Minimal and good enough error handling library for Clojure/ClojureScript (and also Babashka/nbb)
This library is based on "Good Enough" error handling in Clojure.
-
Easy to imagine behavior
-
Minimum to remember
-
All usage and examples are documented in docstring
-
(require '[merr.core :as merr])
;; => nil
;; for ClojureScript
;; (require '[merr.core :as merr :include-macros true])
(merr/let err [foo 1
bar (merr/error)
baz (* bar 2)]
{: err err :foo foo :bar bar :baz baz})
;; => {: err (merr/error), :foo 1, :bar nil, :baz nil}
(merr/let err [a 10
b (inc a)
c (inc b)]
(if err
(merr/message err)
(str "c = " c)))
;; => "c = 12"
(merr/let err [a 10
b (merr/error {:message "ERROR"})
c (inc b)]
(if err
(merr/message err)
(str "c = " c)))
;; => "ERROR"
(merr/->> 10 ( 1) (- 1))
;; => -10
(merr/->> 10 ((fn [_] (merr/error))) (- 1))
;; => (merr/error)
You can specify any keywords as :type
, but you may want to define and use specific :type
of errors in your project.
In that case, merr.helper
is useful.
(require '[merr.helper :as merr.h])
;; => nil
(def custom-error (partial merr.h/typed-error ::custom-error-type))
;; => var?
(def custom-error? (partial merr.h/typed-error? ::custom-error-type))
;; => var?
(custom-error? (custom-error {:message "custom error"}))
;; => true
typed-error?
will check child error types, so you can define sub errors via clojure.core/derive
.
(derive ::sub-custom-error-type ::custom-error-type)
;; => nil
(custom-error? (merr/error {:type ::sub-custom-error-type}))
;; => true
