Sep 18, 2024 at 7:08 comment added StainlessSteelRat This is absolutely brilliant but it fails for something like this: When[int*](somePtrRecord != nil).Then(&somePtrRecord.intVal).Else(nil) because the Then value is evaluated
Aug 27, 2024 at 15:37 comment added Rob Spoor What you can possibly do is reorder things. It will then look like a Python ternary expression. For instance: Return(value).When(value > 0).Else(1), Answer(func()int { return value * 4 }).When(value > 0).Else(1). I've taken the "answer" part from Mockito, as it also supports this ordering, starting with doReturn, doAnswer, doThrow, etc.
Dec 28, 2023 at 13:09 comment added Tommaso Resti Imagine, for example, that you want to call an endpoint if a certain condition is true. Calling the endpoint inside the Then would execute the call in any case, whether the condition is true or false. Calling it in the ThenDo would only execute the call if the condition is true
Dec 28, 2023 at 13:05 comment added Tommaso Resti it allows lazy evaluation of the code in case for example you want to execute an expensive function on the thenDo. With only the Then and Else you are required to precalculate the results of the two branches and sometimes you just want to avoid that
Dec 6, 2023 at 20:18 comment added MrLowbob readability wise this is nice. feels a lot better than the 3 argument version. perhaps im missing something, but as the thenDo method still returns a value by directly evaluating the provided function, why would i ever put something in an anonymous function there, and just return "value * 4" directly? so I could dynamically throw in other functions in there or ..?
