Bebop.Monads

This project provides the following monads:

• Maybe
• Try

This library is:

• netstandard2.0
• strong-name signed
• CLS compliant

Maybe

This represents the Maybe (or Option) monad.

var m = Maybe.From("these pretzels are making me thirsty");
var n = Maybe.Nothing<int>(); 

var x = m.OrElse("yada yada yada"); // yields "these pretzels ..."
var y = n.OrElse(17); // yields 17

See full documentation for Maybe;

Try

This represents an exceptional monad that can be used to construct lazy chains of action and catch blocks.

var result = await Try
    .Do(() => "I will succeed.")
    .ThenAsync(async x => x + " Oh will you?")
    .Then(_ => throw new InvalidOperationException())
    .Catch<InvalidOperationException>(ex => 
    {
        Log.WriteError("Operation did not succeed");
        return "failed";
    });

See full documentation for Try;

Unit

This represents the functional unit type.

var u = default(Unit);
