Function mapErr

Map over a Ok, exactly as in map, but operating on the value wrapped in an Err instead of the value wrapped in the Ok. This is handy for when you need to line up a bunch of different types of errors, or if you need an error of one shape to be in a different shape to use somewhere else in your codebase.

Examples

import { ok, err, mapErr, toString } from 'true-myth/result';

const reason = (err: { code: number, reason: string }) => err.reason;

const anOk = ok(12);
const mappedOk = mapErr(reason, anOk);
console.log(toString(mappedOk));  // Ok(12)

const anErr = err({ code: 101, reason: 'bad file' });
const mappedErr = mapErr(reason, anErr);
console.log(toString(mappedErr));  // Err(bad file)
Copy
