Either[+A, +B]
extends
AnyRef
The Either
type represents a value of one of two possible types (a disjoint union).
The data constructors; Left
and Right
represent the two possible
values. The Either
type is often used as an alternative to
scala.Option
where Left
represents failure (by convention) and
Right
is akin to Some
.
Method Summary | |
def
|
fold
[X](fa : (A) => X, fb : (B) => X) : X
Deconstruction of the
Either type (in contrast to pattern matching). |
def
|
isLeft
: Boolean
Returns
true if this is a Left , false otherwise. |
def
|
isRight
: Boolean
Returns
true if this is a Right , false otherwise. |
def
|
left
: LeftProjection[A, B]
Projects this
Either as a Left . |
def
|
right
: RightProjection[A, B]
Projects this
Either as a Right . |
def
|
swap
: Either[B, A] with Product
If this is a
Left , then return the left value in Right or vice versa. |
