RA.Utilities.Core 10.0.100-rc.2​

NuGet version

This is the initial release of RA.Utilities.Core, a lightweight .NET library designed to enhance error handling by providing a functional Result type. It helps you write cleaner, more predictable, and more robust code by avoiding exceptions for expected operational failures.

✨ Key Features​

  • Functional Result and Result<T> Types:

    • Provides Result for operations that don't return a value and Result<T> for those that do.
    • Clearly separates success and failure paths, making your code's intent explicit.
    • The Match method ensures that both success and failure cases are handled, preventing unhandled errors.

  • Railway-Oriented Programming Extensions:

    • Includes a fluent API for chaining multiple operations that can fail.
    • Map(): Transforms the value inside a successful Result<T>.
    • Bind(): Chains multiple functions that each return a Result.
    • OnSuccess() / OnFailure(): Executes side-effects like logging without altering the result.

  • Asynchronous Support:

    • Provides async versions of all extension methods (MapAsync, BindAsync, etc.) to seamlessly integrate with asynchronous workflows.

  • Implicit Conversions:

    • Simplifies your code by allowing implicit conversions from a value to a success Result<T> and from an Exception to a failure Result.

🚀 Getting Started​

Install the package via the .NET CLI:

dotnet add package RA.Utilities.Core
