Option Quick Reference
Option = value that might not exist. Some(value) or None.
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)
Transform
O.map(fn) // Transform inner value
O.flatMap(fn) // Chain Options (fn returns Option)
O.filter(predicate) // None if predicate false
Extract
O.getOrElse(() => default) // Get value or default
O.toNullable(opt) // Back to T | null
O.toUndefined(opt) // Back to T | undefined
O.match(onNone, onSome) // Pattern match
Common Patterns
import { pipe } from 'fp-ts/function'
import * as O from 'fp-ts/Option'
// Safe property access
pipe(
O.fromNullable(user),
O.map(u => u.profile),
O.flatMap(p => O.fromNullable(p.avatar)),
O.getOrElse(() => '/default-avatar.png')
)
// Array first element
import * as A from 'fp-ts/Array'
pipe(
users,
A.head, // Option<User>
O.map(u => u.name),
O.getOrElse(() => 'No users')
)
vs Nullable
// ❌ Nullable - easy to forget checks
const name = user?.profile?.name ?? 'Guest'
// ✅ Option - explicit, composable
pipe(
O.fromNullable(user),
O.flatMap(u => O.fromNullable(u.profile)),
O.map(p => p.name),
O.getOrElse(() => 'Guest')
)
Use Option when you need to chain operations on optional values.

Memory-First Protocol
Retrieve prior design decisions (color palettes, typography, spacing scales) to maintain visual consistency across sessions. Cache generated design tokens.
# Check for prior frontend/design context before starting
python3 execution/memory_manager.py auto --query "design system decisions and component patterns for Fp Option Ref"
Storing Results
After completing work, store frontend/design decisions for future sessions:
python3 execution/memory_manager.py store \
--content "Design system: adopted 8px grid, Inter font family, HSL color tokens with dark mode support" \
--type decision --project <project> \
--tags fp-option-ref frontend
Multi-Agent Collaboration
Share design decisions with backend agents (API contract changes) and QA agents (visual regression baselines).
python3 execution/cross_agent_context.py store \
--agent "<your-agent>" \
--action "Implemented UI components — new design system with accessibility compliance (WCAG 2.1 AA)" \
--project <project>
Design Memory Persistence
Store design system tokens and component decisions in Qdrant so any agent on any platform (Claude, Gemini, Cursor) can retrieve and apply consistent styling.
