The result library provides a type-safe way to handle results in TypeScript. Inspired by Rust, it helps you manage errors effectively, ensuring your functions return values consistently. This library is useful for anyone wanting to write clear, maintainable code without getting bogged down in error management.
- Type Safety: Avoid runtime errors by using types to manage success and failure states.
- Functional Programming: Embrace a functional style for cleaner, more understandable code.
- Inspired by Rust: Benefit from proven concepts adapted for TypeScript.
- Easy to Use: Designed for ease of understanding, even for non-technical users.
- A device with Windows, macOS, or Linux.
- A current version of Node.js to run TypeScript applications. You can check your Node.js version by typing
node -vin your terminal or command prompt. - Basic command line knowledge, such as navigating to folders.

Test the Installation
To ensure the library is set up correctly, create a new TypeScript file. Add the following import statement at the top of your file:import { Result } from 'result';
If you donβt see any errors when saving the file, the installation was successful!
To use the library in your TypeScript application:
- Import it at the beginning of your file as shown above.
- Use the
Resultclass to manage success and error states in your functions.
Hereβs a simple example:
import { Result } from 'result';
function divide(a: number, b: number): Result<number> {
if (b === 0) {
return Result.error('Cannot divide by zero');
}
return Result.ok(a / b);
}
const result = divide(10, 2);
result.match({
ok: (value) => console.log(value),
error: (message) => console.error(message),
