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;
}

Members

constructor

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

isSuccess

method
type:
(input: T | any) => input is T
A type guard which returns true if the input passes the testFn predicate.

assertSuccess

method
type:
(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
type:
(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.
