{"library":"option","type":"library","category":null,"description":"This package provides a robust implementation of the option (or maybe) type for JavaScript, designed to manage optional values and mitigate the pervasive issues of `null` and `undefined`. It offers a functional approach to handling the presence or absence of a value through `some(value)` and `none` constructs, similar to types found in languages like Rust or Scala. The current stable version is `0.2.4`, which was published approximately nine years ago, indicating that the package is no longer actively maintained. Key differentiators include its rich API for value manipulation, such as `map`, `flatMap`, `filter`, `orElse`, and `valueOrElse`, which promote safer and more expressive code compared to traditional null checks. Its `fromNullable` function also provides a convenient way to convert potentially nullish values into `option` types.","language":"javascript","status":"abandoned","version":"0.2.4","tags":["javascript","option","maybe"],"install":[{"cmd":"npm install option","imports":["const option = require('option');","const someValue = option.some('hello');","const noValue = option.none;","const maybeValue = option.fromNullable(someNullableVar);"]},{"cmd":"yarn add option","imports":[]},{"cmd":"pnpm add option","imports":[]}],"homepage":null,"github":"https://github.com/mwilliamson/node-options","docs":null,"changelog":null,"pypi":null,"npm":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/option","openapi_spec":null,"status_page":null,"smithery":null,"compatibility":{"summary":{"python_range":"18–22","success_rate":0,"avg_install_s":null,"avg_import_s":null,"wheel_type":null},"url":"https://checklist.day/v1/registry/option/compatibility"},"provenance":{"verified_status":null,"verified_at":null,"last_verified":"Wed Jun 17","next_check":"Sat Jul 18","install_tag":null}}
