SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires github.com/samber/mo, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill introduces functional programming safety to Go, enabling type-safe nullable values, error handling, and functional composition using samber/mo monadic types.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Monadic Types: Provides Option, Result, Either, Future, IO, Task, and State types for safe nullable values and error handling.
  • Functional Composition: Supports functional programming patterns with zero dependencies, inspired by Scala, Rust, and fp-ts.
  • Use Case: Ideal for Go engineers integrating samber/mo into their projects or for those considering functional programming as a safety design.

Quick Start

To install and use the golang-samber-mo skill, run:

go get github.com/samber/mo

FAQPage Schema
How do I handle nullable values safely in Go without nil pointer panics?

Use samber/mo monadic types to handle nullable values safely in Go. The Option type provides type-safe null handling, eliminating runtime nil panics by forcing explicit value presence checks.

What is the best way to handle errors functionally in Go?

Functional error handling in Go is achieved using samber/mo Result and Either types. These monadic types encapsulate success and failure states, enabling safe error propagation without traditional try-catch blocks.

How do I install samber/mo to start using monadic types in my Go project?

Install samber/mo in your Go project by running the command `go get github.com/samber/mo`. This requires a working Go environment and adds the library to your dependency tree.

Can I use functional composition patterns like Scala or Rust in Go?

Yes, you can use functional composition in Go with samber/mo. It supports monadic types like Option, Result, Either, and IO, bringing functional programming safety inspired by Scala and Rust to Go projects.

Does samber/mo introduce external dependencies to my Go application?

No, samber/mo is designed with zero external dependencies. It provides monadic types for functional programming in Go without adding bloat to your application's dependency tree.

When should I not use monadic types for error handling in Go?

Avoid monadic types in Go for simple scripts where native error returns suffice. Monadic types like Option and Result add abstraction overhead best suited for complex logic requiring strict type safety.
