tryvial

A small crate for Ok-wrapping and try blocks. This is compatible with [Result], [Option], and any type implementing the unstable [std::ops::Try] trait.

This crate does not require nightly Rust.

Overview

The titular macro, [tryvial], is used to perform Ok-wrapping on the return value of a function.

Before:

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    println!("Enter your name: ");
    let mut name = String::new();
    std::io::stdin().read_line(&mut name)?;
    println!("Hello, {name}!");
    Ok(()) // this is ugly
}

After:

#[tryvial]
fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    println!("Enter your name: ");
    let mut name = String::new();
    std::io::stdin().read_line(&mut name)?;
    println!("Hello, {name}!");
}

The macro [try_block] is an implementation of "try blocks" from nightly rust.

let result: Result<T, E> = try_block! {
   let a = do_one(x)?;
   let b = do_two(a)?;
   b
};

The macro [wrap_ok] simply wraps an expression with the "ok" variant for a given Try type.

assert_eq!(Some(42), wrap_ok!(42));
