SzakatsA.Result 1.1.0

SzakatsA.Result

SzakatsA.Result is a lightweight, extensible C# library that provides a robust implementation of the Result pattern. It’s designed to encapsulate success and failure outcomes in a clean, expressive, and type-safe manner.

Features

• Represent results with or without values
• Support for strongly-typed errors
• Multiple exceptions per failure
• Minimal, dependency-free API
• Public domain licensing (Unlicense)

Usage

Basic Result (No Value)

using SzakatsA.Result;

Result successful = Result.Success();
Result failed = Result.Fail(new NotImplementedException());

Result With Value

using SzakatsA.Result;

Result<string> successfulWithValue = Result.Success("This is the value of the successful attempt");
Result<string> failedWithValue = Result.Fail(new NotSupportedException("There is no value associated when an attempt fails"));

Result with Value and typed Error

using SzakatsA.Result;

Result<string, int> failedWithTypedError = Result.Fail(32); //e.g., an error code

Checking Result State

using SzakatsA.Result;

Result<string, int> result = Result.Fail(64);

if (result.IsSuccessful)
{
    string value = result.Value;
}
else
{
    int errorCode = result.Error;
    Exception[] exceptions = result.Exceptions;
    Exception? combinedException = result.Exception;
}

The Exception property contains:

• null if no exceptions were registered
• A single exception if only one was registered
• An AggregateException if multiple exceptions were registered
