Example

Here's a simple example of a function that just wants to throw if the value it looks up is nil / undefined.

import { must } from "@rbxts/must";

export class Foo {
  public bar() {
    const fetchedValue = must(fetchSomeValue());
    
    // more logic
  }
}

local must = require(path.to.modules["must"]).must

local Foo = {}
Foo.__index = Foo

function new()
  local self = {}
  setmetatable(self, Foo)

  return self
end

function Foo:bar()
  local fetchedValue = must(fetchSomeValue())

  -- more logic
end

return {
  new = new
}
