Leverage Rust’s Option API methods like map
, and_then
, is_some()
, and filter
instead of manual pattern matching or nested conditional statements when working with optional values. This approach reduces code complexity, improves readability, and prevents common null-handling errors.
Avoid manual checks:
// Instead of this:
let is_there_an_active_payment_attempt_id = payment_intent.active_attempt_id.is_some();
if let Some(_customer_acceptance) = customer_acceptance {
// nested logic
}
// Use Option combinators:
payment_intent.active_attempt_id.map(|attempt_id| {
// handle the case when present
}).unwrap_or_else(|| {
// handle the None case
});
// For simple existence checks:
if customer_acceptance.is_some() {
// logic when present
}
Chain operations safely:
// Instead of nested match/if statements:
match connector_customer_id {
Some(connector_customer_id) => {
match update_token_expiry_based_on_schedule_time(state, &connector_customer_id, Some(s_time)).await {
Ok(_) => {}
Err(e) => { /* error handling */ }
}
}
None => { /* log warning */ }
}
// Use Option methods:
connector_customer_id
.map(|id| update_token_expiry_based_on_schedule_time(state, &id, Some(s_time)))
.transpose()?
.unwrap_or_else(|| logger::warn!("No connector customer id found"));
This pattern makes null safety explicit, reduces indentation levels, and leverages Rust’s type system to prevent null reference errors at compile time.
