Just a simple framework for wrapping return types into a single object: Result.
We got inspiration for that framework from:
- the Try feature from javaslang,
- the Result Kotlin framework produced by @kittinunf,
The goal of that framework is to use a single output for each and every method we write: Result.
That wrapper will allow to indicate either the response of a method is a success or a failure, and will allow to act on that result.
Also, our main goal for that framework is for it to be the easiest possible to use.
Add this repository in your Maven pom.xml:
<repositories>
<repository>
<snapshots>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</snapshots>
<id>central</id>
<name>bintray</name>
<url>http://jcenter.bintray.com</url>
</repository>
</repositories>And then this dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.github.ktoolz</groupId>
<artifactId>rezult</artifactId>
<version>1.2.0</version>
</dependency>Result allows you to wrap any code execution in order to catch the Exceptions you might encounter and retrieve a Failure instead:
// Computing a Result and chaining operations:
val res = Result.of { operation() }
.logSuccess { println("It Worked!") }
.logFailure { println("It Failed!") }
.validate { this.length > 0 }
.logFailure { println("Size isn't good.") }
.withSuccess { register(this) }
.onFailure { rollback(it) }
// Checking a Result in your code
when {
res.isSuccess() -> println("Success!")
res.isFailure() -> println("Failure!")
res.contains("Hello") -> println("Correct content!")
}
// Retrieving the value of a Result
var value = res or "Default value"
// You can also write it:
value = res.getOrElse { "Default value" } // Computing a Result and chaining operations:
Result<String> res = Result.of(() -> operation())
.logSuccess($ -> System.out.println("It Worked!"))
.logFailure($ -> System.out.println("It Failed!"))
.validate(s -> s.length() > 0)
.logFailure($ -> System.out.println("Size isn't good."))
.withSuccess(s -> register(s))
.onFailure(e -> rollback(e));
// Checking a Result in your code
if(res.isSuccess()) {
System.out.println("Success!");
} else if(res.isFailure()) {
System.out.println("Failure!");
} else if(res.contains("Hello")) {
System.out.println("Correct content!")
}
// Retrieving the value of a Result
String value = res.or("Default value");
// You can also write it:
value = res.getOrElse("Default value");Want to see rezult in action? Just have a look at our Spek tests to get examples of all the features included in rezult.
