koption_macros

Some macros that are useful for working with Options.

• or!: or!(optA => optB => optC) will select the first non-None value, like a COALESCE in SQL.
• and!: and!(optA => optB => optC) will produce a tuple (A, B, C) iff all values are Some.
• try_!: This is an Option focused version of the try block which seems to work better with type inference than the try blocks in nightly.

There is at least one more thing planned as soon as I can figure out how to use proc_macros.

Examples

Straight from the unit tests.

```rust

[test]

fn orworks() { asserteq!(Some(1), or!(Some(1) => Some(2) => Some(3))); asserteq!(Some(2), or!(None => Some(2) => Some(3))); asserteq!(Some(3), or!(None => None => Some(3))); assert_eq!(None::<()>, or!(None => None => None)); }

[test]

fn andworks() { asserteq!(Some((1, 2, 3)), and!(Some(1) => Some(2) => Some(3))); asserteq!(None, and!(None => Some(2) => Some(3))); asserteq!(None, and!(None => None => Some(3))); assert_eq!(None, and!(None => None => None)); }

struct Config { log: Option, }

struct LogConfig { level: Option, }

[test]

fn tryworks() { asserteq!( Some(6), try_! { let x = Some(3); let y = Some(2); x? * y? } );

let config = Config {
    log: Some(LogConfig {
        level: Some("debug".to_owned()),
    }),
};

let x = try_! { config.log?.level? }.unwrap_or("foo".to_owned());
assert_eq!(x, "debug");

} ```

Why koption_macros?

It's my version of namespacing my crates with my last initial, k.
