Optional type using Go 1.18 generics.

go.eth-p.dev/goptional

Generic Optional (or Go Optional, if you prefer)

goptional is a package that provides an implementation of an Optional[T] monad using Go 1.18 generics.

Installation

import (
    "go.eth-p.dev/goptional"
)

Why goptional?

  • Prevents you from using uninitialized values.
  • No code generation required.
  • Type-safe API.
  • Supports marshalling and unmarshalling. (TODO)

Example

import (
    "os"
    
    optional "go.eth-p.dev/goptional"
)

func getConfigDirectory() optional.Optional[string] {
    return optional.From(os.LookupEnv("XDG_CONFIG_HOME"))
}

func main() {
    configDir := getConfigDirectory().
        UnwrapOr("~/.config")
    
    println(configDir)
}
