Error Handling

This module provides the core error handling types for Ri, including the RiError enum and RiResult type alias. It defines a comprehensive set of error variants for different error scenarios encountered in the Ri library.

Key Components

• RiError: Enum representing all possible errors in Ri
• RiResult: Type alias for Result<T, RiError> used throughout the library

Design Principles

1. Comprehensive Coverage: Covers all major error categories encountered in Ri
2. Type Safety: Each error variant provides specific context about the error
3. Easy Conversion: Implements From traits for common external error types
4. Human-Readable: Provides clear, descriptive error messages
5. Standard Compliance: Implements std::error::Error and std::fmt::Display

Usage

use ri::prelude::*;
 
fn example_function() -> RiResult<()> {
    // Return a custom error
    Err(RiError::Other("An error occurred"))
}
 
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> RiResult<()> {
    match example_function() {
        Ok(_) => println!("Success"),
        Err(err) => {
            println!("Error: {}", err);
            Err(err)
        }
    }
}
