Failure Handling Reference ​

php
$result = Result::fail('timeout')
    ->otherwise(fn ($error, array $meta) => Result::fail(['code' => 'TIMEOUT', 'message' => $error], $meta));

otherwise(callable|object|array $next): Result ​

Runs only on failure.

  • plain return value -> recovery to success
  • returned Result -> kept as returned
  • success branch -> passed through unchanged

catchException(array $handlers, ?callable $fallback = null): Result ​

Matches Throwable failures by class.

  • unmatched Throwable failure -> original result if no fallback is provided
  • non-Throwable failure -> original result if no fallback is provided
  • handlers and fallback may return a plain value or a Result

recover(callable $fn): Result ​

Converts any failure into a success result.
