`Some[T]`¶

class rusttypes.option.Some(inner: T)¶

Bases: Option, Generic[T]

and_(optb: Option[U]) → Option[U]¶

Returns Nil if the option is Nil, otherwise returns optb.

Arguments passed to and_ are eagerly evaluated; if you are passing the result of a function call, it is recommended to use and_then, which is lazily evaluated.

Parameters:: optb (Option[U]) – The other option to return if the current option is Some.
Returns:: The other option if the current option is Some, Nil otherwise.
Return type:: Option[U]

Examples:

>>> Some(1).and_(Some("foo"))
Some("foo")

>>> Some(1).and_(Nil)
Nil

>>> Nil.and_(Some(2))
Nil

and_then(f: Callable[[T], Option[U]]) → Option[U]¶

Returns Nil if the option is Nil, otherwise calls f with the wrapped value and returns the result.

Some languages call this operation flatmap.

Parameters:: f (Callable[[T], Option[U]]) – The function to call with the value if the option is Some.
Returns:: The result of the function call or Nil.
Return type:: Option[U]

Examples

Lets assume the following function is_positive:

import math

def sqrt(x: float) -> Option[float]:
    if x < 0:
        return Nil
    return Some(math.sqrt(x))

You can now use and_then like this:

>>> Some(4).and_then(sqrt)
Some(2)

>>> Some(-1).and_then(sqrt)
Nil

>>> Nil.and_then(sqrt)
Nil

as_optional() → T | None¶

Converts the Option to an Python Optional

Returns:: The contained value or None if the Option is Nil.
Return type:: Optional[T]

Examples:

>>> Some(1).as_optional()
1

>>> Nil.as_optional()
None

expect(msg: str) → T¶

Returns the contained Some value.

Parameters:: msg – The error message to display if the value is a Nil.
Raises:: RuntimeError – with the given message if the value is a Nil.
Returns:: The contained value.
Return type:: T

Examples:

>>> Some(1).expect("Value is None")
1

>>> Nil.expect("Value is None")
RuntimeError: Value is None

filter(predicate: Callable[[T], bool]) → Option[T]¶

Returns Nil if the option is Nil, otherwise calls predicate with the wrapped value and returns:

Some(val) if predicate returns True (where val is the wrapped value), and
Nil if predicate returns False.

You can imagine the Option[T] being an iterator over one or zero elements. filter() lets you decide which elements to keep.

Parameters:: predicate (Callable[[T], bool]) – The predicate to match the value against.
Returns:: The filtered Option.
Return type:: Option[T]

Examples

Lets assume the following function is_positive:

def is_positive(x: int) -> bool:
    return x > 0

You can now use filter like this:

>>> Some(1).filter(is_positive)
Some(1)

>>> Some(-42).filter(is_positive)
Nil

>>> Nil.filter(is_positive)
Nil

flatten() → Option[T]¶

Converts from Option[Option[T]] to Option[T].

Returns:: The flattened option.
Return type:: Option[T]
Raises:: ValueError – If the inner type is not an Option.

Examples:

>>> Some(Some(1)).flatten()
Some(1)

>>> Some(Nil).flatten()
Nil

>>> Nil.flatten()
ValueError: Can not flatten if .inner is non-option type

get_or_insert(value: T) → Some[T]¶

Inserts value into the option if it is Nil, then returns the (newly created) value, for the function to work properly override the varibale from which this function is called with the return value if no function chaining is used.

See also Option::insert, which updates the value even if the option already contains Some.

Parameters:: value (T) – The value to insert.
Returns:: The (newly created) value.
Return type:: Some[T]

Examples:

>>> x = Nil
>>> x = x.get_or_insert(2)
>>> x
Some(2)

>>> x = Some(1)
>>> x = x.get_or_insert(2)
>>> x
Some(1)

get_or_insert_default(t: Type[T]) → Some[T]¶

Inserts the default value into the option if it is Nil, then returns the (newly created) value, for the function to work properly override the varibale from which this function is called with the return value if no function chaining is used. The default value is retrieved from the Default trait of the type T.

Parameters:: t (Type[T]) – The type to get the default value from.
Returns:: The (newly created) value.
Return type:: Some[T]
Raises:: ValueError – If the type T does not implement the Default trait.

Examples

Lets assume the following dataclass that implements the Default trait:

from dataclasses import dataclass
from typing import TypeVar, Type
from rusttypes.traits import Default

T = TypeVar("T")

@dataclass
class MyType(Default):
    value: int

    @classmethod
    def default(cls: Type[T]) -> T:
        return MyType(42)

You can now use get_or_insert_default like this:

>>> x = Nil
>>> x = x.get_or_insert_default(MyType)
>>> x.value
42

>>> x = Some(MyType(1))
>>> x = x.get_or_insert_default(MyType)
>>> x.value
1

get_or_insert_with(f: Callable[[], T]) → Some[T]¶

Inserts a value computed from f into the option if it is Nil, then returns the (newly created) value, for the function to work properly override the varibale from which this function is called with the return value if no function chaining is used.

Parameters:: f (Callable[[], T]) – The closure to compute the value.
Returns:: The (newly created) value.
Return type:: Some[T]

Examples:

>>> x = Nil
>>> x = x.get_or_insert_with(lambda: 2)
>>> x
Some(2)

>>> x = Some(1)
>>> x = x.get_or_insert_with(lambda: 2)
>>> x
Some(1)

inner: T¶

insert(value: T) → Some[T]¶

Inserts value into the option, then returns the (newly created) value, for the function to work properly override the varibale from which this function is called with the return value if no function chaining is used.

If the option already contains a value, the old value is dropped.

See also Option::get_or_insert, which doesn’t update the value if the option already contains Some.

Parameters:: value (T) – The value to insert.
Returns:: The (newly created) value.
Return type:: Some[T]

Examples:

>>> x = Some(1)

Ok(Some(1))

>>> Some(Err("error")).transpose()
Err("error")

>>> Nil.transpose()
Ok(Nil)

unwrap() → T¶

Returns:: The contained value.
Return type:: T
Raises:: RuntimeError – if the value is a None.

Examples:

>>> Some(1).unwrap()
1

>>> Nil.unwrap()
RuntimeError: Called unwrap on a Nil value

unwrap_or(default: T) → T¶

Returns the contained Some value or a provided default.

Arguments passed to unwrap_or are eagerly evaluated; if you are passing the result of a function call, it is recommended to use unwrap_or_else, which is lazily evaluated.

Returns:: The contained value or the default value.
Return type:: T

Examples:

@dataclass
class MyType(Default):
    value: int

    @staticmethod
    def default() -> MyType:
        return MyType(42)

You can now use unwrap_or_default like this:
