utils_results = "4.2.0"

Overview

First, You should make your own an error set.

err! {
     BrokenHeader => "broken header."
     AnotherHeader => "not matched header."
     FileNotFound => "file not found."
     EmptyArgument => "empty argument."
     UnexpectedEof => "unexpected eof."
     OutOfBounds => "index out of bounds."
     NotMatched => "btw not matched."
}

And just errbang!

errbang!(err::BrokenHeader)

More Examples

fn foo() -> Result<bool> { // Our Master Result Type
    let bar = 2;
    match bar {
        0 => Ok(true),
        1 => Ok(false),
        _ => errbang!(err::NotMatched, "{} is {}", "bar", bar),
    }
}


fn main() -> Result<()> {
    let _is_bar_zero = foo()?;
    Ok(())
}

errbang!(err::MyError1);
errbang!(err::MyError2, "cannot find.");
errbang!(err::MyError3, "{} is {}", "bar", 2);

| Result

[src/main.rs 40:1] unexpected eof. bar is 2 <err::UnexpectedEof>

Important

utils-results can handle lots of errors in a beautiful one way.

It's called Non panic unwraping chaining Errors.

errbang -> errcast -> errcast -> ... -> errcast -> errextract

* Quick Overview

use utils_results::*;

err! {
    One => "this error is first one."
    Two => "this error is second one."
    Three => "this error is third one."
    Well => "is this?"
}


fn aaa() -> Result<usize> {
    return errbang!(err::One, "{}.error bang!", 1);
}

fn bbb() -> Result<usize> {
    let n = errcast!(aaa(), err::Two, "{}.two <- one.", 2);
    Ok(n)
}

fn ccc() -> ResultSend<usize> { // Result -> ResultSend
    Ok(errcast!(bbb(), err::Three, "{}.three <- two.", 3))
}


fn main() -> Result<()> {
    let c = errextract!(ccc(), err::Well => 127);
    eprintln!("1/{} is cosmological constant.", c);
    Ok(())
}

| Result

Error:
[src/main.rs 11:12] this error is first one. 1.error bang! <err::One> aaa()
                    ⎺↴
[src/main.rs 14:13] this error is second one. 2.two <- one. <err::Two> bbb()
                    ⎺↴
[src/main.rs 18:8] this error is third one. 3.three <- two. <err::Three>

If the matching error be changed,

// Well to Three
let c = errextract!(ccc(), err::Three => 127);

| Result

1/127 is cosmological constant.

errcast

Any type of error can be converted into our Master Error. (non panic unwraping)

<Unwraped Ok> = errcast! (<Any Result>, <Master Err>, <Optional meta,..>);

// example
let num_read = errcast!(file.read(&mut buf), err::ReadErr, "this is {} data.", "meta");

Simply just do this!

let file = errcast!(File::open("test"), err::FileOpenError)

or...

// Master `Result` can take any errors(dyn error)
let file = File::open("test")?;

But, errcast -> errextract combo is always good choice.

fn exe(path: &str) -> Result<usize> {
    let file = errcast!(File::open("test"), err::FileOpenError);
    // .....
    // ...
    Ok(num)
}

fn main() -> Result<()> {
    /// non panic unwraping
    /// and specific error can return
    /// matching block
    let num = errextract!(exe(path),
        err::FileOpenError => 0);
    /// other errors will go out -> Result<T>

    Ok(())
}

Well, we can also handle io::Error more idiomatic way.

Matching io::Error

 io_err! {
     // io::ErrorKind => err::MyError
     UnexpectedEof => err::MyError1
     Interrupted => err::MyError2
     NotFound => err::MyError3
     // ...
 }

Declare matching macro and just handle that.

io_to_err!(file.seek(SeekFrom::End(0)))?;

err_to_io!(my_seek(0))?;

Master Result

• Please use our Master Result<T> and ResultSend<T> instead std::result::Result or io::Result etc..

utils-results/lib.rs Definition

/// Master Result
pub type Result<T> = result::Result<T, Box<dyn error::Error>>;
/// Master Result for Send + Sync trait
pub type ResultSend<T> = result::Result<T, Box<dyn error::Error + Send + Sync>>;

just put this in your project.

pub use utils_results::*;

You can also convert any type of Result

| easy way

// to our Master Result
resultcast!(handle.join().unwrap())?;

// to our Master ResultSend
resultcastsend!(handle.join().unwrap())?;
