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:
- assert that the result is a success or error case
- 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) => ErrorResultGuardisSuccess
method
(input: T | any) => input is TA type guard which returns true if the input passes the testFn predicate.
assertSuccess
method
(input: T | R) => asserts input is TAsserts (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 RAsserts (using the testing library's fail() function) that the input is
not successful, i.e. it does not pass the testFn.
