Types

type Category

type Category int

The Category is used for categorizing errors so that we can know when to point the user to the logs or not.

func GetCategory

func GetCategory(err error) Category

GetCategory returns the error category for a categorized error, OK for nil, and Unknown for other errors

func (Category) New

func (c Category) New(untypedErr any) error

New creates a new categorized error based in its argument. The argument can be an error or a string. If it isn't, it will be converted to a string using its '%v' formatter.

func (Category) Newf

func (c Category) Newf(format string, a ...any) error

Newf creates a new categorized error based on a format string with arguments. The error is created using fmt.Errorf() so using '%w' is relevant for error arguments.
