go-errors

Why this repo was created?

Main reason was to create additional methods for better error typing support.

Features

• Errors as constants
• errors.Is support
• Wrap method to wrap original error with errors.Unwrap method
• String.New support to add context arguments for error message, while errors.Is still compares error itself
• Error.WithStack support to store stack trace at time method called

package main

import (
	"errors"
	"log"

	serr "github.com/bdandy/go-errors"
)

const ErrSomeFunc = serr.String("somefunc for %s failed")

func someFunc() error {
	return errors.New("io error")
}

func funcWithArgs(args ...interface{}) error {
	err := someFunc()
	if err != nil {
		return ErrSomeFunc.New(args...).Wrap(err)
	}
	return nil
}

func main() {
	err := funcWithArgs("tryme!")

	// handle ErrSomeFunc error type
	if errors.Is(err, ErrSomeFunc) {
		log.Print("typedError handled: ", err)
	} else if err != nil {
		log.Print("other error cases:", err)
	}
}
