• Edit readme.

1.2.0

Changed

• Reversed Generic Type Parameters in Result Class Hierarchy:
  • The generic type parameters in the Result abstract class and its concrete subclasses, Failure and Success, have been reversed.
  • Previous: Result<Success, Error>
  • New: Result<Error, Success>
  • This change affects the following classes and their method signatures:
    • abstract class Result<E, T>
    • class Failure<E, T> extends Result<E, T>
    • class Success<E, T> extends Result<E, T>
  • Impact:
    • The order of type parameters when creating Result, Failure, and Success instances is now Result<ErrorType, SuccessType>.
    • All methods in these classes that used T and E have been updated to reflect the change.
  • Reason:
    • Aligns with the common functional programming convention of specifying error type first and success type second in result types.
    • Provides a more intuitive mental model for developers when dealing with potential failures.
  • Migration:
    • Existing code utilizing the Result class will need to update their generic type parameters accordingly (e.g., Result<int, String> becomes Result<String, int>).
    • No functionality is changed other than type parameter order, so the code should work the same way after the fix, providing the types are updated correctly.

1.2.1

• Updated Dart SDK Constraint:
  • Extended SDK compatibility to support version 3.6.1
  • Updated constraint from ‘>=3.0.0 <=3.6.0’ to ‘>=3.0.0 <=3.6.1’

1.2.2

• Updated Dart SDK Constraint:
  • Extended SDK compatibility to support version 3.6.1
  • Updated constraint from ‘>=3.0.0 <=4.0.0’ to ‘>=3.0.0 <=4.0.0’

1.3.0

Added

• Enhanced Result Type with New Features:
  • Convenience Getters:
    • isSuccess: Boolean getter to check if result is a success
    • isFailure: Boolean getter to check if result is a failure
    • getOrNull(): Returns the success value or null if failure
  • Static Factory Methods:
    • Result.tryCatch(): Safely execute a function and catch exceptions
    • Result.tryCatchAsync(): Async version of tryCatch for Future operations
    • Result.fromNullable(): Convert nullable values to Result with custom error
  • Side-Effect Methods:
    • tap(): Execute side effects on success values without modifying the result
    • tapError(): Execute side effects on failure values without modifying the result
  • Error Recovery:
    • orElse(): Provide alternative Result when current is failure
    • recover(): Transform failure to success with recovery function
    • recoverWith(): Transform failure to new Result with recovery function
  • Filtering and Validation:
    • filterOrElse(): Filter success values with predicate, convert to failure if not matching
  • Collection Operations:
    • Result.sequence(): Convert List to Result (fails fast on first error)
    • Result.partition(): Separate list of Results into successes and failures
  • Combining Results:
    • zipWith(): Combine two Results using a function
  • Async Operations:
    • mapAsync(): Transform success value asynchronously
    • flatMapAsync(): Chain async operations that return Results
  • Unit Type:
    • Added Unit class for operations without meaningful return values
    • Provides const Unit() for consistent void operation handling
  • Enhanced Debugging:
    • Improved toString() implementations for better debugging experience
    • Added hashCode and equality implementations

Changed

• Updated Documentation:
  • Comprehensive README with all new features and usage examples
  • Organized API documentation by functionality categories
  • Enhanced code examples showcasing functional composition patterns
  • Added real-world scenarios for validation, error recovery, and async operations
