frontOr

If value is valid, it returns the internal value. This means .front for a range, .get for a Nullable!T, etc. If value is invalid, then elseValue is returned. If an elsePred is provided than that is called.

elsePred can return void as well, in which case frontOr also returns void.

Parameters

value T: the value to check
elseValue U: the value to get if value is invalid

Return Value

Type: auto

Nullable!T: value.get or elseValue

Optional!T: value.front or elseValue

Range!T: value.front or elseValue

Examples

import optional.optional: some, no;

auto opt0 = no!int;
auto opt1 = some(1);

// Get or optional
assert(opt0.frontOr(789) == 789);
assert(opt1.frontOr(789) == 1);

// Lambdas
() @nogc {
    assert(opt0.frontOr!(() => 789) == 789);
    assert(opt1.frontOr!(() => 789) == 1);
}();

// Same with arrays/ranges

int[] arr0;
int[] arr1  = [1, 2];

// Get frontOr optional
assert(arr0.frontOr(789) == 789);
assert(arr1.frontOr(789) == 1);

// Lambdas
() @nogc {
    assert(arr0.frontOr!(() => 789) == 789);
    assert(arr1.frontOr!(() => 789) == 1);
}();
