AInq.Optional GitHub release (latest by date) GitHub

AInq

What is it?

Simple optional types with basic helpers and converters

  • Maybe<T> value or nothing
  • Try<T> value or error
  • Either<TLeft, TRight> value either value

Nuget AInq.Optional - Types and basic helpers

Nuget AInq.Optional.Async - Async helpers and extensions

New in 4.1

Large refactoring and internal optimization with some breaking changes

  • Remove build targets for STS .Net versions
  • System.Linq is used for collection extensions, which may cause minor behavior changes
  • System.Linq.AsyncEnumerable is used in .net10 with minor API changes
  • Change some methods to remove ambiguity
    • Rename Maybe.AsTry to Maybe.TryValue
    • Rename Try.AsMaybe to Try.MaybeValue
    • Rename converter Maybe.Or to Maybe.EitherValue
    • Make bool cast operators explicit
  • Remove all Try<T> extensions, which can implicitly hide exceptions
  • Try.MaybeValue now throw exception if source is not success, introduced flag to suppress this
  • Save exception stacktrace in Try<T>
  • New APIs
    • | (or) operator for Maybe<T>
    • ! (not) operator for Maybe<T> and Try<T>
    • ! (invert) operator for Either<TLeft, TRight>
    • Maybe.Values collection extension with filtering
    • Try.Result with additional generator parameter

New in 3.0

For version 3.0 this lib was completely rewritten with some breaking changes

  • All types are now class instead of struct
  • Remove some logically obscure methods
    • IComparable implementation (problems with comparing null and empty item)
    • Type cast operators (unused)
    • Try.SelectOrDefault and Try.ValueOrDefault (implicitly hides error, can be replaced with Try.AsMaybe)
  • Async extensions completely rewritten using ValueTask and moved to separate package
