Errors

A simple package for better errors handling. It assigns a string ID to each error for better parsing. It is also duck typed with Go error for interoperability.

package myPackage

import
import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/a-novel/errors"
)

func main() {
	err := errors.New("uniq_id", "something happened")
	
	// ... 
	
	fmt.Print(err.Error()) // something happened
	fmt.Print(err.ID == "uniq_id") // true

	switch err.ID {
	case "uniq_id":
		// Do something.
    case "uniq_id_2":
        // Do something else.
	default:
        // Unknown/Unhandled error.
	}
}
