xerrorz

xerrorz provides GCP-like pretty formatted http error responses and also nested error logs powered by xerrors.

Supported F/W

xerrorz has helper functions specialized for several web frameworks

• net/http
• gin-gonic

Error Contents

You can pick up from preset errors for top-level http error contents (HTTPErrDoc). See ErrType

type HTTPErr struct {
	ErrDoc HTTPErrDoc `json:"error"`
}

type HTTPErrDoc struct {
	Errors  []*InnerErr `json:"errors"`
	Code    int         `json:"code"`
	Message string      `json:"message"`
}

type InnerErr struct {
	Domain       string `json:"domain"`       // global, {yourServiceName}, usage,...
	Reason       string `json:"reason"`       // invalidParameter, required,...
	Location     string `json:"location"`     // Authorization, {paramName},...
	LocationType string `json:"locationType"` // header, parameter, requestBody,...
	Message      string `json:"message"`      // {description}
	Cause        error  `json:"-"`            // For internal-use error reporting, NOT included in error jsons
}

{
  "error": {
    "errors": [
      {
        "domain": "fooService",
        "reason": "invalidArgument",
        "location": "id",
        "locationType": "requestBody",
        "message": "Passed id is invalid"
      }
    ],
    "code": 400,
    "message": "Invalid argument"
  }
}

Usage

Example scenario: io.ErrClosedPipe causes invalidArgument.id and io.ErrNoProgress causes invalidArgument.name

import (
	"github.com/amaya382/xerrorz"
	"encoding/json"
	"fmt"
	"io" // For illustration
	"golang.org/x/xerrors"
)

// Example nested errors causing `invalidArgument.id`
e1 := xerrors.Errorf("e1: %w", io.ErrClosedPipe) // Original error
e2 := xerrors.Errorf("e2: %w", e1)               // Propagated once
e3 := xerrors.Errorf("e3: %w", e2)               // Propagated twice

errRes := xerrorz.NewHTTPErr(xerrorz.InvalidArgument,
	xerrorz.NewInnerErr("fooService", "invalidArgument", "id", "requestBody", "Passed id is invalid", e3),
	xerrorz.NewInnerErr("fooService", "invalidArgument", "name", "requestBody", "Passed name is invalid",
		io.ErrNoProgress))
bJSON, _ := json.Marshal(errRes)
fmt.Println(string(bJSON))  // (1) Print json
fmt.Printf("%+v\n", errRes) // (2) Print error for logging

(1) Generated Response JSON

        "location": "id",
        "locationType": "requestBody",
        "message": "Passed id is invalid"
      },
      {
        "domain": "fooService",
        "reason": "invalidArgument",
        "location": "name",
        "locationType": "requestBody",
        "message": "Passed name is invalid"
      }
    ],
    "code": 400,
    "message": "Invalid argument"
  }
}

  - multiple Read calls return no data or error

Usage for gin

Helper functions set a status code, a content-type header, and a body.

import (
	"github.com/amaya382/xerrorz"
	"github.com/amaya382/xerrorz/helper/xgin"
	"github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
	"io" // For illustration
)

var c *gin.Context // Use a context from handlers

// Status Code: 400
// Header: Content-Type:application/json
// Body: {error json}
xgin.SetHTTPErrJSON(c, xerrorz.InvalidArgument,
	xerrorz.NewInnerErr("fooService", "invalidArgument", "id", "requestBody", "Passed id is invalid", nil),
	xerrorz.NewInnerErr("fooService", "invalidArgument", "name", "requestBody", "Passed name is invalid",
		io.ErrNoProgress))
