# rust-variant
[](https://badge.fury.io/js/rust-variant)
[](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)
A TypeScript implementation of Rust's Variant, Result, and Option types. This library provides a robust way to handle algebraic data types, error handling, and optional values in TypeScript, inspired by Rust's powerful type system.
## Features
- **Variant Type**: A TypeScript implementation of Rust's enum-like variants.
- **Result Type**: For error handling, similar to Rust's `Result`.
- **Option Type**: For handling optional values, similar to Rust's `Option`.
- **Pattern Matching**: Use the `match` method for elegant pattern matching.
- **Functional Methods**: Includes methods like `map`, `flatMap`, and more for composable operations.
## Installation
Install the package using npm:
```bash
npm install rust-variant
```
Or using yarn:
```bash
yarn add rust-variant
```
Or using pnpm:
```bash
pnpm add rust-variant
```
## Usage
### Importing
```typescript
import { VariantType } from 'rust-variant';
```
### Result Type
Use `Result` for operations that might fail:
```typescript
function divide(a: number, b: number): VariantType.Result {
if (b === 0) {
return VariantType.Result.err('Division by zero');
}
return VariantType.Result.ok(a / b);
}
const result = divide(10, 2);
result.match({
Ok: ({ value }) => console.log(`Result: ${value}`),
Err: ({ error }) => console.log(`Error: ${error}`),
});
```
### Option Type
Use `Option` for values that might not exist:
```typescript
function findEven(numbers: number[]): VariantType.Option {
const even = numbers.find((n) => n % 2 === 0);
return even !== undefined
? VariantType.Option.some(even)
: VariantType.Option.none();
}
const numbers = [1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9];
const evenNumber = findEven(numbers);
evenNumber.match({
Some: ({ value }) => console.log(`Found even number: ${value}`),
None: () => console.log('No even number found'),
});
```
### Custom Variant Types
Create your own variant types:
```typescript
type ShapeTag = 'Circle' | 'Rectangle' | 'Triangle';
type ShapeShape = {
Circle: { radius: number };
Rectangle: { width: number; height: number };
Triangle: { base: number; height: number };
};
abstract class Shape extends VariantType.Variant {
static circle(radius: number): Shape {
return new Circle(radius);
}
static rectangle(width: number, height: number): Shape {
return new Rectangle(width, height);
}
static triangle(base: number, height: number): Shape {
return new Triangle(base, height);
}
}
// Usage
const shape = Shape.circle(5);
shape.match({
Circle: ({ radius }) => console.log(`Circle with radius ${radius}`),
Rectangle: ({ width, height }) =>
console.log(`Rectangle with width ${width} and height ${height}`),
Triangle: ({ base, height }) =>
console.log(`Triangle with base ${base} and height ${height}`),
});
```
## API Reference
### Result
- `ok(value: T): Result`
- `err(error: E): Result`
- `match(handlers: { Ok: (value: T) => R, Err: (error: E) => R }): R`
### Option
- `some(value: T): Option`
- `none(): Option`
- `match(handlers: { Some: (value: T) => R, None: () => R }): R`
- `isSome(): boolean`
- `isNone(): boolean`
- `unwrap(): T`
- `unwrapOr(defaultValue: T): T`
- `map(f: (value: T) => U): Option`
- `flatMap(f: (value: T) => Option): Option`
### Variant
- `match(handlers: { [K in Tag]: (value: Shape[K]) => R }): R`
