## Overview
Java’s standard `java.util.function` interfaces are not compatible with checked exceptions. This leads to verbose and cluttered code, requiring manual try-catch blocks for exception handling, which makes one-liners like this:
```
path -> new URI(path)
```
become as verbose as:
```
path -> {
try {
return new URI(path);
} catch (URISyntaxException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
```
This library introduces checked-exception-enabled functional interfaces, like `ThrowingFunction`, allowing cleaner, more concise code. You can now handle exceptions in functional pipelines without sacrificing readability:
ThrowingFunction toUri = URI::new;
Using the `ThrowingFunction#unchecked` adapter, this can be seamlessly integrated into standard streams:
...stream()
.map(unchecked(URI::new)) // static import of ThrowingFunction#unchecked
.forEach(System.out::println);
This eliminates the need for bulky try-catch blocks within stream operations:
...stream().map(path -> {
try {
return new URI(path);
} catch (URISyntaxException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}}).forEach(System.out::println);
### Key Features
- Functional Interfaces: Supports various functional types with checked exceptions.
- Adapters: Provides utility methods to convert `Throwing*` types into standard Java functional interfaces.
- Lightweight: No external dependencies, implemented using core Java libraries.
### Core API

- [ThrowingIntFunction](https://github.com/pivovarit/throwing-function/blob/master/src/main/java/com/pivovarit/function/ThrowingIntFunction.java)
- [ThrowingToLongFunction](https://github.com/pivovarit/throwing-function/blob/master/src/main/java/com/pivovarit/function/ThrowingToLongFunction.java)
- [ThrowingBiConsumer](https://github.com/pivovarit/throwing-function/blob/master/src/main/java/com/pivovarit/function/ThrowingBiConsumer.java)
- [ThrowingBiFunction](https://github.com/pivovarit/throwing-function/blob/master/src/main/java/com/pivovarit/function/ThrowingBiFunction.java)

- [ThrowingSupplier](https://github.com/pivovarit/throwing-function/blob/master/src/main/java/com/pivovarit/function/ThrowingSupplier.java)
- [ThrowingUnaryOperator](https://github.com/pivovarit/throwing-function/blob/master/src/main/java/com/pivovarit/function/ThrowingUnaryOperator.java)
#### Adapters
+ `static Function unchecked(ThrowingFunction<> f) {...}`
Transforms a `ThrowingFunction` instance into a standard `java.util.function.Function` by wrapping checked exceptions in a `RuntimeException` and rethrowing them.
+ `static Function> lifted() {...}`
Transforms a `ThrowingFunction` instance into a regular `Function` returning result wrapped in an `Optional` instance.
+ `default ThrowingFunction asFunction() {...}`
Returns `Throwing(Predicate|Supplier|Consumer`) instance as a new `ThrowingFunction` instance.
