[−][src]Trait err_context::ResultExt

pub trait ResultExt<T, E>: ResultSealed + Sized {
    fn context<M>(self, msg: M) -> Result<T, Context<M, E>>
    where
        M: Display;

    fn with_context<F, M>(self, f: F) -> Result<T, Context<M, E>>
    where
        F: FnOnce(&E) -> M,
        M: Display;
}

Extension traits for results.

This provides method to enrich the error in the result with additional context. See the general principles and examples at the crate level documentation.

Usually, this trait isn't imported directly, but through the prelude.

Required methods

fn context<M>(self, msg: M) -> Result<T, Context<M, E>> where
    M: Display, 

Wraps the error in another layer of context.

If the result is success, this does nothing. If it is error, it wraps the error in another layer, in the same way as calling .context on that error itself would.

If the construction of the message is expensive, consider using with_context.

fn with_context<F, M>(self, f: F) -> Result<T, Context<M, E>> where
    F: FnOnce(&E) -> M,
    M: Display, 

Wraps the error in another layer of context.

This works in a similar way as context. However, the closure to construct the context is called only in case the result is Err, avoiding the construction cost in the success case.

As the common usage goes, string literal can be passed directly with context, but calling format! to construct the message would be better done with this method.
