map3
Namespace:
FsToolkit.ErrorHandling('a -> 'b -> 'c -> 'd) -> Result<'a, 'e> -> Result<'b, 'e>
-> Result<'c, 'e> -> Result<'d, 'e>
Note: Many use-cases requiring
map operations can also be solved using the result computation expression.Let's assume that we have an
add function that adds three numbers:// int -> int -> int -> int
let add a b c = a + b + c
And an another function that converts a string to an integer:
// string -> Result<int, string>
let tryParseInt str =
match System.Int32.TryParse str with
| true, x -> Ok x
| false, _ ->
Error (sprintf "unable to parse '%s' to integer" str)
With the help of
Result.map3 function, we can now do the following:let okResult =
Result.map3 add (tryParseInt "35") (tryParseInt "5") (tryParseInt "2")
// Ok 42
let errorResult =
Result.map3 add (tryParseInt "40") (tryParseInt "foobar") (tryParseInt "2")
// Error "unable to parse 'foobar' to integer"
Let's assume that we have the following types in addition to the types that we saw in the map2 example to model a request for posting a tweet:
type UserId = UserId of Guid
type Tweet = private Tweet of string with
member this.Value = let (Tweet tweet) = this in tweet
static member TryCreate (tweet : string) =
if String.IsNullOrEmpty(tweet) then
Error "Tweet shouldn't be empty"
elif tweet.Length > 280 then
Error "Tweet shouldn't contain more than 280 characters"
else Ok (Tweet x)
type CreatePostRequest =
{ UserId : UserId
Tweet : Tweet
Location : Location option }
static member Create userId lat long tweet =
{ Tweet = tweet
Location = Some (location lat long)
UserId = userId }
Then, we can use the
Result.map3 function as below to create the CreatePostRequest with validation:let validLatR = Latitude.TryCreate 13.067439
let validLngR = Longitude.TryCreate 80.237617
let validTweetR = Tweet.TryCreate "Hello, World!"
let userId = UserId (Guid.NewGuid())
let result =
Result.map3 (CreatePostRequest.Create userId) validLatR validLngR validTweetR
(* Ok {UserId = UserId 6c0fb13f-ff91-46c7-a486-201257f18877;
Tweet = Tweet "Hello, World!";
Location = Some {Latitude = Latitude 13.067439;
Longitude = Longitude 80.237617;};} *)
When we try with an invalid latitude value, we'll get the following result:
let invalidLatR = Latitude.TryCreate 200.
let result =
Result.map3 (CreatePostRequest.Create userId) invalidLatR validLngR validTweetR
// Error "200.0 is a invalid latitude value"
