About

go-try is a package that allows you to use try/catch block in Go.

This project is still in its early stages, so any thoughts and feedback are very welcome!

Why go-try?

Many Go developers get tired of dealing with errors because there are too many errors to handle one by one, which is intuitive and effective, but really annoying.

I've been trying to find out if Go has an error handling method like try/catch, I think that would probably be a lot easier, but unfortunately, I couldn't find any package that's easy to use.

So I tried to make one myself, taking inspiration from the try/catch syntax, then go-try was born!

Getting Started

Installation

go get github.com/ez4o/go-try

Usage

Try(func () {
  ...
  ThrowOnError(ce)
  ...
  ThrowOnError(err)
  ...
}).Catch(func (ce CustomError) {
  ...
}).Catch(func (e error, st *StackTrace) {
  ...
  st.Print()
})

Functions

Name	Description
Try()	Takes func (), wrap your code here!
Catch()	Takes func (any) or func (any, *StackTrace), and it will only accept the error type you have declared. You can accept second parameter, which is the stack trace begin from the last ThrowOnError().
ThrowOnError()	Takes any. Will only throw an error when the parameter is not nil.
st.Print()	If you have declared the second parameter st *StackTrace, you can print the stack trace using st.Print().

Example

Let's say you want to fetch JSON from a url and unmarshal it, you can simply write it like this:

import (
  "encoding/json"
  "fmt"
  "io/ioutil"
  "net/http"
    
  . "github.com/ez4o/go-try"
)

func main() {
  Try(func() {
    resp, err := http.Get("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts")
    ThrowOnError(err)
    defer resp.Body.Close()
    
    b, err := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)
    ThrowOnError(err)

    var data []map[string]interface{}
    err = json.Unmarshal(b, &data)
    ThrowOnError(err)

    fmt.Println(data)
  }).Catch(func(e error, st *StackTrace) {
    fmt.Println(e)
    st.Print()
  })
}
