Detailed Description

template<class T>
class v8::Maybe< T >

A simple Maybe type, representing an object which may or may not have a value, see https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base/docs/Data-Maybe.html.

If an API method returns a Maybe<>, the API method can potentially fail either because an exception is thrown, or because an exception is pending, e.g. because a previous API call threw an exception that hasn't been caught yet, or because a TerminateExecution exception was thrown. In that case, a "Nothing" value is returned.

Member Function Documentation

Check()

V8_INLINE void Check ( ) const

inline

Short-hand for ToChecked(), which doesn't return a value. To be used, where the actual value of the Maybe is not needed like Object::Set.

Definition at line 9988 of file v8.h.

References Maybe< T >::IsJust().

FromJust()

V8_INLINE T FromJust ( ) const

inline

Converts this Maybe<> to a value of type T. If this Maybe<> is nothing (empty), V8 will crash the process.

FromMaybe()

V8_INLINE T FromMaybe ( const T &  default_value ) const

inline

Converts this Maybe<> to a value of type T, using a default value if this Maybe<> is nothing (empty).

IsJust()

V8_INLINE bool IsJust ( ) const

inline

Definition at line 9977 of file v8.h.

V8_INLINE bool IsNothing ( ) const

operator!=()

V8_INLINE bool operator!= ( const Maybe< T > &  other ) const

operator==()

V8_INLINE bool operator== ( const Maybe< T > &  other ) const

References Maybe< T >::FromJust(), and Maybe< T >::IsJust().

Referenced by Maybe< T >::operator!=().

To()

V8_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT V8_INLINE bool To ( T *  out ) const

inline

Converts this Maybe<> to a value of type T. If this Maybe<> is nothing (empty), |false| is returned and |out| is left untouched.

Definition at line 9996 of file v8.h.

References Maybe< T >::IsJust().

ToChecked()

V8_INLINE T ToChecked ( ) const

inline

An alias for |FromJust|. Will crash if the Maybe<> is nothing.

Definition at line 9982 of file v8.h.
