result-types

You can handle errors in TypeScript without try-catch blocks by using a discriminated union Result type. This approach represents success and failure outcomes as plain objects with data and error properties, making your application's control flow more predictable and easier to debug.

A Result type in functional programming is a discriminated union that represents either a successful value or an error. For async operations, it converts exceptions into predictable Result objects, allowing you to safely manage success and failure states without throwing exceptions.

To safely wrap async API fetch calls that might throw network errors, use a tryAsync utility. This function wraps the asynchronous operation and converts potential exceptions, such as network failures or invalid JSON responses, into a structured Result object for graceful error handling.

Yes, the Result type approach works for synchronous JSON parsing operations by using a trySync utility. It safely wraps the synchronous synchronous parsing logic and converts any thrown exceptions into a predictable Result object containing either the parsed data or the error.

The best way to convert exceptions into predictable objects for control flow is using a Result type pattern. By wrapping operations in trySync or tryAsync utilities, you transform runtime exceptions into plain objects with data and error properties for easier debugging.
