The problem -with this pattern is that you completely lose the original `error` structure. - -Arguably the _correct_ approach is that you should make a custom structure -implementing the `error` interface, and have the original error as a field -on that structure, such [as this example](http://golang.org/pkg/os/#PathError). -This is a good approach, but you have to know the entire chain of possible -rewrapping that happens, when you might just care about one. - -`errwrap` formalizes this pattern (it doesn't matter what approach you use -above) by giving a single interface for wrapping errors, checking if a specific -error is wrapped, and extracting that error. - -## Installation and Docs - -Install using `go get github.com/hashicorp/errwrap`. - -Full documentation is available at -http://godoc.org/github.com/hashicorp/errwrap - -## Usage - -#### Basic Usage - -Below is a very basic example of its usage: - -```go -// A function that always returns an error, but wraps it, like a real -// function might. -func tryOpen() error { - _, err := os.Open("/i/dont/exist") - if err != nil { - return errwrap.Wrapf("Doesn't exist: {{err}}", err) - } - - return nil -} - -func main() { - err := tryOpen() - - // We can use the Contains helpers to check if an error contains - // another error. It is safe to do this with a nil error, or with - // an error that doesn't even use the errwrap package. - if errwrap.Contains(err, "does not exist") { - // Do something - } - if errwrap.ContainsType(err, new(os.PathError)) { - // Do something - } - - // Or we can use the associated `Get` functions to just extract - // a specific error. This would return nil if that specific error doesn't - // exist. - perr := errwrap.GetType(err, new(os.PathError)) -} -``` - -#### Custom Types - -If you're already making custom types that properly wrap errors, then -you can get all the functionality of `errwraps.Contains` and such by -implementing the `Wrapper` interface with just one function. Example: - -```go -type AppError { - Code ErrorCode - Err error -} - -func (e *AppError) WrappedErrors() []error { - return []error{e.Err} -} -``` - -Now this works: - -```go -err := &AppError{Err: fmt.Errorf("an error")} -if errwrap.ContainsType(err, fmt.Errorf("")) { - // This will work! -} -``` -- cgit v1.2.3
