ErrorResultGuard

ErrorResultGuard

A utility class which is used to assert the success of an operation which returns a union type of SuccessType | ErrorResponse [ | ErrorResponse ]. The methods of this class are used to:

  1. assert that the result is a success or error case
  2. narrow the type so that TypeScript can correctly infer the properties of the result.

Example

const orderResultGuard: ErrorResultGuard<AddItemToOrderResult>
= createErrorResultGuard(order => !!order.lines);

it('errors when quantity is negative', async () => {
const { addItemToOrder } = await shopClient.query<AddItemToOrder.Query, AddItemToOrder.Mutation>(ADD_ITEM_TO_ORDER, {
productVariantId: 42, quantity: -1,
});

// The test will fail
orderResultGuard.assertErrorResult(addItemToOrder);

// the type of `addItemToOrder` has now been
// narrowed to only include the ErrorResult types.
expect(addItemToOrder.errorCode).toBe(ErrorCode.NegativeQuantityError);
}
Signature
class ErrorResultGuard<T> {
constructor(testFn: (input: T) => boolean)
isSuccess(input: T | any) => input is T;
assertSuccess(input: T | R) => asserts input is T;
assertErrorResult(input: T | R) => asserts input is R;
}

constructor

method
(testFn: (input: T) => boolean) => ErrorResultGuard

isSuccess

method
(input: T | any) => input is T

A type guard which returns true if the input passes the testFn predicate.

assertSuccess

method
(input: T | R) => asserts input is T

Asserts (using the testing library's fail() function) that the input is successful, i.e. it passes the testFn.

assertErrorResult

method
(input: T | R) => asserts input is R

Asserts (using the testing library's fail() function) that the input is not successful, i.e. it does not pass the testFn.
