clippy::map_unwrap_or: Checks for usage of option.map(_).unwrap_or(_) or option.map(_).unwrap_or_else(_) or result.map(_).unwrap_or_else(_)

What it meansChecks for usage of option.map(_).unwrap_or(_) or option.map(_).unwrap_or_else(_) or result.map(_).unwrap_or_else(_). It is in the pedantic group and off by default.

Does it matter?

Readability, these can be written more concisely (resp.) as option.map_or(_, _), option.map_or_else(_, _) and result.map_or_else(_, _).

Stricter lints with some false positives. Off by default; opt in with clippy::pedantic.

How to fix it

Clippy can fix this one for you: run cargo clippy --fix (add --allow-dirty if you have uncommitted changes). Review the diff before you commit.

Flagged

option.map(|a| a + 1).unwrap_or(0);
option.map(|a| a > 10).unwrap_or(false);
result.map(|a| a + 1).unwrap_or_else(some_function);

Write this instead

option.map_or(0, |a| a + 1);
option.is_some_and(|a| a > 10);
result.map_or_else(some_function, |a| a + 1);

Turn it off, or on

It is off by default. To use it, set it to warn or deny:

Whole crate (Cargo.toml)

[lints.clippy]
map_unwrap_or = "warn"

In code

#![warn(clippy::map_unwrap_or)]

One run

cargo clippy -- -W clippy::map-unwrap-or

The [lints] table needs Rust 1.74 or newer. In a workspace, put it under [workspace.lints.clippy] and add [lints] workspace = true to each member.

Settings in clippy.toml

Clippy's own documentation

What it does

Checks for usage of option.map(_).unwrap_or(_) or option.map(_).unwrap_or_else(_) or result.map(_).unwrap_or_else(_).

Why is this bad?

Readability, these can be written more concisely (resp.) as option.map_or(_, _), option.map_or_else(_, _) and result.map_or_else(_, _).

Known problems

The order of the arguments is not in execution order

Examples

option.map(|a| a + 1).unwrap_or(0);
option.map(|a| a > 10).unwrap_or(false);
result.map(|a| a + 1).unwrap_or_else(some_function);

Use instead:

option.map_or(0, |a| a + 1);
option.is_some_and(|a| a > 10);
result.map_or_else(some_function, |a| a + 1);

Past names
