Types

type Aggregate

type Aggregate errors.Aggregate

Aggregate represents an object that contains multiple errors, but does not necessarily have singular semantic meaning. The aggregate can be used with `errors.Is()` to check for the occurrence of a specific error type. Errors.As() is not supported, because the caller presumably cares about a specific error of potentially multiple that match the given type.

func Flatten

func Flatten(agg Aggregate) Aggregate

Flatten takes an Aggregate, which may hold other Aggregates in arbitrary nesting, and flattens them all into a single Aggregate, recursively.

func NewAggregate

func NewAggregate(errList []error) Aggregate

NewAggregate converts a slice of errors into an Aggregate interface, which is itself an implementation of the error interface. If the slice is empty, this returns nil. It will check if any of the element of input error list is nil, to avoid nil pointer panic when call Error().
