Iterating over Result
s
An Iter::map
operation might fail, for example:
Let's step through strategies for handling this.
Ignore the failed items with filter_map()
filter_map
calls a function and filters out the results that are None
.
Fail the entire operation with collect()
Result
implements FromIter
so that a vector of results (Vec<Result<T, E>>
)
can be turned into a result with a vector (Result<Vec<T>, E>
). Once an
Result::Err
is found, the iteration will terminate.
This same technique can be used with Option
.
Collect all valid values and failures with partition()
When you look at the results, you'll note that everything is still wrapped in
Result
. A little more boilerplate is needed for this.
