I am parsing a form and have written a number of functions func parseAndValidateX(val string) (T, err)
where T is any type.
Now I would like to write a closure func catchError(T, Error) T
, so that I can do something like:
errors []Error
func catchError(val T, err Error) T {
if err != nil {
//append err to errors
}
return val
}
data = MyStruct {
Age = catchError(parseAndValidateAge("5")) // Age is a int
DistanceFromHome = catchError(parseAndValidatePi("3.14")) // DistanceFromHome is a float
Location = catchError(parseAndValidatePi("3.14,2.0")) //Location is a custom Struct
}
if len(errors) > 0 {
// o, oh
}
Is this possible in Go? How can this be done easily/idiomatically?
