SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Go code often struggles with nil handling, error propagation, and rigid type systems. samber/mo provides Option, Result, and Either monads to model absence and failure explicitly, enabling safer, more predictable code through composable pipelines.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Option[T] for explicit optional values with safe access and JSON/DB readiness.
  • Result[T] for representing success or failure in a pipeline, with helpers for mapping and chaining.
  • Either[L, R] for discriminated unions when two valid alternatives exist.
  • Do notation and pipeline sub-packages to compose multi-step transformations.
  • Cross-package interoperability with the option/result/either subsystems for complex workflows.

Quick Start

Install the module in your Go project, import the monads (Option, Result, Either), and start building monadic pipelines for safe nullable values and errors.

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

To handle nullable values safely in Go, you can use the Option[T] monad to model optional values explicitly. This ensures safe access and supports JSON and database readiness by avoiding direct nil checks.

What is the best way to propagate errors through a Go functional pipeline?

The best way to propagate errors in a Go functional pipeline is using the Result[T] monad. It represents success or failure explicitly and provides helpers for mapping and chaining operations without disrupting the pipeline flow.

Can I represent discriminated unions in Go for two distinct valid outcomes?

Yes, you can represent discriminated unions in Go using the Either[L, R] monad. It models scenarios where two valid alternatives exist, allowing your code to handle both left and right states safely.

How do I compose multi-step transformations in Go using monads?

You can compose multi-step transformations in Go using Do notation and pipeline sub-packages. These features allow you to chain Option, Result, and Either monads together for complex functional workflows.

Do I need a specific framework to use functional programming pipelines in Go?

No specific framework is required, but you need a standard Go project environment. You simply install the samber/mo module and import the monadic types to start building type-safe functional pipelines for error handling and nullable values.
