//! # Error Handling
//!
//! This module defines the error types used throughout the MinUI library.
//! All public functions that can fail return a [`Result`] type with our custom [`Error`] enum.
//!
//! ## Error Strategy
//!
//! MinUI uses a centralized error handling approach where all possible errors
//! are represented in a single [`Error`] enum. This provides:
//!
//! - **Consistency**: All library functions use the same error type
//! - **Clarity**: Error variants are descriptive and context-specific
//! - **Convenience**: The [`Result`] type alias simplifies function signatures
//! - **Extensibility**: New error types can be easily added
//!
//! ## Error Categories
//!
//! Errors are organized into several categories:
//!
//! - **Initialization**: Terminal setup and configuration errors
//! - **Window Operations**: Drawing, resizing, and buffer management
//! - **Widget**: Widget validation and rendering errors
//! - **Input**: Keyboard and mouse input processing errors
//! - **I/O**: Underlying system and terminal I/O errors
//!
//! ## Usage Examples
//!
//! ```rust
//! use minui::{Result, Error};
//!
//! fn my_function() -> Result<()> {
//! // Functions return Result<T> which is Result<T, Error>
//! let window = minui::TerminalWindow::new()?;
//!
//! // Handle specific error types
//! match some_operation() {
//! Ok(value) => { /* use value */ },
//! Err(Error::WidgetValidationError { message }) => {
//! eprintln!("Widget error: {}", message);
//! },
//! Err(e) => {
//! eprintln!("Other error: {}", e);
//! }
//! }
//!
//! Ok(())
//! }
//!
//! # fn some_operation() -> Result<i32> { Ok(42) }
//! ```
use Error;
/// The main error type for all MinUI operations.
///
/// This enum represents all possible errors that can occur when using the MinUI library.
/// Each variant provides specific context about what went wrong and includes relevant
/// information to help with debugging and error handling.
///
/// Most public functions in MinUI return `Result<T, Error>` (or the type alias `Result<T>`).
///
/// # Error Handling Patterns
///
/// ```rust
/// use minui::{Error, TerminalWindow};
///
/// // Basic error propagation with ?
/// fn setup_ui() -> minui::Result<TerminalWindow> {
/// let window = TerminalWindow::new()?; // Propagates any initialization errors
/// Ok(window)
/// }
///
/// // Specific error handling
/// match TerminalWindow::new() {
/// Ok(window) => { /* use window */ },
/// Err(Error::InitializationError(msg)) => {
/// eprintln!("Failed to initialize terminal: {}", msg);
/// },
/// Err(e) => {
/// eprintln!("Unexpected error: {}", e);
/// }
/// }
/// ```
/// Convenience type alias for Results using the custom Error type.
pub type Result<T> = Result;
