Branch between two Behavior values using a Behavior predicate.

Usage

choose evaluates a predicate Behavior first, then runs either the true branch or the false branch with the same input and context.

Use it when:

  • The branch decision itself may fail.
  • Branches need the full Flow runtime context.
  • You want predicate, true branch, and false branch errors represented in the returned type.
import { choose } from "@/lib/flow/choose";
import { task } from "@/lib/flow/task";


const isAdmin = task((user: { role: string }) => user.role === "admin");
const adminRoute = task((user: { role: string }) => ({ section: "admin", user }));
const userRoute = task((user: { role: string }) => ({ section: "user", user }));


const routeUser = choose(isAdmin, adminRoute, userRoute);

Behavior

The predicate runs first. Predicate failure returns immediately. Predicate success selects exactly one branch.

Predicate and selected-branch domain errors pass through. Cancellation is checked before predicate and before branch execution.

Types

Predicate and branch errors are unioned, and branch outputs are unioned.

Import from @/lib/flow/choose.

Composition Notes

Use choose when branch selection itself is a behavior that can fail.

Do not use choose when the predicate is a simple function; when is lighter.
