map

Transforms the value inside of a Result structure with an unary function without changing the context of the computation. That is, Error values continue to be Error values, and Ok values continue to be Ok values.

This feature is experimental!

This API is still experimental, so it may change or be removed in future versions. You should not rely on it for production applications.

Signature

Type(what is this?)

forall a, b, c:
  (Result a b).((b) => c) => Result a c

Documentation

Example:

const Result = require('folktale/result');

function increment(value) {
  return value + 1;
}

Result.Ok(1).map(increment);
// ==> Result.Ok(2)

Result.Error(1).map(increment);
// ==> Result.Error(1)
