value untouched.

This function can be used to pass through a successful result while handling an error.

```ts
const stringify = (x: number) => `error code: ${x}`;

const x: Result<number, number> = Ok(2);
x.mapErr(stringify) === Ok(2); // true

const y: Result<number, number> = Err(13);
y.mapErr(stringify) === Err("error code: 13");
```

##### expectErr

Returns the contained `Err` value, consuming the self value.

```ts
const x: Result<number, string> = Ok(10);
x.expectErr("Testing expectErr"); // throws `Testing expectErr; cause: 10`
```

##### unwrapErr

Returns the contained `Err` value, consuming the self value.

```ts
const x: Result<number, string> = Err("emergency failure");
x.unwrapErr() === "emergency failure";
```

##### unwrapOrElse

Returns the contained `Ok` value or computes it from a closure.

```ts
const count = (x: string) => x.length;

Ok(2).unwrapOrElse(count) === 2; // true
Err("foo").unwrapOrElse(count) === 3; // true
```

##### and

Returns res if the result is Ok, otherwise returns the Err value of self.

Arguments passed to and are eagerly evaluated; if you are passing the result of a function call, it is recommended to use andThen, which is lazily evaluated.

```ts
const x: Result<number, string> = Ok(2);
const y: Result<string, string> = Err("late error");
x.and(y) === Err("late error"); // true
// another example
const x: Result<number, string> = Err("early error");
const y: Result<string, string> = Ok("foo");
x.and(y) === Err("early error"); // true
// another example
const x: Result<number, string> = Err("not a 2");
const y: Result<string, string> = Err("late error");
x.and(y) === Err("not a 2"); // true
// another example
const x: Result<number, string> = Ok(2);
const y: Result<string, string> = Ok("different result type");
x.and(y) === Ok("different result type"); // true
```

##### andThen

Calls op if the result is `Ok`, otherwise returns the `Err` value of self.

This function can be used for control flow based on `Result` values.

```ts

const sqThenToString = (x: number) => {
    return Ok(x * x).map(sq => sq.toString())
}

Ok(2).andThen(sqThenToString) === Ok(4.toString())); // true
Err("not a number").andThen(sqThenToString) === Err("not a number"); // true
```

##### or

Returns res if the result is Err, otherwise returns the Ok value of self.

Arguments passed to or are eagerly evaluated; if you are passing the result of a function call, it is recommended to use orElse, which is lazily evaluated.

```ts
const x: Result<number, string> = Ok(2);
const y: Result<number, string> = Err("late error");
x.or(y) === Ok(2); // true
// another example
const x: Result<number, string> = Err("early error");
const y: Result<number, string> = Ok(2);
x.or(y) === Ok(2); // true
// another example
const x: Result<number, string> = Err("not a 2");
const y: Result<number, string> = Err("late error");
x.or(y) === Err("late error"); // true
// another example
const x: Result<number, string> = Ok(2);
const y: Result<number, string> = Ok(100);
x.or(y) === Ok(2); // true
```

##### orElse

Calls fn if the result is `Err`, otherwise returns the `Ok` value of self.

This function can be used for control flow based on result values.

```ts
const sq = (x: number) => Ok(x * x);
const err = (x: number) => Err(x);

Ok(2).orElse(sq).orElse(sq) === Ok(2); // true
Ok(2).orElse(err).orElse(sq) === Ok(2); // true
Err(3).orElse(sq).orElse(err) === Ok(9); // true
Err(3).orElse(err).orElse(err) === Err(3); // true
```

##### flatten

Converts from `Result<Result<T, E>, E>` to `Result<T, E>`

```ts
const x: Result<Result<string, number>, number> = Ok(Ok("hello"));
Ok("hello") === x.flatten(); // true

const x: Result<Result<string, number>, number> = Ok(Err(6));
Err(6) === x.flatten(); // true

const x: Result<Result<string, number>, number> = Err(6);
Err(6) === x.flatten(); // true
```

##### Boolean Operators

These methods treat the `Result` as a boolean value, where `Ok` acts like true and `Err` acts like false. There are two categories of these methods: ones that take a `Result` as input, and ones that take a function as input (to be lazily evaluated).

The and and or methods take another `Result` as input, and produce a `Result` as output. The and method can produce a `Result<U, E>` value having a different inner type `U` than `Result<T, E>`. The or method can produce a `Result<T, F>` value having a different error type `F` than `Result<T, E>`.

| method | self   | input     | output |
| ------ | ------ | --------- | ------ |
| `and`  | Err(e) | (ignored) | Err(e) |
| `and`  | Ok(x)  | Err(d)    | Err(d) |
| `and`  | Ok(x)  | Ok(y)     | Ok(y)  |
| `or`   | Err(e) | Err(d)    | Err(d) |
| `or`   | Err(e) | Ok(y)     | Ok(y)  |
| `or`   | Ok(x)  | (ignored) | Ok(x)  |

The `andThen` and `orElse` methods take a function as input, and only evaluate the function when they need to produce a new value. The `andThen` method can produce a `Result<U, E>` value having a different inner type `U` than `Result<T, E>`. The `orElse` method can produce a `Result<T, F>` value having a different error type `F` than `Result<T, E>`.

| method    | self   | function input | function result | output |
| --------- | ------ | -------------- | --------------- | ------ |
| `andThen` | Err(e) | (not provided) | (not evaluated) | Err(e) |
| `andThen` | Ok(x)  | x              | Err(d)          | Err(d) |
| `andThen` | Ok(x)  | x              | Ok(y)           | Ok(y)  |
| `orElse`  | Err(e) | e              | Err(d)          | Err(d) |
| `orElse`  | Err(e) | e              | Ok(y)           | Ok(y)  |
| `orElse`  | Ok(x)  | (not provided) | (not evaluated) | Ok(x)  |

##### toString

Returns string representation of the `Result` value.

```ts
Ok(3).toString(); // Ok(3)
Err(null).toString(); // Err(null)
```

##### valueOf

Returns self value. Not recommended for use but can be useful in some cases.

```ts
Ok(3).valueOf(); // 3
Err(null).valueOf(); // null
Err("qwe").valueOf(); // qwe
```

##### toJSON

Returns JSON representation of the `Result` value. This method is used by `JSON.stringify()`.

Not recommended for use but can be useful in some cases.

```ts
Ok(1).toJSON(); // { status: 'Ok', value: 1 };
Err(null).toJSON(); // { status: 'Err', value: null };
Err("qwe").toJSON(); // { status: 'Err', value: 'qwe' };
```

  console.log("element is:", el);
}
// will prints
// element is: 1
// element is: 2
// element is: 3

const b = Ok(1);
// will throws, Symbol.iterator is not suported for number
for (const el of b) {
  console.log("element is:", el);
}

const c = Ok({
  [Symbol.iterator]() {

`util.inspect` is a node.js feature. See [util.inspect docs](https://nodejs.org/api/util.html#custom-inspection-functions-on-objects)

The `util.inspect()` method returns a string representation of object that is intended for debugging.

Example:

```ts
import util from "node:util";

const a = Ok(4);
util.inspect(a); // Ok(4)
util.inspect(Err("some error")); // Err('some error')
```
