Hike

The Hike module provides an implementation of the Optional data types. It defines

• a struct Hike.Option with a single field value which can either be nil or any other value of type t.

• a struct Hike.Either that represents an "either/or" value. It can contain either a left value or a right value, but not both

• a struct Hike.MayFailthat represents an "either/or" value. It can contain either a Failure value or a Success value, but not both.

This implementation provides shorthand functions to work with Optional data, including mapping, filtering, applying and many more functions to the value inside the Optional data.

Installation

If available in Hex, the package can be installed by adding hike to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:hike, "~> 0.0.1"}
  ]
end

Documentation can be generated with ExDoc and published on HexDocs. Once published, the docs can be found at https://hexdocs.pm/hike.
