Methods

get(MAYBE fallback) → MAYBE
Gets the inner value if not null or fallback otherwise.
getOr(MAYBE fallback()) → MAYBE
Gets the inner value if not null or result of fallback otherwise.
getOrAsync(Future<MAYBE> fallback()) → Future<MAYBE>

getUnsafe() → MAYBE?
Returns the inner value as nullable. Only use this if necessary.
ifNone<RETURN>(RETURN onNone()) → Option<RETURN>
Calls onNone if this.isNone and returns its value in a new Option.
ifNoneAsync<RETURN>(Future<RETURN> onNone()) → Future<Option<RETURN>>
Async version of Option.ifNone.
ifSome<RETURN>(RETURN onSome(MAYBE some)) → Option<RETURN>
Calls onSome if this.isSome and returns its value in a new Option.
ifSomeAsync<RETURN>(Future<RETURN> onSome(MAYBE some)) → Future<Option<RETURN>>
Async version of Option.ifSome.
match<RETURN>({required RETURN onSome(MAYBE some), required RETURN onNone()}) → RETURN
Calls the matching function and returns its value.
