Scala

Mappings from Scala's Either type to kotlin-result.

---

Either.fold

<V, E, U, F> Result<V, E>.mapEither(success: (V) -> U, failure: (E) -> F): Result<U, F>

Applies success if this is Ok or failure if this is an Err.

val result = possiblyFailingOperation()
logger.info(result.mapEither(
    success = { "Operation produced value: ${it.value}" },
    failure = { "Operation failed with ${it.reason}" }
))

---

Either.getOrElse

<V, E> Result<V, E>.getOr(default: V): V

Returns the value from this Ok or the given argument if this is an Err.

Ok(12).getOr(17) // 12
Err(12).getOr(17)  // 17

---

Either.map

<V, E, U> Result<V, E>.andThen(transform: (V) -> Result<U, E>): Result<U, E>

The given function is applied if this is Ok.

Ok(12).andThen { "flower" } // Result: Ok("flower")

---

Either.toOption

<V, E> Result<V, E>.get(): V?

Returns the value if it exists or null if this is an Err.
