Methods

ToMaybe<T>(T)

A generic extension method for converting a reference type value to a Maybe<T> where T is of the same type.

public static Maybe<T> ToMaybe<T>(this T inValue)

Parameters

inValue T

The value to be converted to a Maybe<T>.

Returns

Maybe<T>

A Maybe<T> containing the value inValue.

Type Parameters

T

The type of the value being converted to a Maybe.

ToMaybe<T>(Maybe<T>)

A generic extension method for converting a Maybe<T> to a Maybe<T>. Returns the provided Maybe<T> structure unmodified, in order to prevent it being accidentally double-wrapped as a Maybe<Maybe<T>>.

public static Maybe<T> ToMaybe<T>(this Maybe<T> inValue)

Parameters

inValue Maybe<T>

The value to be converted to a Maybe<T>.

Returns

Maybe<T>

A Maybe<T> containing the value inValue.

Type Parameters

T

The type of the value being converted to a Maybe.

Remarks

This overload of the ToMaybe method prevents a Maybe<T> from being accidentally double-wrapped as a Maybe<Maybe<T>>.

ToMaybe<T>(Nullable<T>)

A generic extension method for converting a value type value to a Maybe<T> where T is of the same type.

public static Maybe<T> ToMaybe<T>(this T? inValue)

    where T : struct

Parameters

inValue System.Nullable<T>

The value to be converted to a Maybe<T>.

Returns

Maybe<T>

A Maybe<T> containing the value inValue.

Type Parameters

T

The type of the value being converted to a Maybe.
