# FsToolkit.ErrorHandling

**FsToolkit.ErrorHandling** is a utility library to work with the `Result` type in F#, and allows you to do clear, simple and powerful error handling.

The library provides utility functions like `map`, `bind`, `apply`, `traverse`, `sequence` as well as computation expressions and infix operators to work with `Result<'a, 'b>`, `Result<'a option, 'b>`, `Async>`, `Async>`, and `Result<'a, 'b list>`.

It was inspired by [Chessie](https://github.com/fsprojects/Chessie) and Cvdm.ErrorHandling (the latter has now been merged into FsToolkit.ErrorHandling).

FsToolkit.ErrorHandling targets .NET Standard 2.0 and .NET Framework 4.6.1 and supports Fable.

## Developing locally

### Devcontainer
This repository has a devcontainer setup for VSCode. For more infomation see:
- [VSCode](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/devcontainers/containers)

### Local Setup

* [.NET Core SDK](https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/)
* [v6.x](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/6.0)
* [v7.x](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/7.0)

#### Optional

To test fable builds locally you will need:

* [Node](https://nodejs.org/en/)
* v18.0.0 or Higher
* Not required but recommend that you use [NVM](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm) to easily manage multiple versions of Node
* [Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/)
* v3.10.0 or higher
* Required for Fable-Python

#### Compiling

```bash
> build.cmd // on windows
$ ./build.sh // on unix
```

Without specifying a build target, the default target is `DotnetPack`, which will run tests for all projects on dotnet and then pack the projects into nuget packages. For additional notable targets see below.

##### Build Targets

- `Clean` - Will clean all projects `bin` and `obj` folders
- `DotnetTest` - Will run tests for `dotnet` projects
- `NpmTest` - Will run tests for `fable-javascript` projects
- `PythonTest` - Will run tests for `fable-python` projects
- `RunTests` - Will run tests for `dotnet`, `fable-javascript` and `fable-python` projects
- `FormatCode` - Will run `fantomas` to format the codebase

This is not an exhausting list. Additional targets can be found in the `./build/build.fs` file.

A motivating example
--------------------

This example of composing a login flow shows one example of how this library can aid in clear, simple, and powerful error handling, using just a computation expression and a few helper functions. (The library has many more helper functions and computation expressions as well as infix operators; see [the documentation](https://demystifyfp.gitbook.io/fstoolkit-errorhandling) for details.)

```f#
// Given the following functions:
// tryGetUser: string -> Async
// isPwdValid: string -> User -> bool
// authorize: User -> Async>
// createAuthToken: User -> Result

type LoginError = InvalidUser | InvalidPwd | Unauthorized of AuthError | TokenErr of TokenError

let login (username: string) (password: string) : Async> =
asyncResult {
// requireSome unwraps a Some value or gives the specified error if None
let! user = username |> tryGetUser |> AsyncResult.requireSome InvalidUser

// requireTrue gives the specified error if false
do! user |> isPwdValid password |> Result.requireTrue InvalidPwd

// Error value is wrapped/transformed (Unauthorized has signature AuthError -> LoginError)
do! user |> authorize |> AsyncResult.mapError Unauthorized

// Same as above, but synchronous, so we use the built-in mapError
return! user |> createAuthToken |> Result.mapError TokenErr
}
```
