Struct MultiErrors 

pub struct MultiErrors<E = Error> { /* private fields */ }

A collection of errors that enables continuing work while collecting failures.

This type implements the “error parameter” pattern: instead of short-circuiting on the first error, processing continues and errors are accumulated. The caller can inspect the collection afterward to determine whether all operations succeeded.

Ergonomic Result handling

collect_result lets you process a Result<T, E> while keeping the happy path dominant:

use vtcode_commons::MultiErrors;
let mut errors: MultiErrors<String> = MultiErrors::new();
let value: Option<i32> = errors.collect_result("42".parse::<i32>().map_err(|e| e.to_string()));
assert_eq!(value, Some(42));

Composing with traditional error handling

Use ok or to_anyhow to convert back into a traditional Result.

Implementations

impl<E> MultiErrors<E>

pub fn new() -> Self

Create an empty error collection.

pub fn push(&mut self, error: E)

Add a single error to the collection.

pub fn extend(&mut self, iter: impl IntoIterator<Item = E>)

Extend the collection with multiple errors.

pub fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

Returns true if no errors have been collected.

pub fn len(&self) -> usize

Returns the number of collected errors.

pub fn into_inner(self) -> Vec<E>

Consume the collector and return the underlying error vector.

pub fn as_slice(&self) -> &[E]

Returns a slice of all collected errors.

pub fn iter(&self) -> Iter<'_, E>

Returns an iterator over the collected errors.

pub fn ok(self) -> Result<(), Self>

Convert into Result<()> — succeeds if no errors were collected.

pub fn clear(&mut self)

Remove all errors from the collection.

pub fn collect_result<T, F>(&mut self, result: Result<T, F>) -> Option<T>

where F: Into<E>,

Process a Result, returning the success value or collecting the error.

This is the key ergonomic method — it keeps the happy path as the primary flow while silently collecting errors for later inspection.

pub fn to_anyhow(&self) -> Error

where E: Display,

Convert into an anyhow::Error for use with traditional error handling.

use the Display impl or to_string()
