NLabs.Result NuGet Package

Overview

The NLabs.Result package is designed to encapsulate the result of operations in .NET applications, offering a structured way to handle success and failure states with associated data or error messages. It is ideal for improving error handling and response consistency across various application layers.

Features

• Generic Result Type: Facilitates strong typing of the operation outcome, accommodating any data type.
• Error Handling: Enables capturing multiple error messages, suitable for scenarios requiring detailed feedback.
• HTTP Status Code Integration: Aligns operation results with HTTP response standards, enhancing API development.
• Implicit Conversions: Streamlines result creation from data or errors through implicit conversion operators.

Getting Started

Installation

To integrate NLabs.Result into your project, install it via the NuGet package manager:

Install-Package NLabs.Result

Or through the .NET CLI:

dotnet add package NLabs.Result

Usage

• For a successful operation, instantiate a Result object with the desired data:

var successResult = new Result<string>("Operation successful.");

• Alternatively, leverage implicit conversion from data:

Result<string> result = "Operation successful.";

• For failures, create a Result object with an HTTP status code and error messages:

var errorResult = new Result<string>(400, new List<string> { "Error 1", "Error 2" });

• Or use implicit conversion from error details:

Result<string> result = (400, new List<string> { "Error 1", "Error 2" });

• For single error messages:

Result<string> result = (400, "Single error message");

• One error message return 500 status code

Result<string> result = Result<string>.Failure("Is fail!"); //return 500 status code

• Multiple error messages return 500 status code

Result<string> result = Result<string>.Failure(new List<string>() {"Is fail!","Is not unique!"}); //return 500 status code
