Crate skip_error 

This crate provides a single macro to help skipping a error in a loop, possibly logging it.

For example, imagine you have some code like this.

for string_number in &["1", "2", "three", "4"] {
  let number: u32 = match string_number.parse() {
    Ok(n) => n,
    Err(e) => continue,
  };
}

Then you can use the macro skip_error! to write like this.

for string_number in &["1", "2", "three", "4"] {
  let number: u32 = skip_error!(string_number.parse());
}

Or even better, use the trait SkipError that extends Iterator and do the following (essentially equivalent to Iterator::flatten() but see below for logging abilities).

use skip_error::SkipError;
let numbers: Vec<u32> = ["1", "2", "three", "4"]
  .into_iter()
  .map(|string_number| string_number.parse())
  .skip_error()
  .collect();

Logging

If you want the error to be logged, you can use the feature log or the feature tracing (see Features). See skip_error_and_log! and SkipError::skip_error_and_log() for more information.

Features

• log: emit log message with the standard std::log macro. Disabled by default.
• tracing: emit traces with the tracing::trace macro. Disabled by default. If both log and tracing are enabled, then log will be ignored since tracing is configured in a compatibility mode with standard log.

Macros

skip_error

skip_error returns the value of a Result or continues a loop.

skip_error_and_debug

skip_error_and_debug returns the value of a Result or log with tracing::Level::DEBUG and continues the loop.

skip_error_and_error

skip_error_and_error returns the value of a Result or log with tracing::Level::ERROR and continues the loop.

skip_error_and_info

skip_error_and_info returns the value of a Result or log with tracing::Level::INFO and continues the loop.

skip_error_and_log

skip_error_and_log returns the value of a Result or log and continues the loop.

skip_error_and_trace

skip_error_and_trace returns the value of a Result or log with tracing::Level::TRACE and continues the loop.

skip_error_and_warn

skip_error_and_warn returns the value of a Result or log with tracing::Level::WARN and continues the loop.

Structs

SkipErrorIter

An iterator that ignore errors

Traits

SkipError

Trait to extend any Iterator where the Iterator::Item is a Result. This allows to skip errors and keep only the Ok() values.
