Useful extension utilities for `thiserror`. See the [documentation](https://docs.rs/thiserror-ext) for more details.
```rust
#[derive(
Debug,
thiserror::Error,
thiserror_ext::Box,
thiserror_ext::Construct,
thiserror_ext::ContextInto,
thiserror_ext::Macro,
)]
#[thiserror_ext(
newtype(name = Error, backtrace),
macro(path = "crate::foo"),
)]
enum ErrorKind {
#[error("cannot parse int from `{from}`")]
Parse {
source: std::num::ParseIntError,
from: String,
},
#[error("not yet implemented: {msg}")]
NotImplemented {
issue: Option<i32>,
#[message] msg: String,
},
#[error("internal error: {0}")]
Internal(String),
}
// `thiserror_ext::Construct`
let error: Error = Error::internal("oops");
// `thiserror_ext::Box`
assert_eq!(std::mem::size_of::<Error>(), std::mem::size_of::<usize>());
// You can access the backtrace through `backtrace()` method, or nightly-only `std::error::request_ref`.
let bt: &std::backtrace::Backtrace = error.backtrace().unwrap();
let bt: &Backtrace = std::error::request_ref(&error).unwrap();
// `thiserror_ext::ContextInto`
let result: Result<i32, Error> = "foo".parse().into_parse("foo");
// `thiserror_ext::AsReport`
//
// "cannot parse int from `foo`: invalid digit found in string"
println!("{}", result.unwrap_err().as_report());
// `thiserror_ext::Macro`
bail_not_implemented!(issue = 42, "an {} feature", "awesome");
```
## Features
- `std` (default): enables `std` integration.
In particular, `#[thiserror_ext(newtype(.., backtrace))]` captures backtraces and the generated newtype exposes `.backtrace()`.
Disable default features for `no_std` + `alloc`:
```toml
thiserror-ext = { version = "...", default-features = false }
```
- `nightly`: enable nightly features of `Error`, especially `std::error::Error::provide`.
This enables:
- forwarding provided members from generated newtypes;
- backtrace de-duplication when source errors already provide one;
- custom provide logic through `extra_provide`:
```rust
#[derive(thiserror::Error, thiserror_ext::Arc)]
#[thiserror_ext(newtype(name = Error, extra_provide = Self::my_extra_provide))]
enum ErrorInner {
#[error("...")]
Foo,
}
impl Error {
fn my_extra_provide(&self, request: &mut std::error::Request<'_>) {
}
}
```
