defmodule OK do
@moduledoc """
The `OK` module enables clean and expressive error handling when coding with
idiomatic `:ok`/`:error` tuples. We've included many examples in the function
docs here, but you can also check out the
[README](https://github.com/CrowdHailer/OK/blob/master/README.md) for more
details and usage.
Feel free to [open an issue](https://github.com/CrowdHailer/OK/issues) for
any questions that you have.

@doc """
Applies a function to the interior value of a result tuple.
If the tuple is tagged `:ok` the value will be mapped by the function.
A tuple tagged `:error` will be unchanged.
## Examples
iex> OK.map({:ok, 2}, fn (x) -> 2 * x end)
{:ok, 4}
iex> OK.map({:error, :some_reason}, fn (x) -> 2 * x end)
{:error, :some_reason}

@doc """
Takes a result tuple and a next function.
If the result tuple is tagged as a success then its value will be passed to the next function.
If the tag is failure then the next function is skipped.

Transform every element of a list with a mapping function.
The mapping function must return a result tuple.
If all of the result tuples are tagged :ok, then it returns a list tagged with :ok.

The OK result pipe operator `~>>`, or result monad flat_map operator, is similar
to Elixir's native `|>` except it is used within happy path. It takes the
value out of an `{:ok, value}` tuple and passes it as the first argument to
the function call on the right.
It can be used in several ways.
Pipe to a local call.<br />
_(This is equivalent to calling `double(5)`)_
iex> {:ok, 5} ~>> double()
{:ok, 10}
Pipe to a remote call.<br />
_(This is equivalent to calling `OKTest.double(5)`)_
iex> {:ok, 5} ~>> OKTest.double()
{:ok, 10}
iex> {:ok, 5} ~>> __MODULE__.double()
{:ok, 10}
Pipe with extra arguments.<br />
_(This is equivalent to calling `safe_div(6, 2)`)_
iex> {:ok, 6} ~>> safe_div(2)
{:ok, 3.0}
iex> {:ok, 6} ~>> safe_div(0)
{:error, :zero_division}
It also works with anonymous functions.
iex> {:ok, 3} ~>> (fn (x) -> {:ok, x + 1} end).()
{:ok, 4}
iex> {:ok, 6} ~>> decrement().(2)

When an error is returned anywhere in the pipeline, it will be returned.

@doc """
Lightweight notation for working with the values from serval failible components.
Values are extracted from an ok tuple using the in (`<-`) operator.
Any line using this operator that trys to match on an error tuple will result in early return.
If all bindings can be made, i.e. all functions returned `{:ok, value}`,
then the after block is executed to return the final value.
Return values from the after block are wrapped as an ok result,
unless they are already a result tuple.
The return value of a for comprehension is always a result monad
