Can I use this to convert existing code?

Yes, the skill is specifically designed to help developers refactor imperative or OOP-style TypeScript into functional patterns using Functype's Scala-inspired API.

What is the Functype Claude Code Skill?

It is a specialized capability for Claude that provides guidance, API lookups, and code conversion patterns for the Functype functional programming library in TypeScript.

How does this skill help with error handling?

It helps replace standard try-catch blocks with the Try and Either types, allowing for more predictable and composable error management that doesn't break your application's flow.

What collections are supported by Functype?

It provides immutable versions of standard collections, including List, Set, and Map, featuring methods like map, flatMap, and fold for functional data processing.

Does it support pattern matching in TypeScript?

Yes, it includes documentation and implementation support for Match and Cond utilities to replace verbose switch statements and complex if-else chains.
