Option Quick Reference

Option = value that might not exist. Some(value) or None.

When to Use

• You need a quick fp-ts reference for nullable or optional values.
• The task involves eliminating null checks, safe property access, or optional chaining with Option.
• You want a short reference card rather than a full migration guide.

Create

import * as O from 'fp-ts/Option'

O.some(5)              // Some(5)
O.none                 // None
O.fromNullable(x)      // null/undefined → None, else Some(x)
O.fromPredicate(x > 0)(x) // false → None, true → Some(x)
