map(_:)

Returns a new result, mapping any success value using the given transformation.

Declaration

func map<NewSuccess>(_ transform: (Success) -> NewSuccess) -> Result<NewSuccess, Failure> where NewSuccess : ~Copyable

Parameters

  • transform:

    A closure that takes the success value of this instance.

Return Value

A Result instance with the result of evaluating transform as the new success value if this instance represents a success.

Discussion

Use this method when you need to transform the value of a Result instance when it represents a success. The following example transforms the integer success value of a result into a string:

func getNextInteger() -> Result<Int, Error> { /* ... */ }

let integerResult = getNextInteger()
// integerResult == .success(5)
let stringResult = integerResult.map { String($0) }
// stringResult == .success("5")
