# λTonic 🥃 ![](https://github.com/ceticamarco/lambdatonic/actions/workflows/LambdaTonic.yml/badge.svg)
**λTonic**(_LambdaTonic_) is functional library designed for modern Java(+21).
This library introduces a new algebraic data type called `Either<L, R>`;
that is, an immutable sum type that _discriminates_ between two values, `Left<L>` and `Right<R>`,
representing the failure and the success values, respectively.
The `Either<L, R>` data type is implemented using a **sealed interface**, while the `Left<LL>`
and the `Right<R>` are **record classes** that adopt the `Either<L, R>` protocol. Both the `Left<L>`
and the `Right<R>` data types can be used inside a `switch` statement using Java pattern matching.
## Overview
The `Either<L, R>` algebraic data type can be used orthogonally over exceptions to propagate
an error from a function. Consider the following scenario:
```java
public class Main {
public static Either<Error, Double> division(double dividend, double divisor) {
// Return an error whether the divisor is zero
if(divisor == 0) {
return new Left<>(new Error("Cannot divide by zero"));
}
// Otherwise return the result of the division
return new Right<>(dividend / divisor);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Try to divide 15 by 3
Either<Error, Double> divResult = division(15, 3);
switch (divResult) {
case Left<Error, Double> err -> System.err.println(err.value().getMessage());
case Right<Error, Double> val -> System.out.printf("15 / 3 = %f\n", val.value());
}
// Try to divide 2 by 0
var div2Result = division(2, 0);
switch (div2Result) {
case Left<Error, Double> err -> System.err.println(err.value().getMessage());
case Right<Error, Double> val -> System.out.printf("2 / 0 = %f\n", val.value());
}
}
}
```
In this example we have defined a `division` method that takes two arguments and perform a division
on them. To handle the case when the `divisor` parameter is equal to zero, we return a new `Left<L>`
instance of the `Either<L, R>` type, while in any other case, we return a new `Right<R>` instance of the
`Either<L, R>` type. In the caller method(i.e., the `main`) we can then execute a custom statement using
Java's builtin pattern matching.
## API Usage
The `Either<L, R>` data type supports a broad spectrum of features, below there is a list of all supported
functionalities.
- `map`
### Description
```java
<T> Either<L, T> map(Function<R, T> fn);
```
The `map` method applies a function(`fn`) to the values inside the data type,
returning a new data type if and only if the `Either<L, R>` type is instantiated
to the `Right<R>` type. The `map` method adheres to the
functor laws(identity and composition of morphisms), which allows the `Either<L, R>` data type
to be classified as a functor.
### Usage
The `map` method can be used to apply a computation to the value inside a functor:
```java
public class Main {
// ...
public static void main(String[] args) {
var resDivision = division(15, 3);
var resSquared = resDivision.map(x -> x * x);
switch (resSquared) {
case Left<Error, Double> err -> System.err.println(err.value().getMessage());
case Right<Error, Double> val -> System.out.println(val.value()); // prints 25.0
}
}
}
```
- `bimap`
### Description
```java
<T, K> Either<T, K> bimap(Function<L, T> onLeft, Function<R, K> onRight);
```
The `bimap` method applies the `onLeft` method to the `Left<L>` subtype or the
`onRight` to the `Right<R>`.
### Usage
```java
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
var sc = new Scanner(System.in);
// Read from stdin
System.out.print("Enter a divisor: ");
var input = sc.nextInt();
// Divide a fixed dividend by user input divisor
var divRes = division(15, input);
// Apply a function regardless of the type of Either
// On the left we uppercase the error message
// On the right we square the result
var bimapRes = divRes.bimap(
err -> new Error(err.toString().toUpperCase()),
val -> val * val
);
switch (bimapRes) {
case Left<Error, Double> err -> System.err.println(err.value().getMessage());
case Right<Error, Double> val -> System.out.println(val.value());
}
}
}
```
- `isLeft`
### Description
```java
boolean isLeft();
```
`isLeft` returns true whether `Either<L, R>` is instantiated to the `Left<L>`, false otherwise
### Usage
```java
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
var sc = new Scanner(System.in);
// Read from stdin
System.out.print("Enter a divisor: ");
var input = sc.nextInt();
// Divide a fixed dividend by user input divisor
var divRes = division(15, input);
if(divRes.isLeft()) {
System.out.println("Cannot divide by zero");
} else {
System.out.println(divRes.fromRight(-1.0));
}
}
}
```
- `isRight`
### Description
```java
boolean isRight();
```
`isRight` returns true whether `Either<L, R>` is instantiated to the `Right<L>`, false otherwise
### Usage
```java
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
var sc = new Scanner(System.in);
// Read from stdin
System.out.print("Enter a divisor: ");
var input = sc.nextInt();
// Divide a fixed dividend by user input divisor
var divRes = division(15, input);
if(divRes.isRight()) {
System.out.println(divRes.fromRight(-1.0));
} else {
System.out.println("Cannot divide by zero");
}
}
}
```
- `fromLeft`
### Description
```java
L fromLeft(L defaultValue);
```
`fromLeft` returns the content of the `Left<L>` value or a default value
### Usage
```java
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
var sc = new Scanner(System.in);
// Read from stdin
System.out.print("Enter a divisor: ");
var input = sc.nextInt();
// Divide a fixed dividend by user input divisor
var divRes = division(15, input);
// Prints out the error message or nothing
System.out.println(divRes.fromLeft(new Error("")).getMessage());
}
}
```
- `fromRight`
### Description
```java
L fromLeft(L defaultValue);
```
`fromRight` returns the content of the `Right<R>` value or a default value
### Usage
```java
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
var sc = new Scanner(System.in);
// Read from stdin
System.out.print("Enter a divisor: ");
var input = sc.nextInt();
// Divide a fixed dividend by user input divisor
var divRes = division(15, input);
// Prints out the actual value or nothing
System.out.println(divRes.fromRight(0.0));
}
}
```
- `toOptional`
### Description
```java
Optional<R> toOptional();
```
`toOptional` converts an `Either<L, R>` data type to a `java.util.Optional`,
where the `Right<R>` becomes a non-null `Optional<R>` and the `Left<L>`
becomes a null `Optional`.
### Usage
```java
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
var sc = new Scanner(System.in);
// Read from stdin
System.out.print("Enter a divisor: ");
var input = sc.nextInt();
// Divide a fixed dividend by user input divisor
var divRes = division(15, input).toOptional();
// Prints out the actual value or nothing
divRes.ifPresent(System.out::println);
}
}
```
- `swap`
### Description
```java
Either<R, L> swap();
```
`swap` returns an `Either<R, L>` type with `Left<R>` and `Right<L>` swapped.
### Usage
```java
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Either<String, Integer> val = new Left<>("generic error");
Either<Integer, String> res = val.swap();
System.out.println(res.isLeft()); // Prints false
System.out.println(res.isRight()); // Prints true
}
}
```
