tailsome

Blanket traits providing methods for turning anything into an Option or Result.

Inspired by tap::Pipe, which provides a pipe method that allows the user to call any bare function in the middle of a method chain.

The most useful of these traits' methods is probably IntoResult::into_ok. Instead of wrapping a long method-chain expression in a call to Ok, try tacking an .into_ok() at the end. This can be especially pleasing in functions that return a Result and make judicious use of method chains and the ? operator.

fn build_pipeline() -> Result<Example, Error> {
    Builder::new()
        .set_option(42)
        .try_set_option("some flag")?
        .set_option("another option")
        .build()
        .into_ok()
}
