DEPRECATED

Personally - I recommend using ajel instead. Follow this link to see the new api.

ajel-go

Installation

yarn add ajel-go eslint-plugin-ajel-go

pnpm add ajel-go eslint-plugin-ajel-go

Example usage

// Handling async functions that throw
import { ajel } from 'ajel-go';

async function main() {
  const [result, err] = await ajel(Promise.resolve('hello world'));

  if (err) {
    return err;
  }

  return result;
}

// Handling synchronous functions that throw
import { sjel } from 'ajel';

function main() {
  const [res, err] = sjel(fs.readFileSync)(path, { encoding: 'utf8' });

  if (err) {
    return err;
  }

  return result;
}

ajel and sjel are a set of functions that return a tuple representing a potential result and a potential error. On success, the result item has value. On error, the error item has value. It's that simple.

More interestingly, it comes with a series of linting tools to help enforce the paradigm available in the package eslint-plugin-ajel
