  end
end

Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

#method_missing(method, *args, &block) ⇒ Danom::Monad (private)

Provides convinience for chaining methods together while maintaining a monad.

Examples:

Chaining fetches on a hash that does not have the keys

m = Maybe({})
m_name = m[:person][:full_name] #=> Danom::Maybe
name = ~m_name #=> nil

Safe navigation

m = Maybe(nil)
m_name = m.does.not.have.methods.upcase #=> Danom::Maybe
name = ~m_name #=> nil

Returns:

Instance Method Details

#monad_value ⇒ Object

Note:

Useful when you want to extract the underlying value and it also responds to #value

Extract the value from the monad. Can also be extracted via ‘~` unary operator.

Examples:

~Maybe("hello") #=> "HELLO"
~Maybe(nil)     #=> nil

Returns:

  • (Object) —

    The unwrapped value

def monad_value
  if Monad === @value
    @value.value
  else
    @value
  end
end

#value ⇒ Object

Extract the value from the monad. If the underlying value responds to #value then this will be bypassed instead.

Returns:

  • (Object) —

    The unwrapped value
