TheNoobs.Results

TheNoobs.Results implements the Result pattern along with Railway Oriented Programming (ROP), both of which are functional programming paradigms. This project adheres to best practices and uses Behavior Driven Development (BDD) in its tests.

Patterns Used

Result Pattern

The Result pattern is a common technique used to handle operations that may fail. Instead of returning null values or throwing exceptions, a function that may fail returns a Result object containing the outcome of the operation, either a successful value or a failure. This ensures that all failures are handled explicitly.

public class Result<T>
{
    public T Value { get; }
    public bool IsSuccess { get; }
    public Fail Fail { get; }

    // Constructors and methods...
}

Railway Oriented Programming (ROP)

ROP is an approach inspired by functional languages for handling chained operations that may fail. The idea is that each step of the process can "take a detour" if a failure occurs, preventing the process from continuing incorrectly. Instead of using exceptions for control flow, ROP uses explicit result values indicating success or failure.

var result = GetSuccess()
    .Bind(x => GetSuccess(2))
    .Catch<int, NotFoundFail>(x => GetSuccess(3));

Requirements

To run the project, you will need to have .NET installed. You can download it here.

Project Structure

The project is organized into different components to facilitate maintenance and scalability:

• Result Types: Implementations of the Result pattern.
• Extensions: Extension methods to facilitate the use of Result and ROP.
• Fails: Definitions of specific failures to capture different types of errors.
• Tests: Unit and BDD tests to ensure code quality.

Best Practices

This project follows these best development practices:

• Clean Code: Maintenance of readable and well-organized code.
• Automated Testing: Comprehensive test coverage using BDD.
• SOLID: SOLID design principles to ensure modular and maintainable code.
