Features and Code Samples

Using Try

// Example of using Try for exception-safe code
Try<Uri> CreateUri(string uri) => () => new Uri(uri);
    
var uriTry = CreateUri("http://github.com");

uriTry.Run().Match(
        Success: uri => Assert.NotNull(uri),
        Exception: ex => Fail()
);

Working with Option

// Example of using Option to handle optional values
Option<User> userOption = GetUserById(userId);
userOption.Match(
    Some: user => Console.WriteLine("User found: " + user.Name),
    None: () => Console.WriteLine("User not found"));

Understanding Monads

In Functional.DotNet, we delve into the concept of monads, such as Try and Option, to handle various computational contexts in a more functional way.
