Whats the best way of converting an option to a failure?

effect✅Solved!

A library (Confect) is returning

Option<DatabaseGetResult>

Option<DatabaseGetResult>

. I would like to convert that to a failure.

Obviously I could do

if (Option.none(result)) { return Effect.fail(...) }

if (Option.none(result)) { return Effect.fail(...) }

but there's already a

Option.getOrThrow

Option.getOrThrow

and I guess I don't understand why there's not a

Option.getOrFail

Option.getOrFail

? Is there a reason for this?
