Disable exception handling. Open this module with you don't want to catch exceptions.

type 'a value = ('a, error) Result.result

An alias for Pervasives.result that can only work with errors of your project.

type 'a result = 'a value UserMonad.t

This type describes a result monad inside a project.

For example, if the concrete module is built on top of Lwt, a value of type unit result will be translated as (unit, error) Pervasives.result Lwt.t.

val (>>=) : 'a result -> ('a -> 'b result) -> 'b result

This combinator is also called bind.

It can be used to chain sequential operations with the current monad. If the computation in the left failed, the operator will propagate the error, skipping the function completely.

val bind : 'a result -> ('a -> 'b result) -> 'b result

Similar to S.Result.bind

val bind_unless : 'a result -> (error -> 'a result) -> 'a result
val map : 'a result -> ('a -> 'b) -> 'b result

Similar to S.Result.map

val return : 'a -> 'a result

Similar to S.Result.return

val throw : error -> 'a result

Similar to S.Result.throw

module Infix : sig ... end
val unwrap : 'a value UserMonad.t -> 'a UserMonad.t

Unwraps the successful value as a normal value in the threading monad. If the value is not successful, it will raise an Invalid_arg exception.

val unwrap_or : (error -> 'a UserMonad.t) -> 'a value UserMonad.t -> 'a UserMonad.t

Unwraps the successful value as a value in the threading monad. Different from unwrap, you can assign an error handler to be executed if the computation failed.

val expect : 'a value UserMonad.t -> string -> 'a UserMonad.t

Extracts a successful value from an computation, or raises and Invalid_arg exception with a customized error message.
