Option

Hey guys,

Have you planned to implement the Option type/class ?

[supermacro]

Using Options with neverthrow is, in my opinion, just a matter of using a pattern such as the above to use whichever Option implementation a user may want.

Now - if the problem is that current Option implementations aren’t “good” for whatever reason, then that’s something I’m open to discussing. But realistically that would still live in its own repo / npm lib.

@supermacro are you still considering adding an Option to neverthrow?

Introducing Result has been a game changer for some of our teams in terms of enabling them to write JavaScript in a more pure, functional style without too much overhead. The only thing we are missing is an Option to so we can “never null” as well as “never throw” 😉 .

It looks like there might be a few libraries out there we could use, but I’d far prefer using one with a similar implementation and API to neverthrow. If it is something you are still considering, I would be interested in contributing, too.

Thanks for a great library!
