//! Helpers for bundling context with errors and later extracting said context thru `dyn Error`
//! trait objects.
//!
//! The primary purpose of this crate is to pass context to error reporters through `dyn Error`
//! trait objects. This is useful for information that may need to be captured by leaf errors but
//! which doesn't belong in any single error's message. Backtraces, http status codes, and help
//! messages are all examples of context that one might wish to pass directly to an error reporter
//! rather than printing in the chain of errors.
//!
//! ## Setup
//!
//! ```toml
//! [dependencies]
//! extracterr = "0.1"
//! ```
//!
//! ## TLDR Example
//!
//! ```rust
//! use backtrace::Backtrace;
//! use std::error::Error;
//! use extracterr::{Bundle, Bundled, Extract};
//!
//! #[derive(Debug, thiserror::Error)]
//! #[error("Example Error")]
//! struct ExampleError;
//!
//! let error = ExampleError;
//!
//! // Capture a backtrace via `Default` and `From`
//! let error: Bundled<_, Backtrace> = error.into();
//!
//! // Convert it to a trait object to throw away type information
//! let error: Box<dyn Error + Send + Sync + 'static> = error.into();
//!
//! // first error in chain is the unerased version of the error `Bundled<ExampleError, Backtrace>`
//! assert!(error.downcast_ref::<Bundled<ExampleError, Backtrace>>().is_some());
//! assert_eq!("Example Error", error.to_string());
//! assert!(error.extract::<Backtrace>().is_none());
//!
//! // Move to the next error in the chain
//! let error = error.source().unwrap();
//!
//! // The second error in the chain is the erased version `Bundled<Erased, Backtrace>` which now
//! // works with downcasting, letting us access the bundled context
//! let backtrace = error.extract::<Backtrace>();
//! assert!(backtrace.is_some());
//!
//! // The Display / Debug impls of the fake error that contains the bundled context print the
//! // context's type_name
//! assert_eq!(error.to_string(), std::any::type_name::<Backtrace>());
//! ```
//!
//! ## Details
//!
//! The main type provided by this library is the `Bundled` type, which bundles an error and a
//! context type into a new error. This type can be constructed either via `From+Default` or
//! [`Bundle`], for more details check out the docs on [`Bundled`].
//!
//! This type works best with the error kind pattern, as seen in `std::io::Error`:
//!
//! ```rust
//! use backtrace::Backtrace;
//! use extracterr::{Bundle, Bundled};
//!
//! #[derive(Debug, thiserror::Error)]
//! #[error(transparent)]
//! struct Error {
//!     kind: Bundled<Kind, Backtrace>,
//! }
//!
//! #[derive(Debug, thiserror::Error, Clone, Copy)]
//! enum Kind {
//!     #[error("could not enqueue item")]
//!     Queue,
//!     #[error("could not dequeue item")]
//!     Dequeue
//! }
//!
//! impl Error {
//!     fn kind(&self) -> Kind {
//!         *self.kind.inner()
//!     }
//! }
//!
//! impl From<Kind> for Error {
//!     fn from(kind: Kind) -> Self {
//!         Self { kind: Bundled::from(kind) }
//!     }
//! }
//!
//! impl From<Bundled<Kind, Backtrace>> for Error {
//!     fn from(kind: Bundled<Kind, Backtrace>) -> Self {
//!         Self { kind }
//!     }
//! }
//!
//! fn queue() -> Result<(), Error> {
//!     Err(Kind::Queue)?
//! }
//!
//! fn dequeue() -> Result<(), Error> {
//!     Err(Kind::Dequeue).bundle(Backtrace::new())?
//! }
//!
//! use extracterr::Extract;
//!
//! let error = dequeue().unwrap_err();
//!
//! // Convert it to a trait object to throw away type information
//! let error: Box<dyn std::error::Error + Send + Sync + 'static> = error.into();
//!
//! assert!(error.downcast_ref::<Error>().is_some());
//! assert_eq!("could not dequeue item", error.to_string());
//! assert!(error.extract::<Backtrace>().is_none());
//!
//! // Move to the next error in the chain
//! let error = error.source().unwrap();
//!
//! let backtrace = error.extract::<Backtrace>();
//! assert!(backtrace.is_some());
//! ```
//!
//! Once context has been bundled into a chain of errors it can then be extracted back out via the
//! [`Extract`] trait. Check out the source code of [`stable-eyre`] for a simple example of
//! idiomatic usage of `Extract` in an error reporter.

/// An Error bundled with a Context can then later be extracted from a chain of dyn Errors.
///
/// # Usage
///
/// This type has two primary methods of construction, `From` and [`Bundle`]. The first method of
/// construction, the `From` trait, only works when the type you're bundling with the error
/// implements `Default`. This is useful for types like `Backtrace`s where the context you care
/// about is implicitly captured just by constructing the type, or for types that have a reasonable
/// default like HttpStatusCodes defaulting to 500.
///
/// ```
/// use extracterr::Bundled;
///
/// #[derive(Debug, thiserror::Error)]
/// #[error("just an example error")]
/// struct ExampleError;
///
/// struct StatusCode(u32);
///
/// impl Default for StatusCode {
///     fn default() -> Self {
///         Self(500)
///     }
/// }
///
///
/// fn foo() -> Result<(), Bundled<ExampleError, StatusCode>> {
///     Err(ExampleError)?
/// }
/// ```
///
/// The second method of construction, the [`Bundle`] trait, lets you attach context to errors
/// manually. This is useful for types that don't implement `Default` or types where you only
/// occasionally want to override the defaults.
///
/// ```
/// use extracterr::{Bundled, Bundle};
///
/// #[derive(Debug, thiserror::Error)]
/// #[error("just an example error")]
/// struct ExampleError;
///
/// struct StatusCode(u32);
///
/// fn foo() -> Result<(), Bundled<ExampleError, StatusCode>> {
///     Err(ExampleError).bundle(StatusCode(404))?
/// }
/// ```

/// the [`Extract`] trait.
