Function fromFunction

Lift from sync function to task resolving to said function result

Generally, functions are not considered tasks as they cannot be interrupted in any way However there may be cases when impure function performs actions leading to cancelling or failing the task they are called from Without such wrapper such cases would lead to ignoring said cancelation and continuilg task chain This function is mostly used internally and is not expected to be widely used except of some edge scenarios

If converted task is canceled or failed externally return value will be ignored without side-effects All tasks are no-trowing by default, any occured errors are returned as Left

Example

const cancelRef = { cancel: () => {} };

const task = Task.fromFunction(() => someFunction('someData'), cancelRef).map((result) => result.length);
