Overview

This class provides syntactic sugar for composition of multiple monadic operations. It supports two such operations - flat_map and map. Any class providing them is supported by For.

For(a: Some(2), b: Some(3)) { a * b } #=> Some(6)

If one of operands is None, the result is None

For(a: Some(2), b: None()) { a * b } #=> None()
For(a: None(), b: Some(2)) { a * b } #=> None()

Lets look at first example:

For(a: Some(2), b: Some(3)) { a * b }

would be translated to:

Some(2).flat_map do |a|
  Some(3).map do |b|
    a * b
  end
end

It works with arrays as well

For(a: [1, 2], b: [2, 3], c: [3, 4]) { a * b * c }
  #=> [6, 8, 9, 12, 12, 16, 18, 24]

would be translated to:

[1, 2].flat_map do |a|
  [2, 3].flat_map do |b|
    [3, 4].map do |c|
      a * b * c
    end
  end
end
