# Option
Probably the most opinionated implementation of the Option type for typescript.
## Features:
- Large amount of helpers (curently 25), more than f#'s and elm's core libraries combined.
- Typesafe:
```ts
const foo0: Option<string> = None // works
const foo1: Option<string> = Some('foo1') // works
const foo2: Option<string> = 'foo2' // errors out
const foo3: Option<string> = null // errors out
const foo4: Option<string> = Some(4) // errors out
```
- Native equality:
```ts
Some(7) === Some(7) // true
Some(7) === Some(5) // false
Some(7) === None // false
```
## Limitations
Both limitaions bellow come from the lack of nominal-typing offered by typescript and are inherited from the `Brand` type offered by the [utility-types](https://github.com/piotrwitek/utility-types) library
- Due to the way the library works (using the `Brand`
type from [utility-types](https://github.com/piotrwitezutility-types)) `Some(4) === 4` will return true, similarly to how `4 == "4"` returns true (except in this libraries case the `===` operator will behave the same way).
- The inner value of `Option` cannot have a `__brand` prop
(well, tehnically it can but it would be overwritten by the `Brand` type from [utility-types](https://github.com/piotrwitek/utility-types))
