Rust-like Enums in TS

TS implementation of Rust-like enums (e.g. Option<T>, Result<T, E>)

Just like in rust, this makes you able to use enums with custom values. It works with Typescript.

Installation

For Node:

npm i rusty-enums

For Deno:

import { /* imports you use */ } from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/rusty-enums?dts'

Usage

import { Result, Ok, Err, Option, Some, None } from 'rusty-enums'

const hello = {} as {
    dessert: Option<string>,
    success: Result<number, Error>
}
hello.dessert = Some('Pudding')

console.log(
      "I will eat some "+
      hello.dessert.unwrap_or('Apple') // if `hello.dessert` is `None`, 'Apple' will be returned.
)

hello.success = Ok(34)  // You can do `Result.Ok(34)` as well
const num = hello.success.match({
    Ok: (value) => value * 3,
    _: () => 0  // You can choose to abbreviate several variants
})

// convert Result<T, E> to Option<T>

const r1: Result<number, string> = Ok(45)
const o1 = r1.ok() //  type: `Option<number>`

// convert Option<T> to Result<T, E>

const o2: Option<number> = Some(3)
const r2 = o2.ok_or('o2 is none') // type: `Result<number, string>`

Define your own Enum

EnumBase class is provided.

class MyEnum<T> extends EnumBase<{ A: T, B: T, Nope: undefined }> {
  static A<NT>(data: NT): MyEnum<NT> {
    return new MyEnum('A', data)
  }
  static Nope = new MyEnum<any>('Nope', undefined)
  
  // -- snip ---
}
const myEnum = MyEnum.A(56) // MyEnum<number>
myEnum.match({
  A: (num)=> console.log(`variant A and value is ${num}`),
  B: (num)=> console.log(`variant B and value is ${num}`),
  Nope: () => console.log(`variant Nope`),
})
