// Package errwrap implements methods to formalize error wrapping in Go. // // All of the top-level functions that take an `error` are built to be able // to take any error, not just wrapped errors. This allows you to use errwrap // without having to type-check and type-cast everywhere. package errwrap import ( "errors" "reflect" "strings" ) // WalkFunc is the callback called for Walk. type WalkFunc func(error) // Wrapper is an interface that can be implemented by custom types to // have all the Contains, Get, etc. functions in errwrap work. // // When Walk reaches a Wrapper, it will call the callback for every // wrapped error in addition to the wrapper itself. Since all the top-level // functions in errwrap use Walk, this means that all those functions work // with your custom type. type Wrapper interface { WrappedErrors() []error } // Wrap defines that outer wraps inner, returning an error type that // can be cleanly used with the other methods in this package, such as // Contains, GetAll, etc. // // This function won't modify the error message at all (the outer message // will be used). func Wrap(outer, inner error) error { return &wrappedError{ Outer: outer, Inner: inner, } } // Wrapf wraps an error with a formatting message. This is similar to using // `fmt.Errorf` to wrap an error. If you're using `fmt.Errorf` to wrap // errors, you should replace it with this. // // format is the format of the error message.
