SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides functional programming safety for Golang by using samber/mo monads, which help avoid nil pointer panics, improve error handling, and support functional composition with zero dependencies.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Option[T]: Represents nullable values safely without nil checks.
  • Result[T]: Handles errors as values for composable error handling.
  • Either[L, R]: Provides a discriminative union for two valid alternatives.
  • Future[T]: Represents asynchronous values for non-blocking computations.
  • IO[T]: Wraps synchronous side effects for lazy execution.
  • Task[T]: Delays async computations until explicitly executed.
  • State[S, A]: Threads state through computations while producing results.
  • Use Case: When developing Golang applications that require functional programming patterns for safety and composability.

Quick Start

Use the golang-samber-mo skill to apply monadic safety patterns to your Golang codebase.

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

To avoid nil pointer panics, use the Option[T] monad from the samber/mo library to represent nullable values safely without explicit nil checks. It encapsulates the presence or absence of a value functionally.

What is the best way to handle errors as values for composable error handling in Golang?

Using the Result[T] monad is the best way to handle errors as values for composable error handling in Golang. This functional programming pattern wraps computations to chain operations safely without exceptions.

How do I perform non-blocking asynchronous computations using functional programming in Golang?

You perform non-blocking asynchronous computations using the Future[T] monad to represent asynchronous values. The Task[T] monad further delays these async computations until explicitly executed.

Does the samber/mo library support state threading through functional computations in Golang?

Yes, the samber/mo library supports state threading through functional computations in Golang using the State[S, A] monad. It threads state through computations while producing results safely.

Can I use samber/mo monads to wrap synchronous side effects for lazy execution in Golang?

Yes, you can wrap synchronous side effects for lazy execution in Golang using the IO[T] monad. This pattern ensures side effects are controlled and deferred until explicitly evaluated.

Do I need additional libraries to use specific monad types with the samber/mo library?

While the samber/mo library provides core monadic types with zero dependencies, implementing specific monadic patterns may require additional libraries. This supports proper functional composition for specific use cases.
