This packages provides a Result<TValue, TFailure> type for C#, spiritually similar to those available in Rust, Swift, Kotlin, C++ and basically every functional programming language under the sun.

Results are commonly used in scenarios where failure is anticipated can be handled gracefully by the caller. Examples include:

  • Input validation,
  • Parsing and conversion,
  • Invocation of external services,
  • Authentication and authorization,
  • and more ...

Result<TValue, TFailure> represents the result of a fallible operation as a first class value. A result can be in one of two states: "success" or "failure". Both states have an associated payload of type TValue or TFailure respectively.

Why does this package exist?

There are already dozens of similar packages. Yet, surprisingly, none of them provide what I'm looking for:

  • No opinion on what is allowed to be a failure. In other words: I want the failure type to be parameterized (TFailure) without constraints. IMO, hardcoding the failure type to e.g. Exception or string completely defeats the purpose of using a result type in C#.

  • Just Result, nothing else. I'm not interested in a complete Functional Programming framework that introduces 20-or-so new concepts, pushes all code into lambdas and attempts to redefine what it means to write C#. Not because I don't like FP, but because the language & ecosystem (sadly 🥲) doesn't afford it.

  • "Native" C#. It should feel as if it is written by C# developers, for C# developers, for use in (existing) C# codebases. Or put differently: if such a type were to be added to the BCL, how would Microsoft design it?

Shameless self-promotion

May I interest you in one of my other packages?

  • Badeend.ValueCollections: Low overhead immutable collection types with structural equality.
  • Badeend.Result: For failures that are not exceptional: Result<T,E> for C#.
  • Badeend.Any: Holds any value of any type, without boxing small structs (up to 8 bytes).
  • Badeend.Nothing: If you want to use void as a type parameter, but C# won't let you.
