Package Usage: go: github.com/ansel1/merry/v2

Package merry adds context to errors, including automatic stack capture, cause chains, HTTP status code, user messages, and arbitrary values. Wrapped errors work a lot like google's golang.org/x/net/context package: each wrapper error contains the inner error, a key, and a value. Like contexts, errors are immutable: adding a key/value to an error always creates a new error which wraps the original. This package comes with built-in support for adding information to errors: * stacktraces * changing the error message * HTTP status codes * End user error messages * causes You can also add your own additional information. The stack capturing feature can be turned off for better performance, though it's pretty fast. Benchmarks on an 2017 MacBook Pro, with go 1.10: This package contains functions for creating errors, or wrapping existing errors. To create: Additional context information can be attached to errors using functional options, called Wrappers: Errorf() also accepts wrappers, mixed in with the format args: Wrappers can be applied to existing errors with Wrap(): Wrap() will add a stacktrace to any error which doesn't already have one attached. WrapSkipping() can be used to control where the stacktrace starts. This package contains wrappers for adding specific context information to errors, such as an HTTPCode. You can create your own wrappers using the primitive Value(), WithValue(), and Set() functions. Errors produced by this package implement fmt.Formatter, to print additional information about the error: Details() prints the error message, all causes, the stacktrace, and additional error values configured with RegisterDetailFunc(). By default, it will show the HTTP status code and user message. By default, any error created by or wrapped by this package will automatically have a stacktrace captured and attached to the error. This capture only happens if the error doesn't already have a stack attached to it, so wrapping the error with additional context won't capture additional stacks. When and how stacks are captured can be customized. SetMaxStackDepth() can globally configure how many frames to capture. SetStackCaptureEnabled() can globally configure whether stacks are captured by default. Wrap(err, NoStackCapture()) can be used to selectively suppress stack capture for a particular error. Wrap(err, CaptureStack(false)) will capture a new stack at the Wrap call site, even if the err already had an earlier stack attached. The new stack overrides the older stack. Wrap(err, CaptureStack(true)) will force a stack capture at the call site even if stack capture is disabled globally. Finally, Wrappers are passed a depth argument so they know how deep they are in the call stack from the call site where this package's API was called. This allows Wrappers to implement their own stack capturing logic. The package contains functions for creating new errors with stacks, or adding a stack to `error` instances. Functions with add context (e.g. `WithValue()`) work on any `error`, and will automatically convert them to merry errors (with a stack) if necessary. AddHooks() can install wrappers which are applied to all errors processed by this package. Hooks are applied before any other wrappers or processing takes place. They can be used to integrate with errors from other packages, normalizing errors (such as applying standard status codes to application errors), localizing user messages, or replacing the stack capturing mechanism.
