Methods

ap

    Resembles map, but the passed mapping function is lifted in the Either context.

    Type parameters

    • B

    Parameters

    Returns Option<B>

chain

  • chain<B>(f: function): Option<B>

contains

  • contains(elem: A): boolean
  • Returns true if this option is nonempty and the value it holds is equal to the given elem.

    Parameters

    • elem: A

    Returns boolean

equals

  • equals(that: Option<A>): boolean

exists

  • exists(p: function): boolean
  • Returns true if this option is nonempty and the given predicate returns true when applied on this option's value.

    Parameters

    • p: function

      is the predicate function to test

        • (a: A): boolean
        • Parameters

          • a: A

          Returns boolean

    Returns boolean

filter

  • filter<B>(p: function): Option<B>
  • filter(p: function): Option<A>
  • Returns this option if it is nonempty AND applying the predicate p to the underlying value yields true, otherwise return an empty option.

    Type parameters

    • B: A

    Parameters

    • p: function

      is the predicate function that is used to apply filtering on the option's value

        • (a: A): boolean
        • Parameters

    NOTE: this is similar with map, except that flatMap the result returned by f is expected to be boxed in an Option already.

    Example:

    const opt = Option.of(10)
    
    opt.flatMap(num => {
      if (num % 2 == 0)
        Some(num + 1)
