Error-Handling

Don’t just be a tool user! Let’s build a frontend error monitoring SDK from scratch. This hands-on guide will walk you through creating your own error tracking system. Why Build Your Own SDK? While there are excellent error monitoring services like Sentry, Rollbar, and Bugsnag, building your own SDK helps you: Understand how error monitoring works under the hood Customize error tracking to your specific needs Learn valuable debugging and monitoring concepts Reduce dependency on third-party services Core Features Our SDK will include: ...

Rust’s error handling is elegant and type-safe. Here’s how to use it effectively. Option Type fn find_user(id: u32) -> Option<String> { if id > 0 { Some(format!("User {}", id)) } else { None } } match find_user(1) { Some(name) => println!("Found: {}", name), None => println!("Not found"), } Result Type use std::fs::File; fn read_file(path: &str) -> Result<String, std::io::Error> { std::fs::read_to_string(path) } match read_file("data.txt") { Ok(content) => println!("Content: {}", content), Err(e) => println!("Error: {}", e), } Error Propagation fn read_config() -> Result<String, std::io::Error> { let content = std::fs::read_to_string("config.txt")?; Ok(content) } Custom Errors use std::fmt; #[derive(Debug)] struct CustomError { message: String, } impl fmt::Display for CustomError { fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result { write!(f, "{}", self.message) } } Best Practices Use Result for recoverable errors Use Option for optional values Propagate errors with ? Create custom errors when needed Handle errors explicitly Conclusion Handle errors elegantly in Rust! 🦀
