(** Provides functionality for dealing with the ['a Js.undefined] type *)

(** Local alias for ['a Js.undefined] *)
type + 'a t = 'a Js.undefined

(** Constructs a value of ['a Js.undefined] containing a value of ['a] *)
external return : 'a -> 'a t = "%identity"

(** Returns [true] if the given value is [empty] ([undefined]), [false] otherwise *)
external test : 'a t -> bool =  "#is_undef"


(**
   @since 1.6.1
   Returns [true] if the given value is [empty] ([undefined])
*)
external testAny : 'a -> bool = "#is_undef"


(** The empty value, [undefined] *)
external empty : 'a t = "undefined" [@@bs.val]


(** Maps the contained value using the given function

If ['a Js.undefined] contains a value, that value is unwrapped, mapped to a ['b] using
the given function [a' -> 'b], then wrapped back up and returned as ['b Js.undefined]

@example {[
let maybeGreetWorld (maybeGreeting: string Js.undefined) =
  Js.Undefined.bind maybeGreeting (fun greeting -> greeting ^ " world!")
]}
*)
val bind : 'a t -> ('a -> 'b [@bs]) -> 'b t

(** Iterates over the contained value with the given function

If ['a Js.undefined] contains a value, that value is unwrapped and applied to
the given function.

@example {[
let maybeSay (maybeMessage: string Js.undefined) =
  Js.Undefined.iter maybeMessage (fun message -> Js.log message)
]}
*)
val iter : 'a t -> ('a -> unit [@bs]) -> unit

(** Maps ['a option] to ['a Js.undefined]

{%html:
<table>
<tr> <td>Some a <td>-> <td>return a
<tr> <td>None <td>-> <td>empty
</table>
%}
*)
val from_opt : 'a option -> 'a t

(** Maps ['a Js.undefined] to ['a option]

{%html:
<table>
<tr> <td>return a <td>-> <td>Some a
<tr> <td>empty <td>-> <td>None
</table>
%}
*)
external toOption : 'a t -> 'a option = "#undefined_to_opt"
external to_opt : 'a t -> 'a option = "#undefined_to_opt"
[@@deprecated "use toOpt instead"]
