Description

A compact results library similar to FluentResults, offering all essential features for effective error handling and response management.

How to Use the Library

The library offers four main result types, each suited for different scenarios:

1. Result: Indicates a simple success or failure of an operation.
2. Result<T>: Returns a value if the operation is successful.
3. Result<T, TError>: Returns a value or a custom error if the operation fails.
4. SuccessOr<TError>: Indicates success or returns a custom error for operations that do not return a value.

Result

Use Result to simply indicate the success or failure of an operation.

Usage Example

Result DoWork()  
{  
    if (isOperationSuccessful) 
    {        
        return Result.Ok();  
    }    
    else  
    {  
        return Result.Fail("Operation is unsuccessful"); 
    }
}

Properties

Result result = DoWork(); 

result.IsSuccess; 
result.IsFailure;
result.ErrorMessage; 

• IsSuccess: Returns true if the operation was successful.
• IsFailure Returns true if the operation failed.
• ErrorMessage: Provides the error message if the operation failed.

Result<T>

Use Result<T> when the operation needs to return a value upon success.

Usage Example

Result<int> DoWork()  
{  
    int valueToReturn = 123;
    if (isOperationSuccessful)  
    {        
        return Result.Ok(valueToReturn);  
    }    
    else  
    {  
        return Result.Fail("Operation is unsuccessful");  
    }
}

Properties

Result<int> result = DoWork(); 

result.IsSuccess; 
result.IsFailure;
result.Value; 
result.ErrorMessage; 

• IsSuccess: Indicates if the operation was successful.
• IsFailure: Indicates if the operation failed.
• Value: The value returned by the operation (e.g., 123).
• ErrorMessage: The error message if the operation failed.

Result<T, TError>

Use Result<T, TError> to return either a value upon success or a custom error if the operation fails.

Usage Example

Result<int, CustomError> DoWork()  
{  
    int valueToReturn = 123;  
    if (isOperationSuccessful)  
    {        
        return Result.Ok(valueToReturn);  
    }    
    else  
    {  
        return Result.Fail(new CustomError(666, "Error message")); 
    }
}

Custom Error Class

public class CustomError
{  
    public int StatusCode { get; init; }  
    public string Message { get; init; }  

    public CustomError(int statusCode, string message)  
    {  
        StatusCode = statusCode;  
        Message = message;  
    }
}

Properties

Result<int, CustomError> result = DoWork(); 

result.IsSuccess; 
result.IsFailure;
result.Value; 
result.Error; 

• IsSuccess: Whether the operation succeeded.
• IsFailure: Indicates if the operation failed.
• Value: The value returned if successful.
• Error: The custom error returned if the operation failed.

SuccessOr<TError>

Use SuccessOr<TError> for operations that don't return a value but may fail with a custom error.

Usage Example

SuccessOr<CustomError> DoWork()  
{  
    if (isOperationSuccessful)  
    {        
        return Result.Ok();  
    }    
    else  
    {  
        return Result.Fail(new CustomError(666, "Error message"));  
    }
}

Properties

SuccessOr<CustomError> result = DoWork(); 

result.IsSuccess; 
result.IsFailure;
result.Error; 

• IsSuccess: Indicates if the operation was successful.
• IsFailure: Indicates if the operation failed.
• Error: The custom error returned if the operation failed.
