  • Return the first result using Async.Choice

    The snippet implements Async.Choice method that takes several workflows and creates a workflow, which returns the first result that was computed. After a workflow completes, remaining workflows are cancelled using the F# async cancellation mechanism. (The method doesn't handle exceptions.)

  • asyncChoose Computational Expression

    A simple computational expression to deal with asynchronous calls that return a choice type to signal failure. Useful for calling remote services that may fail - you can call the remote service with functions of type "request -> Async>" and then chain the results together.

  • Inclusive choice type: left value, right value, or both values

    F#'s Choice type is exclusive. The "Both" type defined here allows for the possibility that both values are present. This allows us to zip together sequences of unequal length. Based on Haskell's "These" type and corresponding alignment functions. (See http://hackage.haskell.org/package/these-0.8/docs/Data-These.html and http://hackage.haskell.org/package/these-0.8/docs/Data-Align.html)

  • Async.Choose operation

    Non-deterministic choice operation for F# asynchronous workflows - creates a workflow that returns the result of one of two asynchronous workflows, depending on which completes first. (The other workflow is not cancelled.)

  • An implementation of Async.Choice

    This is an implementation of the Async.Choice combinator that composes a sequence of workflows into one whose result is that of the first workflow that returns a *valid* result. You can think of it as a nondeterministic version of (Seq.tryPick id). This implementation draws ideas from Tomas Petricek's choice implementation in http://fssnip.net/6D. UPDATE (11/2015): Following the discussion in https://fslang.uservoice.com/forums/245727-f-language/suggestions/10575069-add-async-choice-to-fsharp-core I have updated the snippet.

  • "Guard" helper function for railway error handling

    Defines a "guard" function for railway-style error handing which allows you to concisely verify a condition when handling errors using Choice<'T, 'Error>. It checks the condition and if it is false, returns Choice2Of2 with the specified error value. If the condition is true then it returns Choice1Of2 (). Loosely inspired by Swift 2.0's guard keyword.
