TaskEither overview

TaskEither<E, A> represents an asynchronous computation that either yields a value of type A or fails yielding an error of type E. If you want to represent an asynchronous computation that never fails, please see Task.

Table of contents

Alt

alt

Identifies an associative operation on a type constructor. It is similar to Semigroup, except that it applies to types of kind * -> *.

In case of TaskEither returns fa if is a Right or the value returned by that otherwise.

See also orElse.

Signature

export declare const alt: <E, A>(that: Lazy<TaskEither<E, A>>) => (fa: TaskEither<E, A>) => TaskEither<E, A>

Example

import * as E from 'fp-ts/lib/Either'
import { pipe } from 'fp-ts/lib/function'
import * as TE from 'fp-ts/lib/TaskEither'

async function test() {
  assert.deepStrictEqual(
    await pipe(
      TE.right(1),
      TE.alt(() => TE.right(2))
    )(),
    E.right(1)
  )
  assert.deepStrictEqual(
    await pipe(
      TE.left('a'),
      TE.alt(() => TE.right(2))
    )(),
    E.right(2)
  )
  assert.deepStrictEqual(
    await pipe(
      TE.left('a'),
      TE.alt(() => TE.left('b'))
    )(),
    E.left('b')
  )
