triplex-fp provides a fp-ts-compatible
Triplex type class
that represents the triply branched UI data state of "progress" (data is
being fetched), "error" (the fetching failed) and "available" (the fetching
is successful, yielding a result), with the applicative combinator
getApplicative that lets you combine such states, with an "error"
instance masking "progress" instances, and a "progress" instance masking
"available" instances. It also supplies other ergonomic methods for
constructing, discriminating, folding mapping over different branches,
as well as conversion into Option and Either.
The applicative takes semigroup type classes for progress and error states, allowing you to specify your on logic as to how they should be combined when putting two triplex instances together. You may therefore choose to keep any single error instance and throw away the rest, or concatenate them, or perform any other accumulation logic on the individual error instances. The same goes with the progress states.
The library also ships the following type classes that can be used to represent progress states:
-
WeightedProgress - represents a numerical progress state that can be combined in a weighted manner, so that some data contribution's progress can count more than others.
-
(RetryableError) - represents a simple, message-less error that is either retryable or not retryable. When combined, non-retryable errors propagate over retryable errors.
-
(Unit) - represents a type with no value. You can use this to blank out progresses or errors if you aren't interested in them.
