What does this symbol mean in ReasonML |
E.g
type something =
| SomeFunc()
| AnotherFunc()
I couldnt really find an answer on the ReasonML docs
Essentially, this particular one is a case of defining a custom type.
We are defining a new type called something, the values of which can be created using either the function SomeFunc or AnotherFunc.. More specifically, these functions are called Constructor Functions... Quite useful with pattern-matching.
You can read more about them in the OCaml documentation.
You can also find the pipe symbol (|) inside pattern-matching constructs, separating various cases/variations of match-patterns.
