The Result Type pattern offers a safer alternative to traditional try/catch error handling in TypeScript by returning structured success or error objects. This approach forces explicit handling of both outcomes through TypeScript's type system, preventing uncaught exceptions. The article demonstrates building a minimal Result implementation from scratch, then shows how the neverthrow library provides a more ergonomic solution with additional utilities. ESLint integration helps enforce consistent usage across teams.
