README
[Emperror](.github/logo.png?raw=true)
The Emperor takes care of all errors personally.
Go's philosophy encourages to gracefully handle errors whenever possible, but some times recovering from an error is not.
In those cases handling the error means making the best effort to record every detail for later inspection, doing that as high in the application stack as possible.
This project provides tools to make error handling easier.

Features
- Various error handling strategies (eg. logging, third-party error services) using a simple interface
- Various helpers related to error handling (recovery from panics, etc)
- Integrations with well-known error catchers and libraries:
Installation
go get emperror.dev/emperror
Usage
Log errors
Logging is one of the most common target to record error events.
Emperror has two logger integrations by default:
Annotate errors passing through an error handler
Emperror can annotate errors with details as defined in emperror.dev/errors
package main
import (
"emperror.dev/emperror"
"emperror.dev/errors"
)
func main() {
handler := emperror.WithDetails(newHandler(), "key", "value")
err := errors.New("error")
// handled error will receive the handler details
handler.Handle(err)
}
Panics and recovers
package main
import (
"emperror.dev/emperror"
"emperror.dev/errors"
)
func main() {
var handler emperror.Handler = newHandler()
// Recover from panics and handle them as errors
defer emperror.HandleRecover(handler)
// nil errors will not panic
emperror.Panic(nil)
// this will panic if foo returns with a non-nil error
// useful in main func for initial setup where "if err != nil" does not make much sense
emperror.Panic(foo())
}
func foo() error {
return errors.New("error")
}
Filter errors
Sometimes you might not want to handle certain errors that reach the error handler. A common example is a catch-all error handler in a server. You want to return business errors to the client.
package main
import (
"emperror.dev/emperror"
"emperror.dev/errors/match"
)
func main() {
var handler emperror.Handler = emperror.WithFilter(newHandler(), match.Any{/*any emperror.ErrorMatcher*/})
// errors matching the provided matcher will not be handled
handler.Handle(err)
}
