Unify the error types in the nutype package
gensmusic opened this issue · comments
Hi,
I'm writing to you today to suggest that you consider unifying the error types for each struct in the nutype package. Currently, each struct has its own enum error type, which can make it difficult to track and handle errors.
I propose that we unify the error types into a single error type called ValidateError. This would make it easier to track and handle errors, as we would only need to handle a single error type instead of multiple error types.
I believe that this change would be a valuable improvement to the nutype package. Thank you for your time and consideration.
@gensmusic Hi! Thanks for raising this.
You're not the first one who is raising this issue (another one was #43).
The primary motivation for having dedicated error types is to force users:
- To handle the error cases which are relevant and may happen
- Not to worry about error variants which are not relevant
But since there is a demand for a generic/common error type, I consider to implement some easy-to-use conversions into that common error type from specific error type.
I will keep this issue open, so I keep this in mind.
If you have any other questions/suggestions please let me know! I am very curious to hear from users and their use cases.
