Gleam decode Option

gleam add gledo

import gledo

pub fn main() {
  Some(123) |> dynamic.from |> gledo.decode_option // Ok(Some(123))

  None |> dynamic.from |> gledo.decode_option // Ok(None)

  123 |> dynamic.from |> gledo.decode_option // Error([DecodeError("Option", "Int", [])])
}

Further documentation can be found at https://hexdocs.pm/gledo.

Why not stdlib dynamic.optional?

dynamic.optional from stdlib has permissive design and will successfully decode any value.
If need to have strict decoding for Option value only, feel free to use gledo
