Detailed Description

template<class T>
class v8::Maybe< T >

A simple Maybe type, representing an object which may or may not have a value, see https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base/docs/Data-Maybe.html.

If an API method returns a Maybe<>, the API method can potentially fail either because an exception is thrown, or because an exception is pending, e.g. because a previous API call threw an exception that hasn't been caught yet, or because a TerminateExecution exception was thrown. In that case, a "Nothing" value is returned.

Member Function Documentation

◆ FromJust()

template<class T>
V8_INLINE T v8::Maybe< T >::FromJust ( ) const
inline

Converts this Maybe<> to a value of type T. If this Maybe<> is nothing (empty), V8 will crash the process.

Definition at line 8683 of file v8.h.

◆ FromMaybe()

template<class T>
V8_INLINE T v8::Maybe< T >::FromMaybe ( const T &  default_value) const
inline

Converts this Maybe<> to a value of type T, using a default value if this Maybe<> is nothing (empty).

Definition at line 8692 of file v8.h.

◆ To()

template<class T>
V8_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT V8_INLINE bool v8::Maybe< T >::To ( T *  out) const
inline

Converts this Maybe<> to a value of type T. If this Maybe<> is nothing (empty), |false| is returned and |out| is left untouched.

Definition at line 8674 of file v8.h.

◆ ToChecked()

template<class T>
V8_INLINE T v8::Maybe< T >::ToChecked ( ) const
inline

An alias for |FromJust|. Will crash if the Maybe<> is nothing.
