+
+It's a general-purpose result monad that allows you to create objects representing a success (`Solid::Result::Success`) or failure (`Solid::Result::Failure`).
+
+**What problem does it solve?**
+
+It allows you to consistently represent the concept of success and failure throughout your codebase.
+
+Furthermore, this abstraction exposes several features that will be useful to make the application flow react cleanly and securely to the result represented by these objects.
+
+Use it to enable the [Railway Oriented Programming](https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/rop/) pattern (superpower) in your code.

+## Supported Ruby
+
+This library is tested against:
+
+Version | 2.7 | 3.0 | 3.1 | 3.2 | 3.3 | Head
+---- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
+100% Coverage | ✅  | ✅  | ✅  | ✅  | ✅  | ✅
+
+## Installation
+
+Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
+
+```ruby
+gem 'solid-result'
+```
+
+And then execute:
+
+    $ bundle install
+
+If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:
+
+    $ gem install solid-result
+
+And require it in your code:
+
+    require 'solid/result'
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+## Usage
+
+To create a result, you must define a type (symbol) and its value (any kind of object). e.g.,
+
+```ruby
+Solid::Result::Success(:ok, :1)           #
+                                          # The value can be any kind of object
+Solid::Result::Failure(:err, 'the value') #
+```
+
+The reason for defining a `type` is that it is very common for a method/operation to return different types of successes or failures. Because of this, the `type` will always be required. e,g.,
+
+```ruby
+Solid::Result::Success(:ok)  #
+                             # The type is mandatory and the value is optional
+Solid::Result::Failure(:err) #
+```
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+#### `Solid::Result` *versus* `Result`
+
+This gem provides a way to create constant aliases for `Solid::Result` and other classes/modules.
+
+To enable it, you must call the `Solid::Result.configuration` method and pass a block to it. You can turn the aliases you want on/off in this block.
+
+```ruby
+Solid::Result.configuration do |config|
+  config.constant_alias.enable!('Result')
+end
+```
+
+So, instead of using `Solid::Result` everywhere, you can use `Result` as an alias/shortcut.
+
+```ruby
+Result::Success(:ok) # <Solid::Result::Success type=:ok value=nil>
+
+Result::Failure(:err) # <Solid::Result::Failure type=:err value=nil>
+```
+
+If you have enabled constant aliasing, all examples in this README that use `Solid::Result` can be implemented using `Result`.
+
+There are other aliases and configurations available. Check the [Solid::Result.configuration]() section for more information.
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+## Reference
+
+### Basic methods
+
+Both `Solid::Result::Success` and `Solid::Result::Failure` are composed of the same methods. Look at the basic ones:
+
+**Solid::Result::Success**
+
+```ruby
+################
+# With a value #
+################
+result = Solid::Result::Success(:ok, my: 'value')
+
+result.success?   # true
+result.failure?   # false
+result.type?(:ok) # true
+result.type       # :ok
+result.value      # {:my => "value"}
+
+###################
+# Without a value #
+###################
+result = Solid::Result::Success(:yes)
+
+result.success?    # true
+result.failure?    # false
+result.type?(:yes) # true
+result.type        # :yes
+result.value       # nil
+```
+
+**Solid::Result::Failure**
+
+```ruby
+################
+# With a value #
+################
+result = Solid::Result::Failure(:err, 'my_value')
+
+result.success?    # false
+result.failure?    # true
+result.type?(:err) # true
+result.type        # :err
+result.value       # "my_value"
+
+###################
+# Without a value #
+###################
+result = Solid::Result::Failure(:no)
+
+result.success?   # false
+result.failure?   # true
+result.type?(:no) # true
+result.type       # :no
+result.value      # nil
+```
+
+In both cases, the `type` must be a symbol, and the `value` can be any kind of object.
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+#### Checking types with `result.is?` or `method missing`
+
+Beyond the `type?` method, you can also use the `is?` method to check the result type. If you want to check the type directly, you can write the type using a method that ends with a question mark.
+
+```ruby
+result = Solid::Result::Success(:ok)
+
+result.is?(:ok) # true
+result.ok?      # true
+
+result = Solid::Result::Failure(:err)
+
+result.is?(:err) # true
+result.err?      # true
+```
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+#### Checking types with `result.success?` or `result.failure?`
+
+`Solid::Result#success?` and `Solid::Result#failure?` are methods that allow you to check if the result is a success or a failure.
+
+You can also check the result type by passing an argument to it. For example, `result.success?(:ok)` will check if the result is a success and if the type is `:ok`.
+
+```ruby
+result = Solid::Result::Success(:ok)
+
+result.success?(:ok)
+
+# This is the same as:
+
+result.success? && result.type == :ok
+```
+
+The same is valid for `Solid::Result#failure?`.
+
+```ruby
+result = Solid::Result::Failure(:err)
+
+result.failure?(:err)
+
+# This is the same as:
+
+result.failure? && result.type == :err
+```
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+### Result Hooks
+
+Result hooks are methods that allow you to execute a block of code based on the type of result obtained.
+To demonstrate their use, I will implement a method that can divide two numbers.
+
+```ruby
+def divide(arg1, arg2)
+  arg1.is_a?(::Numeric) or return Solid::Result::Failure(:invalid_arg, 'arg1 must be numeric')
+  arg2.is_a?(::Numeric) or return Solid::Result::Failure(:invalid_arg, 'arg2 must be numeric')
+
+  return Solid::Result::Failure(:division_by_zero, 'arg2 must not be zero') if arg2.zero?
+
+  Solid::Result::Success(:division_completed, arg1 / arg2)
+end
+```
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+#### `result.on`
+
+When you use `Solid::Result#on`, the block will be executed only when the type matches the result type.
+
+However, even if the block is executed, the method will always return the result itself.
+
+The value of the result will be available as the first argument of the block.
+
+```ruby
+result = divide(nil, 2)
+#<Solid::Result::Failure type=:invalid_arg data='arg1 must be numeric'>
+
+output =
+  result
+    .on(:invalid_arg) { |msg| puts msg }
+    .on(:division_by_zero) { |msg| puts msg }
+    .on(:division_completed) { |number| puts number }
+
+# The code above will print 'arg1 must be numeric' and return the result itself.
+
+result.object_id == output.object_id # true
+```
+
+You can define multiple types to be handled by the same hook/block
+```ruby
+result = divide(4, 0)
+
+output =
+  result.on(:invalid_arg, :division_by_zero, :division_completed) { |value| puts value }
+
+# The code above will print 'arg2 must not be zero' and return the result itself.
+
+result.object_id == output.object_id # true
+```
+
+*PS: The `divide()` implementation is [here](#result-hooks).*
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+#### `result.on_type`
+
+`Solid::Result#on_type` is an alias of `Solid::Result#on`.
+
+```ruby
+result = divide(nil, 2)
+#<Solid::Result::Failure type=:invalid_arg data='arg1 must be numeric'>
+
+output =
+  result
+    .on_type(:invalid_arg, :division_by_zero) { |msg| puts msg }
+    .on_type(:division_completed) { |number| puts number }
+
+# The code above will print 'arg1 must be numeric' and return the result itself.
+
+result.object_id == output.object_id # true
+```
+
+*PS: The `divide()` implementation is [here](#result-hooks).*
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+#### `result.on_success`
+
+The `Solid::Result#on_success` method is quite similar to the `Solid::Result#on` hook, but with a few key differences:
+
+1. It will only execute the block of code if the result is a success.
+2. If the type declaration is not included, the method will execute the block for any successful result, regardless of its type.
+
+```ruby
+# In both examples, it executes the block and returns the result itself.
+
+divide(4, 2).on_success { |number| puts number }
+
+divide(4, 2).on_success(:division_completed) { |number| puts number }
+
+# It doesn't execute the block as the type is different.
+
+divide(4, 4).on_success(:ok) { |value| puts value }
+
+# It doesn't execute the block, as the result is a success, but the hook expects a failure.
+
+divide(4, 4).on_failure { |error| puts error }
+```
+
+*PS: The `divide()` implementation is [here](#result-hooks).*
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+#### `result.on_failure`
+
+It is the opposite of `Result#on_success`:
+
+1. It will only execute the block of code if the result is a failure.
+2. If the type declaration is not included, the method will execute the block for any failed result, regardless of its type.
+
+```ruby
+# In both examples, it executes the block and returns the result itself.
+
+divide(nil, 2).on_failure { |error| puts error }
+
+divide(4, 0).on_failure(:division_by_zero) { |error| puts error }
+
+# It doesn't execute the block as the type is different.
+
+divide(4, 0).on_failure(:invalid_arg) { |error| puts error }
+
+# It doesn't execute the block, as the result is a failure, but the hook expects a success.
+
+divide(4, 0).on_success { |number| puts number }
+```
+
+*PS: The `divide()` implementation is [here](#result-hooks).*
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+#### `result.on_unknown`
+
+`Solid::Result#on_unknown` will execute the block when no other hook (`#on`, `#on_type`, `#on_failure`, `#on_success`) has been executed.
+
+Regardless of the block being executed, the method will always return the result itself.
+
+The value of the result will be available as the first argument of the block.
+
+```ruby
+divide(4, 2)
+  .on(:invalid_arg) { |msg| puts msg }
+  .on(:division_by_zero) { |msg| puts msg }
+  .on_unknown { |value, type| puts [type, value].inspect }
+
+# The code above will print '[:division_completed, 2]' and return the result itself.
+```
+
+*PS: The `divide()` implementation is [here](#result-hooks).*
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+#### `result.handle`
+
+This method lets you define blocks for each hook (type, failure, or success), but instead of returning itself, it will return the output of the first match/block execution.
+
+```ruby
+divide(4, 2).handle do |result|
+  result.success { |number| number }
+  result.failure(:invalid_arg) { |err| puts err }
+  result.type(:division_by_zero) { raise ZeroDivisionError }
+  result.unknown { raise NotImplementedError }
+end
+
+#or
+
+divide(4, 2).handle do |on|
+  on.success { |number| number }
+  on.failure { |err| puts err }
+  on.unknown { raise NotImplementedError }
+end
+
+#or
+
+divide(4, 2).handle do |on|
+  on.type(:invalid_arg) { |err| puts err }
+  on.type(:division_by_zero) { raise ZeroDivisionError }
+  on.type(:division_completed) { |number| number }
+  on.unknown { raise NotImplementedError }
+end
+
+# or
+
+divide(4, 2).handle do |on|
+  on[:invalid_arg] { |err| puts err }
+  on[:division_by_zero] { raise ZeroDivisionError }
+  on[:division_completed] { |number| number }
+  on.unknown { raise NotImplementedError }
+end
+
+# The [] syntax 👆 is an alias of #type.
+```
+
+**Notes:**
+* You can define multiple types to be handled by the same hook/block
+* If the type is missing, it will execute the block for any success or failure handler.
+* The `#type` and `#[]` handlers require at least one type/argument.
+
+*PS: The `divide()` implementation is [here](#result-hooks).*
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+### Result Value
+
+To access the result value, you can simply call `Solid::Result#value`.
+
+However, there may be instances where you need to retrieve the value of a successful result or a default value if the result is a failure. In such cases, you can make use of `Solid::Result#value_or`.
+
+#### `result.value_or`
+
+`BCCD::Result#value_or` returns the value when the result is a success. However, if it is a failure, the given block will be executed, and its outcome will be returned.
+
+```ruby
+def divide(arg1, arg2)
+  arg1.is_a?(::Numeric) or return Solid::Result::Failure(:invalid_arg)
+  arg2.is_a?(::Numeric) or return Solid::Result::Failure(:invalid_arg)
+
+  return Solid::Result::Failure(:division_by_zero) if arg2.zero?
+
+  Solid::Result::Success(:division_completed, arg1 / arg2)
+end
+
+# When the result is success
+divide(4, 2).value_or { 0 } # 2
+
+# When the result is failure
+divide('4', 2).value_or { 0 } # 0
+divide(4, '2').value_or { 0 } # 0
+divide(100, 0).value_or { 0 } # 0
+```
+
+*PS: The `divide()` implementation is [here](#result-hooks).*
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+### Result Data
+
+#### `result.data`
+
+The `Solid::Result#data` exposes the result attributes (kind, type, value) directly and as a hash (`to_h`/`to_hash`) and array (`to_a`/`to_ary`).
+
+This is helpful if you need to access the result attributes generically or want to use Ruby features like splat (`*`) and double splat (`**`) operators.
+
+See the examples below to understand how to use it.
+
+```ruby
+result = Solid::Result::Success(:ok, 1)
+
+success_data = result.data # #<Solid::Result::Data kind=:success type=:ok value=1>
+
+success_data.kind  # :success
+success_data.type  # :ok
+success_data.value # 1
+
+success_data.to_h  # {:kind=>:success, :type=>:ok, :value=>1}
+success_data.to_a  # [:success, :ok, 1]
+
+kind, type, value = success_data
+
+[kind, type, value] # [:success, :ok, 1]
+
+def print_to_ary(kind, type, value)
+  puts [kind, type, value].inspect
+end
+
+def print_to_hash(kind:, type:, value:)
+  puts [kind, type, value].inspect
+end
+
+print_to_ary(*success_data)   # [:success, :ok, 1]
+
+print_to_hash(**success_data) # [:success, :ok, 1]
+```
+
+> **NOTE:** The example above uses a success result, but the same is valid for a failure result.
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+### Railway Oriented Programming
+
+["Railway Oriented Programming (ROP)"](https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/rop/)  is a programming technique that involves linking blocks together to form a sequence of operations, also known as a pipeline.
+If a failure occurs in any of the blocks, the pipeline is interrupted and subsequent blocks are skipped.
+
+The ROP technique allows you to structure your code in a way that expresses your logic as a series of operations, with the added benefit of stopping the process at the first detection of failure.
+
+If all blocks successfully execute, the final result of the pipeline will be a success.
+
+#### `result.and_then`
+
+```ruby
+module Divide
+  extend self
+
+  def call(arg1, arg2)
+    validate_numbers(arg1, arg2)
+      .and_then { |numbers| validate_nonzero(numbers) }
+      .and_then { |numbers| divide(numbers) }
+  end
+
+  private
+
+  def validate_numbers(arg1, arg2)
+    arg1.is_a?(::Numeric) or return Solid::Result::Failure(:invalid_arg, 'arg1 must be numeric')
+    arg2.is_a?(::Numeric) or return Solid::Result::Failure(:invalid_arg, 'arg2 must be numeric')
+
+    Solid::Result::Success(:ok, [arg1, arg2])
+  end
+
+  def validate_nonzero(numbers)
+    return Solid::Result::Success(:ok, numbers) if numbers.last.nonzero?
+
+    Solid::Result::Failure(:division_by_zero, 'arg2 must not be zero')
+  end
+
+  def divide((number1, number2))
+    Solid::Result::Success(:division_completed, number1 / number2)
+  end
+end
+```
+
+Example of outputs:
+
+```ruby
+Divide.call('4', 2)
+#<Solid::Result::Failure type=:invalid_arg data="arg1 must be numeric">
+
+Divide.call(2, '2')
+#<Solid::Result::Failure type=:invalid_arg data="arg2 must be numeric">
+
+Divide.call(2, 0)
+#<Solid::Result::Failure type=:division_by_zero data="arg2 must not be zero">
+
+Divide.call(2, 2)
+#<Solid::Result::Success type=:division_completed data=1>
+```
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+#### `Solid::Result.mixin`
+
+This method generates a module that any object can include or extend. It adds two methods to the target object: `Success()` and `Failure()`.
+
+The main difference between these methods and `Solid::Result::Success()`/`Solid::Result::Failure()` is that the former will utilize the target object (which has received the include/extend) as the result's source.
+
+Because the result has a source, the `#and_then` method can call methods from it.
+

+
+##### Important Requirement
+
+To use the `#and_then` method to call methods, they must use `Success()` and `Failure()` to produce the results.
+
+If you try to use `Solid::Result::Success()`/`Solid::Result::Failure()`, or results from another `Solid::Result.mixin` instance with `#and_then`, it will raise an error because the sources are different.
+
+**Note:** You can still use the block syntax, but all the results must be produced by the source's `Success()` and `Failure()` methods.
+
+```ruby
+module ValidateNonzero
+  extend self, Solid::Result.mixin
+
+  def call(numbers)
+    return Success(:ok, numbers) unless numbers.last.zero?
+
+    Failure(:division_by_zero, 'arg2 must not be zero')
+  end
+end
+
+module Divide
+  extend self, Solid::Result.mixin
+
+  def call(arg1, arg2)
+    validate_numbers(arg1, arg2)
+      .and_then(:validate_nonzero)
+      .and_then(:divide)
+  end
+
+  private
+
+  def validate_numbers(arg1, arg2)
+    arg1.is_a?(::Numeric) or return Failure(:invalid_arg, 'arg1 must be numeric')
+    arg2.is_a?(::Numeric) or return Failure(:invalid_arg, 'arg2 must be numeric')
+
+    Success(:ok, [arg1, arg2])
+  end
+
+  def validate_nonzero(numbers)
+    ValidateNonzero.call(numbers) # This will raise an error
+  end
+
+  def divide((number1, number2))
+    Success(:division_completed, number1 / number2)
+  end
+end
+```
+
+Look at the error produced by the code above:
+
+```ruby
+Divide.call(2, 0)
+
+# You cannot call #and_then and return a result that does not belong to the same source! (Solid::Result::Error::InvalidResultSource)
+# Expected source: Divide
+# Given source: ValidateNonzero
+# Given result: #<Solid::Result::Failure type=:division_by_zero value="arg2 must not be zero">
+```
+
+In order to fix this, you must handle the result produced by `ValidateNonzero.call()` and return a result that belongs to the same source.
+
+```ruby
+module ValidateNonzero
+  extend self, Solid::Result.mixin
+
+  def call(numbers)
+    return Success(:ok, numbers) unless numbers.last.zero?
+
+    Failure(:division_by_zero, 'arg2 must not be zero')
+  end
+end
+
+module Divide
+  extend self, Solid::Result.mixin
+
+  def call(arg1, arg2)
+    validate_numbers(arg1, arg2)
+      .and_then(:validate_nonzero)
+      .and_then(:divide)
+  end
+
+  private
+
+  def validate_numbers(arg1, arg2)
+    arg1.is_a?(::Numeric) or return Failure(:invalid_arg, 'arg1 must be numeric')
+    arg2.is_a?(::Numeric) or return Failure(:invalid_arg, 'arg2 must be numeric')
+
+    Success(:ok, [arg1, arg2])
+  end
+
+  def validate_nonzero(numbers)
+    # In this case we are handling the result from other source
+    # and returning our own
+    ValidateNonzero.call(numbers).handle do |on|
+      on.success { |numbers| Success(:ok, numbers) }
+
+      on.failure { |err| Failure(:division_by_zero, err) }
+    end
+  end
+
+  def divide((number1, number2))
+    Success(:division_completed, number1 / number2)
+  end
+end
+```
+
+Look at the output of the code above:
+
+```ruby
+Divide.call(2, 0)
+
+#<Solid::Result::Failure type=:division_by_zero value="arg2 must not be zero">
+```
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+##### Dependency Injection
+
+The `Solid::Result#and_then` accepts a second argument that will be used to share a value with the source's method.
+To receive this argument, the source's method must have an arity of two, where the first argument will be the result value and the second will be the injected value.
+
+```ruby
+require 'logger'
+
+module Divide
+  extend self, Solid::Result.mixin
+
+  def call(arg1, arg2, logger: ::Logger.new(STDOUT))
+    validate_numbers(arg1, arg2)
+      .and_then(:validate_nonzero, logger)
+      .and_then(:divide, logger)
+  end
+
+  private
+
+  def validate_numbers(arg1, arg2)
+    arg1.is_a?(::Numeric) or return Failure(:invalid_arg, 'arg1 must be numeric')
+    arg2.is_a?(::Numeric) or return Failure(:invalid_arg, 'arg2 must be numeric')
+
+    Success(:ok, [arg1, arg2])
+  end
+
+  def validate_nonzero(numbers, logger)
+    if numbers.last.zero?
+      logger.error('arg2 must not be zero')
+
+      Failure(:division_by_zero, 'arg2 must not be zero')
+    else
+      logger.info('The numbers are valid')
+
+      Success(:ok, numbers)
+    end
+  end
+
+  def divide((number1, number2), logger)
+    division = number1 / number2
+
+    logger.info("The division result is #{division}")
+
+    Success(:division_completed, division)
+  end
+end
+
+Divide.call(4, 2)
+# I, [2023-10-11T00:08:05.546237 #18139]  INFO -- : The numbers are valid
+# I, [2023-10-11T00:08:05.546337 #18139]  INFO -- : The division result is 2
+#=> #<Solid::Result::Success type=:division_completed value=2>
+
+Divide.call(4, 2, logger: Logger.new(IO::NULL))
+#=> #<Solid::Result::Success type=:division_completed value=2>
+```
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+##### Add-ons
+
+The `Solid::Result.mixin` also accepts the `config:` argument. It is a hash that will be used to define custom behaviors for the mixin.
+
+**given**
+
+This addon is enabled by default. It will create the `Given(value)` method. Use it to add a value to the result chain and invoke the next step (through `and_then`).
+
+You can turn it off by passing `given: false` to the `config:` argument or using the `Solid::Result.configuration`.
+
+**continue**
+
+This addon will create the `Continue(value)` method and change the `Success()` behavior to terminate the step chain.
+
+So, if you want to advance to the next step, you must use `Continue(value)` instead of `Success(type, value)`. Otherwise, the step chain will be terminated.
+
+In this example below, the `validate_nonzero` will return a `Success(:division_completed, 0)` and terminate the chain if the first number is zero.
+
+```ruby
+module Divide
+  extend self, Solid::Result.mixin(config: { addon: { continue: true } })
+
+  def call(arg1, arg2)
+    Given([arg1, arg2])
+      .and_then(:validate_numbers)
+      .and_then(:validate_nonzero)
+      .and_then(:divide)
+  end
+
+  private
+
+  def validate_numbers(numbers)
+    number1, number2 = numbers
+
+    number1.is_a?(::Numeric) or return Failure(:invalid_arg, 'arg1 must be numeric')
+    number2.is_a?(::Numeric) or return Failure(:invalid_arg, 'arg2 must be numeric')
+
+    Continue(numbers)
+  end
+
+  def validate_nonzero(numbers)
+    return Failure(:division_by_zero, 'arg2 must not be zero') if numbers.last.zero?
+
+    return Success(:division_completed, 0) if numbers.first.zero?
+
+    Continue(numbers)
+  end
+
+  def divide((number1, number2))
+    Success(:division_completed, number1 / number2)
+  end
+end
+```
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+### `Solid::Result::Expectations`
+
+This feature lets you define contracts for your results' types and values. There are two ways to use it: the standalone (`Solid::Result::Expectations.new`) and the mixin (`Solid::Result::Expectations.mixin`) mode.
+
+It was designed to ensure all the aspects of the result's type and value. So, an error will be raised if you try to create or handle a result with an unexpected type or value.
+
+#### Standalone *versus* Mixin mode
+
+The _**standalone mode**_ creates an object that knows how to produce and validate results based on the defined expectations. Look at the example below:
+
+```ruby
+module Divide
+  Result = Solid::Result::Expectations.new(
+    success: %i[numbers division_completed],
+    failure: %i[invalid_arg division_by_zero]
+  )
+
+  def self.call(arg1, arg2)
+    arg1.is_a?(Numeric) or return Result::Failure(:invalid_arg, 'arg1 must be numeric')
+    arg2.is_a?(Numeric) or return Result::Failure(:invalid_arg, 'arg2 must be numeric')
+
+    arg2.zero? and return Result::Failure(:division_by_zero, 'arg2 must not be zero')
+
+    Result::Success(:division_completed, arg1 / arg2)
+  end
+end
+```
+
+In the code above, we define a constant `Divide::Result`. And because of this (it is a constant), we can use it inside and outside the module.
+
+Look what happens if you try to create a result without one of the expected types.
+
+```ruby
+Divide::Result::Success(:ok)
+# type :ok is not allowed. Allowed types: :numbers, :division_completed
+# (Solid::Result::Contract::Error::UnexpectedType)
+
+Divide::Result::Failure(:err)
+# type :err is not allowed. Allowed types: :invalid_arg, :division_by_zero
+# (Solid::Result::Contract::Error::UnexpectedType)
+```
+
+The _**mixin mode**_ is similar to `Solid::Result::Mixin`, but it also defines the expectations for the result's types and values.
+
+```ruby
+class Divide
+  include Solid::Result::Expectations.mixin(
+    success: %i[numbers division_completed],
+    failure: %i[invalid_arg division_by_zero]
+  )
+
+  def call(arg1, arg2)
+    validate_numbers(arg1, arg2)
+      .and_then(:validate_nonzero)
+      .and_then(:divide)
+  end
+
+  private
+
+  def validate_numbers(arg1, arg2)
+    arg1.is_a?(Numeric) or return Failure(:invalid_arg, 'arg1 must be numeric')
+    arg2.is_a?(Numeric) or return Failure(:invalid_arg, 'arg2 must be numeric')
+
+    Success(:numbers, [arg1, arg2])
+  end
+
+  def validate_nonzero(numbers)
+    return Success(:numbers, numbers) unless numbers.last.zero?
+
+    Failure(:division_by_zero, 'arg2 must not be zero')
+  end
+
+  def divide((number1, number2))
+    Success(:division_completed, number1 / number2)
+  end
+end
+```
+
+This mode also defines an `Result` constant to be used inside and outside the module.
+
+> **PROTIP:**
+> You can use the `Result` constant to mock the result's type and value in your tests. As they will have the exact expectations, your tests will check if the result clients are handling the result correctly.
+
+Now that you know the two modes, let's understand how expectations can be beneficial and powerful for defining contracts.
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+#### Type checking - Result Hooks
+
+The `Solid::Result::Expectations` will check if the type of the result is valid. This checking will be performed in all methods that depend on the result’s type, such as `#success?`, `#failure?`, `#on`, `#on_type`, `#on_success`, `#on_failure`, and `#handle`.
+
+##### `#success?` and `#failure?`
+
+When checking whether a result is a success or failure, `Solid::Result::Expectations` will also verify if the result type is valid/expected. In case of an invalid type, an error will be raised.
+
+**Success example:**
+
+```ruby
+result = Divide.new.call(10, 2)
+
+result.success?                      # true
+result.success?(:numbers)            # false
+result.success?(:division_completed) # true
+
+result.success?(:ok)
+# type :ok is not allowed. Allowed types: :numbers, :division_completed
+# (Solid::Result::Contract::Error::UnexpectedType)
+```
+
+**Failure example:**
+
+```ruby
+result = Divide.new.call(10, '2')
+
+result.failure?                    # true
+result.failure?(:invalid_arg)      # true
+result.failure?(:division_by_zero) # false
+
+result.failure?(:err)
+# type :err is not allowed. Allowed types: :invalid_arg, :division_by_zero
+# (Solid::Result::Contract::Error::UnexpectedType)
+```
+
+*PS: The `Divide` implementation is [here](#standalone-versus-mixin-mode).*
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+##### `#on` and `#on_type`
+
+If you use `#on` or `#on_type` to execute a block, `Solid::Result::Expectations` will check whether the result type is valid/expected. Otherwise, an error will be raised.
+
+```ruby
+result = Divide.new.call(10, 2)
+
+result
+  .on(:invalid_arg, :division_by_zero) { |msg| puts msg }
+  .on(:division_completed) { |number| puts "The result is #{number}" }
+
+# The code above will print 'The result is 5'
+
+result.on(:number) { |_| :this_type_does_not_exist }
+# type :number is not allowed. Allowed types: :numbers, :division_completed, :invalid_arg, :division_by_zero
+# (Solid::Result::Contract::Error::UnexpectedType)
+```
+
+*PS: The `Divide` implementation is [here](#standalone-versus-mixin-mode).*
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+##### `#on_success` and `#on_failure`
+
+If you use `#on_success` or `#on_failure` to execute a block, `Solid::Result::Expectations` will check whether the result type is valid/expected. Otherwise, an error will be raised.
+
+```ruby
+result = Divide.new.call(10, '2')
+
+result
+  .on_failure(:invalid_arg, :division_by_zero) { |msg| puts msg }
+  .on_success(:division_completed) { |number| puts "The result is #{number}" }
+
+result
+  .on_success { |number| puts "The result is #{number}" }
+  .on_failure { |msg| puts msg }
+
+# Both codes above will print 'arg2 must be numeric'
+
+result.on_success(:ok) { |_| :this_type_does_not_exist }
+# type :ok is not allowed. Allowed types: :numbers, :division_completed
+# (Solid::Result::Contract::Error::UnexpectedType)
+
+result.on_failure(:err) { |_| :this_type_does_not_exist }
+# type :err is not allowed. Allowed types: :invalid_arg, :division_by_zero
+# (Solid::Result::Contract::Error::UnexpectedType)
+```
+
+*PS: The `Divide` implementation is [here](#standalone-versus-mixin-mode).*
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+##### `#handle`
+
+The `Solid::Result::Expectations` will also be applied on all the handlers defined by the `#handle` method/block.
+
+```ruby
+result = Divide.call(10, 2)
+
+result.handle do |on|
+  on.type(:ok) { |_| :this_type_does_not_exist }
+end
+# type :ok is not allowed. Allowed types: :numbers, :division_completed, :invalid_arg, :division_by_zero (Solid::Result::Contract::Error::UnexpectedType)
+
+result.handle do |on|
+  on.success(:ok) { |_| :this_type_does_not_exist }
+end
+# type :ok is not allowed. Allowed types: :numbers, :division_completed (Solid::Result::Contract::Error::UnexpectedType)
+
+result.handle do |on|
+  on.failure(:err) { |_| :this_type_does_not_exist }
+end
+# type :err is not allowed. Allowed types: :invalid_arg, :division_by_zero (Solid::Result::Contract::Error::UnexpectedType)
+```
+
+*PS: The `Divide` implementation is [here](#standalone-versus-mixin-mode).*
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+#### Type checking - Result Creation
+
+The `Solid::Result::Expectations` will be used on the result creation `Success()` and `Failure()` methods. So, when the result type is valid/expected, the result will be created. Otherwise, an error will be raised.
+
+This works for both modes (standalone and mixin).
+
+##### Mixin mode
+
+```ruby
+module Divide
+  extend Solid::Result::Expectations.mixin(success: :ok, failure: :err)
+
+  def self.call(arg1, arg2)
+    arg1.is_a?(Numeric) or return Failure(:invalid_arg, 'arg1 must be numeric')
+    arg2.is_a?(Numeric) or return Failure(:invalid_arg, 'arg2 must be numeric')
+
+    arg2.zero? and return Failure(:division_by_zero, 'arg2 must not be zero')
+
+    Success(:division_completed, arg1 / arg2)
+  end
+end
+
+Divide.call('4', 2)
+# type :invalid_arg is not allowed. Allowed types: :err
+# (Solid::Result::Contract::Error::UnexpectedType)
+
+Divide.call(4, 2)
+# type :division_completed is not allowed. Allowed types: :ok
+# (Solid::Result::Contract::Error::UnexpectedType)
+```
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+##### Standalone mode
+
+```ruby
+module Divide
+  Result = Solid::Result::Expectations.new(success: :ok, failure: :err)
+
+  def self.call(arg1, arg2)
+    arg1.is_a?(Numeric) or return Result::Failure(:invalid_arg, 'arg1 must be numeric')
+    arg2.is_a?(Numeric) or return Result::Failure(:invalid_arg, 'arg2 must be numeric')
+
+    arg2.zero? and return Result::Failure(:division_by_zero, 'arg2 must not be zero')
+
+    Result::Success(:division_completed, arg1 / arg2)
+  end
+end
+
+Divide.call('4', 2)
+# type :invalid_arg is not allowed. Allowed types: :err
+# (Solid::Result::Contract::Error::UnexpectedType)
+
+Divide.call(4, 2)
+# type :division_completed is not allowed. Allowed types: :ok
+# (Solid::Result::Contract::Error::UnexpectedType)
+```
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+#### Value checking - Result Creation
+
+The `Result::Expectations` supports two types of validations. The first is the type checking only, and the second is the type and value checking.
+
+To define expectations for your result's values, you must declare a Hash with the type as the key and the value as the value. A value validator is any object that responds to `#===` (case equality operator).
+
+**Mixin mode:**
+
+```ruby
+module Divide
+  extend Solid::Result::Expectations.mixin(
+    success: {
+      numbers: ->(value) { value.is_a?(Array) && value.size == 2 && value.all?(Numeric) },
+      division_completed: Numeric
+    },
+    failure: {
+      invalid_arg: String,
+      division_by_zero: String
+    }
+  )
+
+  def self.call(arg1, arg2)
+    arg1.is_a?(Numeric) or return Failure(:invalid_arg, 'arg1 must be numeric')
+    arg2.is_a?(Numeric) or return Failure(:invalid_arg, 'arg2 must be numeric')
+
+    arg2.zero? and return Failure(:division_by_zero, 'arg2 must not be zero')
+
+    Success(:division_completed, arg1 / arg2)
+  end
+end
+```
+
+**Standalone mode:**
+
+```ruby
+module Divide
+  Result = Solid::Result::Expectations.new(
+    success: {
+      numbers: ->(value) { value.is_a?(Array) && value.size == 2 && value.all?(Numeric) },
+      division_completed: Numeric
+    },
+    failure: {
+      invalid_arg: String,
+      division_by_zero: String
+    }
+  )
+
+  def self.call(arg1, arg2)
+    arg1.is_a?(Numeric) or return Result::Failure(:invalid_arg, 'arg1 must be numeric')
+    arg2.is_a?(Numeric) or return Result::Failure(:invalid_arg, 'arg2 must be numeric')
+
+    arg2.zero? and return Result::Failure(:division_by_zero, 'arg2 must not be zero')
+
+    Result::Success(:division_completed, arg1 / arg2)
+  end
+end
+```
+
+The value validation will only be performed through the methods `Success()` and `Failure()`.
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>

+##### Success()

+# value "2" is not allowed for :division_completed type (Solid::Result::Contract::Error::UnexpectedValue)
+```
+
+##### Failure()
+
+```ruby
+Divide::Result::Failure(:err)
+# type :err is not allowed. Allowed types: :invalid_arg, :division_by_zero (Solid::Result::Contract::Error::UnexpectedType)
+
+Divide::Result::Failure(:invalid_arg, :arg1_must_be_numeric)
+# value :arg1_must_be_numeric is not allowed for :invalid_arg type (Solid::Result::Contract::Error::UnexpectedValue)
+
+Divide::Result::Failure(:division_by_zero, msg: 'arg2 must not be zero')
+# value {:msg=>"arg2 must not be zero"} is not allowed for :division_by_zero type (Solid::Result::Contract::Error::UnexpectedValue)
+```
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+##### Pattern Matching Support
+
+The value checking has support for handling pattern-matching errors, and the cleanest way to do it is using the one-line pattern matching operators (`=>` since Ruby 3.0) and (`in` Ruby 2.7).
+
+How does this operator work? They raise an error when the pattern does not match but returns nil when it matches.
+
+Because of this, you will need to enable `nil` as a valid value checking. You can do it through the `Solid::Result.configuration` or by allowing it directly on the mixin config.
+
+```ruby
+module Divide
+  extend Solid::Result::Expectations.mixin(
+    config: {
+      pattern_matching: { nil_as_valid_value_checking: true }
+    },
+    success: {
+      division_completed: ->(value) { value => (Integer | Float) }
+    },
+    failure: { invalid_arg: String, division_by_zero: String }
+  )
+
+  def self.call(arg1, arg2)
+    arg1.is_a?(Numeric) or return Failure(:invalid_arg, 'arg1 must be numeric')
+    arg2.is_a?(Numeric) or return Failure(:invalid_arg, 'arg2 must be numeric')
+
+    arg2.zero? and return Failure(:division_by_zero, 'arg2 must not be zero')
+
+    Success(:division_completed, String(arg1 / arg2))
+  end
+end
+
+Divide.call(10, 5)
+# value "2" is not allowed for :division_completed type ("2": Float === "2" does not return true) (Solid::Result::Contract::Error::UnexpectedValue)
+```
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+#### `Solid::Result::Expectations.mixin` add-ons
+
+The `Solid::Result::Expectations.mixin` also accepts the `config:` argument. It is a hash that can be used to define custom behaviors for the mixin.
+
+**Continue**
+
+It is similar to `Solid::Result.mixin(config: { addon: { continue: true } })`. The key difference is that the expectations will ignore the `Continue(value)`.
+
+Based on this, use the `Success()` to produce a terminal result and `Continue()` to produce a result that will be used in the next step.
+
+```ruby
+class Divide
+  include Solid::Result::Expectations.mixin(
+    config: { addon: { continue: true } },
+    success: :division_completed,
+    failure: %i[invalid_arg division_by_zero]
+  )
+
+  def call(arg1, arg2)
+    validate_numbers(arg1, arg2)
+      .and_then(:validate_nonzero)
+      .and_then(:divide)
+  end
+
+  private
+
+  def validate_numbers(arg1, arg2)
+    arg1.is_a?(::Numeric) or return Failure(:invalid_arg, 'arg1 must be numeric')
+    arg2.is_a?(::Numeric) or return Failure(:invalid_arg, 'arg2 must be numeric')
+
+    Continue([arg1, arg2])
+  end
+
+  def validate_nonzero(numbers)
+    return Continue(numbers) unless numbers.last.zero?
+
+    Failure(:division_by_zero, 'arg2 must not be zero')
+  end
+
+  def divide((number1, number2))
+    Success(:division_completed, number1 / number2)
+  end
+end
+
+result = Divide.new.call(4, 2)
+# => #<Solid::Result::Success type=:division_completed value=2>
+
+# The example below shows an error because the :ok type is not allowed.
+# But look at the allowed types have only one type (:division_completed).
+# This is because the :_continue_ type is ignored by the expectations.
+#
+result.success?(:ok)
+# type :ok is not allowed. Allowed types: :division_completed (Solid::Result::Contract::Error::UnexpectedType)
+```
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+### `Solid::Output`
+
+The `Solid::Output` is a `Solid::Result`, meaning it has all the features of the `Solid::Result`. The main difference is that it only accepts keyword arguments as a value, which applies to the `and_then`: The called methods must receive keyword arguments, and the dependency injection will be performed through keyword arguments.
+
+As the input/output are hashes, the results of each `and_then` call will automatically accumulate. This is useful in operations chaining, as the result of the previous operations will be automatically available for the next one. Because of this behavior, the `Solid::Output` has the `#and_expose` method to expose only the desired keys from the accumulated result.
+
+#### Defining successes and failures
+
+As the `Solid::Result`, you can declare success and failures directly from `Solid::Output`.
+
+```ruby
+Solid::Output::Success(:ok, a: 1, b: 2)
+#<Solid::Output::Success type=:ok value={:a=>1, :b=>2}>
+
+Solid::Output::Failure(:err, message: 'something went wrong')
+#<Solid::Output::Failure type=:err value={:message=>"something went wrong"}>
+```
+
+But different from `Solid::Result` that accepts any value, the `Solid::Output` only takes keyword arguments.
+
+```ruby
+Solid::Output::Success(:ok, [1, 2])
+# wrong number of arguments (given 2, expected 1) (ArgumentError)
+
+Solid::Output::Failure(:err, { message: 'something went wrong' })
+# wrong number of arguments (given 2, expected 1) (ArgumentError)
+
+#
+# Use ** to convert a hash to keyword arguments
+#
+Solid::Output::Success(:ok, **{ message: 'hashes can be converted to keyword arguments' })
+#<Solid::Output::Success type=:ok value={:message=>"hashes can be converted to keyword arguments"}>
+```
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+#### Hash methods
+
+The `Solid::Output` only accepts hashes as its values. Because of this, its instances have some Hash's methods to query/access the values. The available methods are:
+
+- `#slice` to extract only the desired keys.
+- `#[]`, `#dig`, `#fetch` to access the values.
+- `#values_at` and `#fetch_values` to get the values of the desired keys.
+
+```ruby
+result = Solid::Output::Success(:ok, a: 1, b: 2, c: {d: 4})
+
+result[:a]         # 1
+result.fetch(:a)   # 1
+result.dig(:c, :d) # 4
+
+result.slice(:a, :b) # {:a=>1, :b=>2}
+
+result.values_at(:a, :b) # [1, 2]
+result.fetch_values(:a, :b) # [1, 2]
+```
+
+These methods are available for `Solid::Output::Success` and `Solid::Output::Failure` instances.
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+#### `Solid::Output.mixin`
+
+As in the `Solid::Result`, you can use the `Solid::Output.mixin` to add the `Success()` and `Failure()` methods to your classes/modules.
+
+Let's see this feature and the data accumulation in action:
+
+##### Class example (Instance Methods)
+
+```ruby
+require 'logger'
+
+class Divide
+  include Solid::Output.mixin
+
+  def call(arg1, arg2, logger: ::Logger.new(STDOUT))
+    validate_numbers(arg1, arg2)
+      .and_then(:validate_nonzero)
+      .and_then(:divide, logger: logger)
+  end
+
+  private
+
+  def validate_numbers(arg1, arg2)
+    arg1.is_a?(::Numeric) or return Failure(:err, message: 'arg1 must be numeric')
+    arg2.is_a?(::Numeric) or return Failure(:err, message: 'arg2 must be numeric')
+
+    Success(:ok, number1: arg1, number2: arg2)
+  end
+
+  def validate_nonzero(number2:, **)
+    return Success(:ok) if number2.nonzero?
+
+    Failure(:err, message: 'arg2 must not be zero')
+  end
+
+  #
+  # The logger was injected via #and_then and keyword arguments
+  #
+  def divide(number1:, number2:, logger:)
+    result = number1 / number2
+
+    logger.info("The division result is #{result}")
+
+    Success(:ok, number: result)
+  end
+end
+
+Divide.new.call(10, 5)
+# I, [2023-10-27T01:51:46.905004 #76915]  INFO -- : The division result is 2
+#<Solid::Output::Success type=:ok value={:number=>2}>
+
+Divide.new.call('10', 5)
+#<Solid::Output::Failure type=:err value={:message=>"arg1 must be numeric"}>
+
+Divide.new.call(10, '5')
+#<Solid::Output::Failure type=:err value={:message=>"arg2 must be numeric"}>
+
+Divide.new.call(10, 0)
+#<Solid::Output::Failure type=:err value={:message=>"arg2 must not be zero"}>
+```
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+##### `and_expose`
+
+This allows you to expose only the desired keys from the accumulated result. It can be used with any `Solid::Output` object.
+
+Let's add it to the previous example:
+
+```ruby
+class Divide
+  include Solid::Output.mixin
+
+  def call(arg1, arg2)
+    validate_numbers(arg1, arg2)
+      .and_then(:validate_nonzero)
+      .and_then(:divide)
+      .and_expose(:division_completed, [:number])
+  end
+
+  private
+
+  def validate_numbers(arg1, arg2)
+    arg1.is_a?(::Numeric) or return Failure(:err, message: 'arg1 must be numeric')
+    arg2.is_a?(::Numeric) or return Failure(:err, message: 'arg2 must be numeric')
+
+    Success(:ok, number1: arg1, number2: arg2)
+  end
+
+  def validate_nonzero(number2:, **)
+    return Success(:ok) if number2.nonzero?
+
+    Failure(:err, message: 'arg2 must not be zero')
+  end
+
+  def divide(**input)
+    Success(:ok, number: input.values.reduce(:/), **input)
+  end
+end
+
+Divide.new.call(10, 5)
+#<Solid::Output::Success type=:division_completed value={:number=>2}>
+```
+
+As you can see, even with `divide` success exposing the division number with all the accumulated data (`**input`), the `#and_expose` could generate a new success with a new type and only with the desired keys.
+
+Remove the `#and_expose` call to see the difference. This will be the outcome:
+
+```ruby
+Divide.new.call(10, 5)
+#<Solid::Output::Success type=:ok value={:number=>2, :number1=>10, :number2=>5}>
+```
+
+> PS: The `#and_expose` produces a terminal success by default. This means the next step will not be executed even if you call `#and_then` after `#and_expose`. To change this behavior, you can pass `terminal: false` to `#and_expose`.
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+##### Module example (Singleton Methods)
+
+`Solid::Output.mixin` can also produce singleton methods. Below is an example using a module (but it could be a class, too).
+
+```ruby
+module Divide
+  extend self, Solid::Output.mixin
+
+  def call(arg1, arg2)
+    validate_numbers(arg1, arg2)
+      .and_then(:validate_nonzero)
+      .and_then(:divide)
+      .and_expose(:division_completed, [:number])
+  end
+
+  private
+
+  def validate_numbers(arg1, arg2)
+    arg1.is_a?(::Numeric) or return Failure(:err, message: 'arg1 must be numeric')
+    arg2.is_a?(::Numeric) or return Failure(:err, message: 'arg2 must be numeric')
+
+    Success(:ok, number1: arg1, number2: arg2)
+  end
+
+  def validate_nonzero(number2:, **)
+    return Success(:ok) if number2.nonzero?
+
+    Failure(:err, message: 'arg2 must not be zero')
+  end
+
+  def divide(number1:, number2:)
+    Success(:ok, number: number1 / number2)
+  end
+end
+
+Divide.call(10, 5)
+#<Solid::Output::Success type=:division_completed value={:number=>2}>
+
+Divide.call('10', 5)
+#<Solid::Output::Failure type=:err value={:message=>"arg1 must be numeric"}>
+
+Divide.call(10, '5')
+#<Solid::Output::Failure type=:err value={:message=>"arg2 must be numeric"}>
+
+Divide.call(10, 0)
+#<Solid::Output::Failure type=:err value={:message=>"arg2 must not be zero"}>
+```
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+#### `Solid::Output::Expectations`
+
+The `Solid::Output::Expectations` is a `Solid::Result::Expectations` with the `Solid::Output` features.
+
+This is an example using the mixin mode, but the standalone mode is also supported.
+
+```ruby
+class Divide
+  include Solid::Output::Expectations.mixin(
+    config: {
+      pattern_matching: { nil_as_valid_value_checking: true }
+    },
+    success: {
+      division_completed: ->(value) { value => { number: Numeric } }
+    },
+    failure: {
+      invalid_arg:      ->(value) { value => { message: String } },
+      division_by_zero: ->(value) { value => { message: String } }
+    }
+  )
+
+  def call(arg1, arg2)
+    arg1.is_a?(Numeric) or return Failure(:invalid_arg, message: 'arg1 must be numeric')
+    arg2.is_a?(Numeric) or return Failure(:invalid_arg, message: 'arg2 must be numeric')
+
+    arg2.zero? and return Failure(:division_by_zero, message: 'arg2 must not be zero')
+
+    Success(:division_completed, number: (arg1 / arg2))
+  end
+end
+
+Divide.new.call(10, 5)
+#<Solid::Output::Success type=:division_completed value={:number=>2}>
+```
+
+As in the `Solid::Result::Expectations.mixin`, the `Solid::Output::Expectations.mixin` will add a Result constant in the target class. It can generate success/failure results, which ensure the mixin expectations.
+
+Let's see this using the previous example:
+
+```ruby
+Divide::Result::Success(:division_completed, number: 2)
+#<Solid::Output::Success type=:division_completed value={:number=>2}>
+
+Divide::Result::Success(:division_completed, number: '2')
+# value {:number=>"2"} is not allowed for :division_completed type ({:number=>"2"}: Numeric === "2" does not return true) (Solid::Result::Contract::Error::UnexpectedValue)
+```
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+#### Mixin add-ons
+
+The `Solid::Output.mixin` and `Solid::Output::Expectations.mixin` also accepts the `config:` argument. And it works the same way as the `Solid::Result` mixins.
+
+**given**
+
+This addon is enabled by default. It will create the `Given(*value)` method. Use it to add a value to the result chain and invoke the next step (through `and_then`).
+
+You can turn it off by passing `given: false` to the `config:` argument or using the `Solid::Result.configuration`.
+
+The `Given()` addon for a Solid::Output can be called with one or more arguments. The arguments will be converted to a hash (`to_h`) and merged to define the first value of the result chain.
+
+**continue**
+
+The `Solid::Output.mixin(config: { addon: { continue: true } })` or `Solid::Output::Expectations.mixin(config: { addon: { continue: true } })` creates the `Continue(value)` method and change the `Success()` behavior to terminate the step chain.
+
+So, if you want to advance to the next step, you must use `Continue(**value)` instead of `Success(type, **value)`. Otherwise, the step chain will be terminated.
+
+Let's use a mix of `Solid::Output` features to see in action with this add-on:
+
+```ruby
+module Division
+  require 'logger'
+
+  extend self, Solid::Output::Expectations.mixin(
+    config: {
+      addon:            { continue: true },
+      pattern_matching: { nil_as_valid_value_checking: true }
+    },
+    success: {
+      division_completed: ->(value) { value => { number: Numeric } }
+    },
+    failure: {
+      invalid_arg:      ->(value) { value => { message: String } },
+      division_by_zero: ->(value) { value => { message: String } }
+    }
+  )
+
+  def call(arg1, arg2, logger: ::Logger.new(STDOUT))
+    Given(number1: arg1, number2: arg2)
+      .and_then(:require_numbers)
+      .and_then(:check_for_zeros)
+      .and_then(:divide, logger: logger)
+      .and_expose(:division_completed, [:number])
+  end
+
+  private
+
+  def require_numbers(number1:, number2:)
+    number1.is_a?(::Numeric) or return Failure(:invalid_arg, message: 'arg1 must be numeric')
+    number2.is_a?(::Numeric) or return Failure(:invalid_arg, message: 'arg2 must be numeric')
+
+    Continue()
+  end
+
+  def check_for_zeros(number1:, number2:)
+    return Failure(:division_by_zero, message: 'arg2 must not be zero') if number2.zero?
+
+    return Success(:division_completed, number: 0) if number1.zero?
+
+    Continue()
+  end
+
+  def divide(number1:, number2:, logger:)
+    result = number1 / number2
+
+    logger.info("The division result is #{result}")
+
+    Continue(number: result)
+  end
+end
+
+Division.call(14, 2)
+# I, [2023-10-27T02:01:05.812388 #77823]  INFO -- : The division result is 7
+#<Solid::Output::Success type=:division_completed value={:number=>7}>
+
+Division.call(0, 2)
+##<Solid::Output::Success type=:division_completed value={:number=>0}>
+
+Division.call('14', 2)
+#<Solid::Output::Failure type=:invalid_arg value={:message=>"arg1 must be numeric"}>
+
+Division.call(14, '2')
+#<Solid::Output::Failure type=:invalid_arg value={:message=>"arg2 must be numeric"}>
+
+Division.call(14, 0)
+#<Solid::Output::Failure type=:division_by_zero value={:message=>"arg2 must not be zero"}>
+```
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+## Pattern Matching
+
+The `Solid::Result` and `Solid::Output` also provides support to pattern matching.
+
+### `Solid::Result`
+
+In the further examples, I will use the `Divide` lambda to exemplify its usage.
+
+```ruby
+Divide = lambda do |arg1, arg2|
+  arg1.is_a?(::Numeric) or return Solid::Result::Failure(:invalid_arg, 'arg1 must be numeric')
+  arg2.is_a?(::Numeric) or return Solid::Result::Failure(:invalid_arg, 'arg2 must be numeric')
+
+  return Solid::Result::Failure(:division_by_zero, 'arg2 must not be zero') if arg2.zero?
+
+  Solid::Result::Success(:division_completed, arg1 / arg2)
+end
+```
+
+#### `Array`/`Find` patterns
+
+```ruby
+case Divide.call(4, 2)
+in Solid::Failure[:invalid_arg, msg] then puts msg
+in Solid::Failure[:division_by_zero, msg] then puts msg
+in Solid::Success[:division_completed, num] then puts num
+end
+
+# The code above will print: 2
+
+case Divide.call(4, 0)
+in Solid::Failure[:invalid_arg, msg] then puts msg
+in Solid::Failure[:division_by_zero, msg] then puts msg
+in Solid::Success[:division_completed, num] then puts num
+end
+
+# The code above will print: arg2 must not be zero
+```
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+#### `Hash` patterns
+
+```ruby
+case Divide.call(10, 2)
+in Solid::Failure(type: :invalid_arg, value: msg) then puts msg
+in Solid::Failure(type: :division_by_zero, value: msg) then puts msg
+in Solid::Success(type: :division_completed, value: num) then puts num
+end
+
+# The code above will print: 5
+
+case Divide.call('10', 2)
+in Solid::Failure(type: :invalid_arg, value: msg) then puts msg
+in Solid::Failure(type: :division_by_zero, value: msg) then puts msg
+in Solid::Success(type: :division_completed, value: num) then puts num
+end
+
+# The code above will print: arg1 must be numeric
+```
+
+You can also use `Solid::Result::Success` and `Solid::Result::Failure` as patterns.
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+
+### `Solid::Output`
+
+In the further examples, I will use the `Divide` lambda to exemplify its usage.
+
+```ruby
+Divide = lambda do |arg1, arg2|
+  arg1.is_a?(::Numeric) or return Solid::Output::Failure(:invalid_arg, err: 'arg1 must be numeric')
+  arg2.is_a?(::Numeric) or return Solid::Output::Failure(:invalid_arg, err: 'arg2 must be numeric')
+
+  return Solid::Output::Failure(:division_by_zero, err: 'arg2 must not be zero') if arg2.zero?
+
+  Solid::Output::Success(:division_completed, num: arg1 / arg2)
+end
+```
+
+#### `Array`/`Find` patterns
+
+```ruby
+case Divide.call(4, 2)
+in Solid::Failure[:invalid_arg, {msg:}] then puts msg
+in Solid::Failure[:division_by_zero, {msg:}] then puts msg
+in Solid::Success[:division_completed, {num:}] then puts num
+end
+
+# The code above will print: 2
+
+case Divide.call(4, 0)
+in Solid::Failure[:invalid_arg, {msg:}] then puts msg
+in Solid::Failure[:division_by_zero, {msg:}] then puts msg
+in Solid::Success[:division_completed, {num:}] then puts num
+end
+
+# The code above will print: arg2 must not be zero
+```
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+#### `Hash` patterns
+
+If you don't provide the keys :type and :value, the pattern will match the result value.
+
+```ruby
+case Divide.call(10, 2)
+in Solid::Failure({msg:}) then puts msg
+in Solid::Success({num:}) then puts num
+end
+```
+
+```ruby
+case Divide.call(10, 2)
+in Solid::Failure(type: :invalid_arg, value: {msg:}) then puts msg
+in Solid::Failure(type: :division_by_zero, value: {msg:}) then puts msg
+in Solid::Success(type: :division_completed, value: {num:}) then puts num
+end
+
+# The code above will print: 5
+
+case Divide.call('10', 2)
+in Solid::Failure(type: :invalid_arg, value: {msg:}) then puts {msg:}
+in Solid::Failure(type: :division_by_zero, value: {msg:}) then puts msg
+in Solid::Success(type: :division_completed, value: {num:}) then puts num
+end
+
+# The code above will print: arg1 must be numeric
+```
+
+You can also use `Solid::Output::Success` and `Solid::Output::Failure` as patterns.
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+### How to pattern match without the concept of success and failure
+
+You can use the classes `Solid::Result` and `Solid::Output` as patterns, and the pattern matching will work without the concept of success and failure.
+
+```ruby
+case Divide.call(10, 2)
+in Solid::Output(:invalid_arg, {msg:}) then puts msg
+in Solid::Output(:division_by_zero, {msg:}) then puts msg
+in Solid::Output(:division_completed, {num:}) then puts num
+end
+
+case Divide.call(10, 2)
+in Solid::Result(:invalid_arg, msg) then puts msg
+in Solid::Result(:division_by_zero, msg) then puts msg
+in Solid::Result(:division_completed, num) then puts num
+end
+```
+
+The `Solid::Result` will also work with the `Solid::Output`, but the opposite won't.
+

+## `Solid::Result.event_logs`
+
+Use `Solid::Result.event_logs(&block)` to track all the results produced in the same or between different operations (it works with `Solid::Result` and `Solid::Output`). When there is a nesting of `event_logs` blocks, this mechanism will be able to correlate parent and child blocks and present the duration of all operations in milliseconds.
+
+When you wrap the creation of the result with `Solid::Result.event_logs`, the final one will expose all the event log records through the `Solid::Result#event_logs` method.
+
+```ruby
+class Division
+  include Solid::Result.mixin(config: { addon: { continue: true } })
+
+  def call(arg1, arg2)
+    Solid::Result.event_logs(name: 'Division', desc: 'divide two numbers') do
+      Given([arg1, arg2])
+        .and_then(:require_numbers)
+        .and_then(:check_for_zeros)
+        .and_then(:divide)
+    end
+  end
+
+  private
+
+  ValidNumber = ->(arg) { arg.is_a?(Numeric) && (!arg.respond_to?(:finite?) || arg.finite?) }
+
+  def require_numbers((arg1, arg2))
+    ValidNumber[arg1] or return Failure(:invalid_arg, 'arg1 must be a valid number')
+    ValidNumber[arg2] or return Failure(:invalid_arg, 'arg2 must be a valid number')
+
+    Continue([arg1, arg2])
+  end
+
+  def check_for_zeros(numbers)
+    num1, num2 = numbers
+
+    return Failure(:division_by_zero, 'num2 cannot be zero') if num2.zero?
+
+    num1.zero? ? Success(:division_completed, 0) : Continue(numbers)
+  end
+
+  def divide((num1, num2))
+    Success(:division_completed, num1 / num2)
+  end

+### `metadata: {ids:}`
+
+The `:ids` metadata property is a hash with three properties:
+- `:tree`, a graph/tree representation of the id of each `event_logs` block.
+- `:level_parent`, a hash with the level (depth) of each block and its parent id.
+- `:matrix`, a matrix representation of the event logs ids. It is a simplification of the `:tree` property.
+
+Use these data structures to build your own visualization.
+
+> Check out [Event Logs Listener example](examples/single_listener/lib/single_event_logs_listener.rb) to see how a listener can be used to build a STDOUT visualization, using these properties.
+

+
+### Configuration
+
+#### Turning on/off
+
+You can use `Solid::Result.config.feature.disable!(event_logs)` and `Solid::Result.config.feature.enable!(event_logs)` to turn on/off the `Solid::Result.event_logs` feature.
+
+```ruby
+Solid::Result.configuration do |config|
+  config.feature.disable!(event_logs)
+end
+
+result = SumDivisionsByTwo.call(20, 10)
+# => #<Solid::Result::Success type=:sum value=15>
+
+result.event_logs
+{
+  :version=>1,
+  :records=>[],
+  :metadata=>{
+    :duration=>0,
+    :ids=>{:tree=>[], :matrix=>{}, :level_parent=>{}}, :trace_id=>nil
+  }
+}
+```
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+#### Setting a `trace_id` fetcher
+
+You can define a lambda (arity 0) to fetch the trace_id. This lambda will be called before the first event logs block and will be used to set the `:trace_id` in the `:metadata` property.
+
+Use to correlate different or the same operation (executed multiple times).
+
+```ruby
+Solid::Result.config.event_logs.trace_id = -> { Thread.current[:solid_result_event_logs_trace_id] }
+```
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+#### Setting a `listener`
+
+You can define a listener to be called during the event logs tracking (check out [this example](examples/single_listener/lib/single_event_logs_listener.rb)). It must be a class that includes `Solid::Result::EventLogs::Listener`.
+
+Use it to build your additional logic on top of the tracking. Examples:
+  - Log the event  logs.
+  - Perform the tracing.
+  - Instrument the event logs (measure/report).
+  - Build a visualization (Diagrams, using the `records:` + `metadata: {ids:}` properties).
+
+After implementing your listener, you can set it to the `Solid::Result.config.event_logs.listener=`:
+
+```ruby
+Solid::Result.config.event_logs.listener = MyEventLogsListener
+```
+
+See the example below to understand how to implement one:
+
+```ruby
+class MyEventLogsListener
+  include Solid::Result::EventLogs::Listener
+
+  # A listener will be initialized before the first event logs block, and it is discarded after the last one.
+  def initialize
+  end
+
+  # This method will be called before each event logs block.
+  # The parent block will be called first in the case of nested ones.
+  #
+  # @param scope: {:id=>1, :name=>"SomeOperation", :desc=>"Optional description"}
+  def on_start(scope:)
+  end
+
+  # This method will wrap all the event logs in the same block.
+  # It can be used to perform an instrumentation (measure/report).
+  #
+  # @param scope: {:id=>1, :name=>"SomeOperation", :desc=>"Optional description"}
+  def around_event_logs(scope:)
+    yield
+  end
+
+  # This method will wrap each and_then call.
+  # It can be used to perform an instrumentation of the and_then calls.
+  #
+  # @param scope: {:id=>1, :name=>"SomeOperation", :desc=>"Optional description"}
+  # @param and_then:
+  #  {:type=>:block, :arg=>:some_injected_value}
+  #  {:type=>:method, :arg=>:some_injected_value, :method_name=>:some_method_name}
+  def around_and_then(scope:, and_then:)
+    yield
+  end
+
+  # This method will be called after each result recording/tracking.
+  #
+  # @param record:
+  # {
+  #   :root => {:id=>0, :name=>"RootOperation", :desc=>nil},
+  #   :parent => {:id=>0, :name=>"RootOperation", :desc=>nil},
+  #   :current => {:id=>1, :name=>"SomeOperation", :desc=>nil},
+  #   :result => {:kind=>:success, :type=>:_continue_, :value=>{some: :thing}, :source=><MyProcess:0x0000000102fd6378>},
+  #   :and_then => {:type=>:method, :arg=>nil, :method_name=>:some_method},
+  #   :time => 2024-01-26 02:53:11.310431 UTC
+  # }
+  def on_record(record:)
+  end
+
+  # This method will be called at the end of the event logs tracking.
+  #
+  # @param event_logs:
+  # {
+  #   :version => 1,
+  #   :metadata => {
+  #     :duration => 0,
+  #     :trace_id => nil,
+  #     :ids => {
+  #       :tree => [0, [[1, []], [2, []]]],
+  #       :matrix => { 0 => [0, 0], 1 => [1, 1], 2 => [2, 1]},
+  #       :level_parent => { 0 => [0, 0], 1 => [1, 0], 2 => [1, 0]}
+  #     }
+  #   },
+  #   :records => [
+  #     # ...
+  #   ]
+  # }
+  def on_finish(event_logs:)
+  end
+
+  # This method will be called when an exception is raised during the event logs tracking.
+  #
+  # @param exception: Exception
+  # @param event_logs: Hash
+  def before_interruption(exception:, event_logs:)
+  end
+end
+```
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+#### Setting multiple `listeners`
+
+You can use `Solid::Result::EventLogs::Listeners[]` to creates a listener of listeners (check out [this example](examples/multiple_listeners/Rakefile)), which will be called in the order they were added.
+
+**Attention:** It only allows one listener to handle `around_and_then` and another `around_event_logs` records.
+
+> The example below defines different listeners to handle `around_and_then` and `around_event_logs,` but it is also possible to define a listener to handle both.
+
+```ruby
+class AroundAndThenListener
+  include Solid::Result::EventLogs::Listener
+
+  # It must be a static/singleton method.
+  def self.around_and_then?
+    true
+  end
+
+  def around_and_then(scope:, and_then:)
+    #...
+  end
+end
+
+class AroundEventLogsListener
+  include Solid::Result::EventLogs::Listener
+
+  # It must be a static/singleton method.
+  def self.around_event_logs?
+    true
+  end
+
+  def around_event_logs(scope:)
+    #...
+  end
+end
+
+class MyEventLogsListener
+  include Solid::Result::EventLogs::Listener
+end
+```
+
+How to use it:
+
+```ruby
+# The listeners will be called in the order they were added.
+Solid::Result.config.event_logs.listener = Solid::Result::EventLogs::Listeners[
+  MyEventLogsListener,
+  AroundAndThenListener,
+  AroundEventLogsListener
+]
+```
+
+> Check out [this example](examples/multiple_listeners) to see a listener to print the event logs and another to store them in the database.

+
+## `Solid::Result.configuration`
+
+The `Solid::Result.configuration` allows you to configure default behaviors for `Solid::Result` and `Solid::Output` through a configuration block. After using it, the configuration is frozen, ensuring the expected behaviors for your application.
+
+> Note: You can use `Solid::Result.configuration(freeze: false) {}` to avoid the freezing. This can be useful in tests. Please be sure to use it with caution.
+
+```ruby
+Solid::Result.configuration do |config|
+  config.addon.enable!(:given, :continue)
+
+  config.constant_alias.enable!('Result', 'Solid::Output')
+
+  config.pattern_matching.disable!(:nil_as_valid_value_checking)
+
+  # config.feature.disable!(:expectations) if ::Rails.env.production?
+end
+```
+
+Use `disable!` to disable a feature and `enable!` to enable it.
+
+Let's see what each configuration in the example above does:
+
+### `config.addon.enable!(:given, :continue)` <!-- omit in toc -->
+
+This configuration enables the `Continue()` method for `Solid::Result.mixin`, `Solid::Output.mixin`, `Solid::Result::Expectation.mixin`, and `Solid::Output::Expectation.mixin`. Link to documentations: [(1)](#add-ons) [(2)](#mixin-add-ons).
+
+It is also enabling the `Given()` which is already enabled by default. Link to documentation: [(1)](#add-ons) [(2)](#mixin-add-ons).
+
+### `config.constant_alias.enable!('Result', 'Solid::Output')` <!-- omit in toc -->
+
+This configuration make `Result` a constant alias for `Solid::Result`, and `Solid::Output` a constant alias for `Solid::Output`.
+
+Link to documentations:
+- [Result alias](#solidresult-versus-result)
+
+### `config.pattern_matching.disable!(:nil_as_valid_value_checking)` <!-- omit in toc -->
+
+This configuration disables the `nil_as_valid_value_checking` for `Solid::Result` and `Solid::Output`. Link to [documentation](#pattern-matching-support).
+
+### `config.feature.disable!(:expectations)` <!-- omit in toc -->
+
+This configuration turns off the expectations for `Solid::Result` and `Solid::Output`. The expectations are helpful in development and test environments, but they can be disabled in production environments for performance gain.
+
+PS: I'm using `::Rails.env.production?` to check the environment, but you can use any logic you want.
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>

+
+## `Solid::Result#and_then!`
+
+In the Ruby ecosystem, several gems facilitate operation composition using classes and modules. Two notable examples are the `interactor` gem and the `u-case` gem.
+
+**`interactor` gem example**
+
+```ruby
+class PlaceOrder
+  include Interactor::Organizer
+
+  organize CreateOrder,
+           PayOrder,
+           SendOrderConfirmation,
+           NotifyAdmins
+end
+```
+
+**`u-case` gem example**
+
+```ruby
+class PlaceOrder < Micro::Case
+  flow CreateOrder, PayOrder, SendOrderConfirmation, NotifyAdmins
+end
+
+# Alternative approach
+class PlaceOrder < Micro::Case
+  def call!
+    call(CreateOrder)
+      .then(PayOrder)
+      .then(SendOrderConfirmation)
+      .then(NotifyAdmins)
+  end
+end
+```
+
+To facilitate migration for users accustomed to the above approaches, `solid-result` includes the `Solid::Result#and_then!`/`Solid::Output#and_then!` methods, which will invoke the method `call` of the given operation and expect it to return a `Solid::Result`/`Solid::Output` object.
+
+```ruby
+Solid::Result.configure do |config|
+  config.feature.enable!(:and_then!)
+end
+
+class PlaceOrder
+  include Solid::Output.mixin
+
+  def call(**input)
+    Given(input)
+      .and_then!(CreateOrder.new)
+      .and_then!(PayOrder.new)
+      .and_then!(SendOrderConfirmation.new)
+      .and_then!(NotifyAdmins.new)
+  end
+end
+```
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+#### Dependency Injection
+
+Like `#and_then`, `#and_then!` also supports an additional argument for dependency injection.
+
+**In Solid::Result**
+
+```ruby
+class PlaceOrder
+  include Solid::Result.mixin
+
+  def call(input, logger:)
+    Given(input)
+      .and_then!(CreateOrder.new, logger)
+      # Further method chaining...
+  end
+end
+```
+
+**In Solid::Output**
+
+```ruby
+class PlaceOrder
+  include Solid::Output.mixin
+
+  def call(logger:, **input)
+    Given(input)
+      .and_then!(CreateOrder.new, logger:)
+      # Further method chaining...
+  end
+end
+```
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+#### Configuration
+
+```ruby
+Solid::Result.configure do |config|
+  config.feature.enable!(:and_then!)
+
+  config.and_then!.default_method_name_to_call = :perform
+end
+```
+
+**Explanation:**
+
+- `enable!(:and_then!)`: Activates the `and_then!` feature.
+
+- `default_method_name_to_call`: Sets a default method other than `:call` for `and_then!`.
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+#### Analysis: Why is `and_then!` an Anti-pattern?
+
+The `and_then!` approach, despite its brevity, introduces several issues:
+
+- **Lack of Clarity:** The input/output relationship between the steps is not apparent.
+
+- **Steps Coupling:** Each operation becomes interdependent (high coupling), complicating implementation and compromising the reusability of these operations.
+
+We recommend cautious use of `#and_then!`. Due to these issues, it is turned off by default and considered an antipattern.
+
+It should be a temporary solution, primarily for assisting in migration from another to gem to `solid-result`.
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+#### `#and_then` versus `#and_then!`
+
+The main difference between the `#and_then` and `#and_then!` is that the latter does not check the result source. However, as a drawback, the result source will change.
+
+Attention: to ensure the correct behavior, do not mix `#and_then` and `#and_then!` in the same result chain.
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+#### Analysis: Why is `#and_then` the antidote/standard?
+
+The `Solid::Result#and_then`/`Solid::Output#and_then` methods diverge from the above approach by requiring explicit invocation and mapping of the outcomes at each process step. This approach has the following advantages:
+
+- **Clarity:** The input/output relationship between the steps is apparent and highly understandable.
+
+- **Steps uncoupling:** Each operation becomes independent (low coupling). You can even map a failure result to a success (and vice versa).
+
+See this example to understand what your code should look like:
+
+```ruby
+class PlaceOrder
+  include Solid::Output.mixin(config: { addon: { continue: true } })
+
+  def call(**input)
+    Given(input)
+      .and_then(:create_order)
+      .and_then(:pay_order)
+      .and_then(:send_order_confirmation)
+      .and_then(:notify_admins)
+      .and_expose(:order_placed, %i[order])
+  end
+
+  private
+
+  def create_order(customer:, products:)
+    CreateOrder.new.call(customer:, products:).handle do |on|
+      on.success { |output| Continue(order: output[:order]) }
+      on.failure { |error| Failure(:order_creation_failed, error:) }
+    end
+  end
+
+  def pay_order(customer:, order:, payment_method:, **)
+    PayOrder.new.call(customer:, payment_method:, order:).handle do |on|
+      on.success { |output| Continue(payment: output[:payment]) }
+      on.failure { |error| Failure(:order_payment_failed, error:) }
+    end
+  end
+
+  def send_order_confirmation(customer:, order:, payment:, **)
+    SendOrderConfirmation.new.call(customer:, order:, payment:).handle do |on|
+      on.success { Continue() }
+      on.failure { |error| Failure(:order_confirmation_failed, error:) }
+    end
+  end
+
+  def notify_admins(customer:, order:, payment:, **)
+    NotifyAdmins.new.call(customer:, order:, payment:)
+
+    Continue()
+  end
+end
+```

+## About
+
+[Rodrigo Serradura](https://github.com/serradura) created this project. He is the Solid Process creator and has already made similar gems like the [u-case](https://github.com/serradura/u-case) and [kind](https://github.com/serradura/kind/blob/main/lib/kind/result.rb). This gem can be used independently, but it also contains essential features that facilitate the adoption of Solid Process (the method) in code.
+
+<p align="right"><a href="#-solidresult">⬆️ &nbsp;back to top</a></p>
+
+## Development
+
+After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `bundle exec rake` to run the tests. You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
+
+To install this gem onto your local machine, run `bundle exec rake install`. To release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, and then run `bundle exec rake release`, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org).
