fluent result

fluent_result #

fluent_result is a lightweight Dart library developed to solve a common problem. It returns an object indicating success or failure of an operation instead of throwing/using exceptions.

Store multiple errors in one Result object
Store powerful and elaborative Error object instead of only error messages in string format
Designing Errors in an object-oriented way

Usage #
Creating a Result #
Create a result which indicates success
Result result = Result.success();
Result sameResult = Result.ok;
Result sameResult2 = success();
copied to clipboard
Create a result which indicates failure
Result errorResult1 = Result.failWith('a fail reason');
Result errorResult2 = Result.failWith(ResultError('my error message'));
Result errorResult3 = Result.failWith(MyException('exception description'));
Result errorResult4 = Result.failWith(['a fail reason', ResultError('my error message')]);

Result same = fail(MyException('exception description'));
copied to clipboard
Generic ResultOf<T> #
Success result with value:
ResultOf<MyObject> result = ResultOf.success(MyObject());
ResultOf<MyObject> sameResult = successWith(MyObject());
MyObject value = result.value;
copied to clipboard
Fail result with error and without value:
ResultOf<MyObject> result = ResultOf.failWith<MyObject>(ResultError('a fail reason'));
MyObject value = result.value; // is null because of the fail result
copied to clipboard
failIf() and okIf() #
With the methods failIf() and okIf() you can also write in a more readable way:
final result1 = Result.failIf(() => firstName.isEmpty, "First Name is empty");
final result2 = Result.okIf(() => firstName.isNotEmpty, 'First name should not be empty');

Try #
Sync
final res = Result.trySync(() {
throw 'Some exception';
});

res.isFail.should.beTrue();
res.errorMessage.should.be('Some exception');
copied to clipboard
Async
final res = await Result.tryAsync(() async {
await Future.delayed(const Duration(seconds: 2));
print('Done');
});

res.isSuccess.should.beTrue();
copied to clipboard
Fold #
Result res = fail('error reason');
res.fold(
onFail: (errors) {
// process errors
},
onSuccess: () {
// process success path
},
);
copied to clipboard
ResultOf<String> resultWithData = successWith('someData');
resultWithData.foldWithValue(
onFail: (errors) {
// process errors
},
onSuccess: (data) {
// process success path with data
},
);
copied to clipboard
Converting Result to another #
To convert one success result to another success result has to be provided a valueConverter function.
final anotherResult =
result.map((customer) => User(customer.id));
copied to clipboard
To convert one fail result to another fail result
final anotherResult = failResult.map<Customer>();
copied to clipboard
Custom errors #
To make your codebase more robust. Create your own error collection of the App by extending ResultError.

class InvalidPasswordError extends ResultError {
const InvalidPasswordError(String message)
: super(message);
}

class CustomerNotFound extends ResultError {
const CustomerNotFound({
required this.customerId,
}) : super('Customer not found with ID $customerId');

final int customerId;

@override
String toString() => message;
}
copied to clipboard
Collect errors #
For example, easy to work with errors which comes from HTTP API.
final err1 = CustomerNotFound(customerId: 1);
final res = Result.fail(err1);

final err2 = InvalidPasswordError('The password 123456 is invalid');
res.add(err2);

res.contains<InvalidPasswordError>(); // true
res.get<InvalidPasswordError>().should.not.beNull();
copied to clipboard
Exception handler matchers #
ResultConfig.exceptionHandlerMatchers = {
DioError: (e) {
print('🟠 DIO FAIL RESULT: $e');
final failure = ResultOf.failWith(DioErrorResult(e as DioError));
return failure;
},
};
