# noex

Golang style error handling for `Functions`, `Promises` and `Thenables`.

## Install

Using npm:
```sh
$ npm install noex
```

Using yarn:
```sh
$ yarn add noex
```

## Usage
```js
// ESM
import { noex } from 'noex'
```
```js
// CJS
const { noex } = require('noex')
```

Resolve a Promise:
```js
// as a "tuple"
const [ file, fileError ] = await noex(fs.promises.readFile('someFile'))
// as a "named tuple"
const { value, error } = await noex(fs.promises.readFile('someFile'))
```

Call a Function:
```js
// as a "tuple"
const [ json, jsonError ] = noex(() => JSON.parse('{"success": true}'))
// as a "named tuple"
const { value, error } = noex(() => JSON.parse('{"success": true}'))
```

**Example**
```js
router.get('/api/resource/:id', async (req, res) => {
const [ resource, resourceErr ] = await noex(
resourceService.findById(req.params.id)
)

// database error
if (resourceErr) {
logger.error(resourceErr)
return res.sendStatus(500)
}

// resource not found
if (! resource) {
return res.sendStatus(404)
}

return res.json(resource)
})
```

## API
#### noex(predicate: `Promise`): Promise<[Result](#result-arrayany-error)>
Run a function in a try-catch block and return the result.
```js
const [ content, error ] = await noex(
fs.promises.readFile('path/to/file')
)
```

#### noex(predicate: `Function`): [Result](#result-arrayany-error)
Run a promise or thenable in a try-catch block and return the result.
```js
const [ json, error ] = noex(function () {
return JSON.parse('{ "identity": "Bourne" }')
})
```

#### noex(predicate: `Array|Function>`): Promise](#result-arrayany-error)>>
Run a series of functions, promises and/or thenables and return their results.

```js
const [ res1, res2 ] = await noex([
() => JSON.parse('{ "identity": "Bourne" }'),
fs.promises.readFile('path/to/file')
])
```

#### noex.wrap(fn: `(...args: any[]) => Promise`): (...args: any[]) => Promise<[Result](#result-arrayany-error)>
Wrap a function that returns a promise with noex.
```js
const readFile = noex.wrap(function (file) {
return fs.promises.readFile(file)
})

const [ content, error ] = await readfile('path/to/file')
```
#### noex.wrap(fn: `(...args: any[]) => any`): (...args: any[]) => [Result](#result-arrayany-error)
Wrap a function with noex.
```js
const parseJson = noex.wrap(JSON.parse)

const [ json, error ] = parseJson('{ "identity": "Bourne" }')
```

#### noex.chain(predicates: Array<(...args: any[]) => any>): Promise<[Result](#result-arrayany-error)>
Run the given predicates in sequence, passing the result of each predicate to the next one in the list.
```js
const [ val, err ] = await noex([
() => JSON.parse('{ "identity": "Bourne" }'),
json => json.identity.toUpperCase(),
])
console.log(val) //=> "BOURNE"
```

#### Result: `Array`
The object to hold the resulting value or error of a function, promise or thenable.

Properties:
* **value (`any`)** : The resulting value of a function, promise or thenable.
* **val (`any`)** : Same as value.
* **error (`Error`)** : The error caught by the try-catch block.
* **err (`Error`)** : Same as error.
