# Basics
|
|
|
|
Go supports Errors
|
|
|
|
``` go
|
|
|
|
import (
|
|
"errors"
|
|
"fmt"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
func ThrowError(throwError bool) error {
|
|
if throwError {
|
|
return errors.New("This is an error")
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
fmt.Println("No error was thrown!")
|
|
return nil
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
func main() {
|
|
ThrowError(true)
|
|
ThrowError(false)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Wrappers
|
|
|
|
It appears to be good practice to make errors a `const`. This example
|
|
uses the Error [interface](20200831171822-interfaces):
|
|
|
|
``` go
|
|
const (
|
|
ErrNotFound = DictionaryErr("could not find the word you were looking for")
|
|
ErrWordExists = DictionaryErr("cannot add word because it already exists")
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
type DictionaryErr string
|
|
|
|
func (e DictionaryErr) Error() string {
|
|
return string(e)
|
|
}
|
|
```
