+
+This library provides a convenient derive macro for the standard library's
+[`std::error::Error`] trait.
+
+[`std::error::Error`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/error/trait.Error.html
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+thiserror = "1.0"
+```
+
+*Compiler support: requires rustc 1.56+*
+
+<br>
+
+## Example
+
+```rust
+use thiserror::Error;
+
+#[derive(Error, Debug)]
+pub enum DataStoreError {
+ #[error("data store disconnected")]
+ Disconnect(#[from] io::Error),
+ #[error("the data for key `{0}` is not available")]
+ Redaction(String),
+ #[error("invalid header (expected {expected:?}, found {found:?})")]
+ InvalidHeader {
+ expected: String,
+ found: String,
+ },
+ #[error("unknown data store error")]
+ Unknown,
+}
+```
+
+<br>
+
+## Details
+
+- Thiserror deliberately does not appear in your public API. You get the same
+ thing as if you had written an implementation of `std::error::Error` by hand,
+ and switching from handwritten impls to thiserror or vice versa is not a
+ breaking change.
+
+- Errors may be enums, structs with named fields, tuple structs, or unit
+ structs.
+
+- A `Display` impl is generated for your error if you provide `#[error("...")]`
+ messages on the struct or each variant of your enum, as shown above in the
+ example.
+
+ The messages support a shorthand for interpolating fields from the error.
+
+ - `#[error("{var}")]`&ensp;⟶&ensp;`write!("{}", self.var)`
+ - `#[error("{0}")]`&ensp;⟶&ensp;`write!("{}", self.0)`
+ - `#[error("{var:?}")]`&ensp;⟶&ensp;`write!("{:?}", self.var)`
+ - `#[error("{0:?}")]`&ensp;⟶&ensp;`write!("{:?}", self.0)`
+
+ These shorthands can be used together with any additional format args, which
+ may be arbitrary expressions. For example:
+
+ ```rust
+ #[derive(Error, Debug)]
+ pub enum Error {
+ #[error("invalid rdo_lookahead_frames {0} (expected < {})", i32::MAX)]
+ InvalidLookahead(u32),
+ }
+ ```
+
+ If one of the additional expression arguments needs to refer to a field of the
+ struct or enum, then refer to named fields as `.var` and tuple fields as `.0`.
+
+ ```rust
+ #[derive(Error, Debug)]
+ pub enum Error {
+ #[error("first letter must be lowercase but was {:?}", first_char(.0))]
+ WrongCase(String),
+ #[error("invalid index {idx}, expected at least {} and at most {}", .limits.lo, .limits.hi)]
+ OutOfBounds { idx: usize, limits: Limits },
+ }
+ ```
+
+- A `From` impl is generated for each variant containing a `#[from]` attribute.
+
+ Note that the variant must not contain any other fields beyond the source
+ error and possibly a backtrace. A backtrace is captured from within the `From`
+ impl if there is a field for it.
+
+ ```rust
+ #[derive(Error, Debug)]
+ pub enum MyError {
+ Io {
+ #[from]
+ source: io::Error,
+ backtrace: Backtrace,
+ },
+ }
+ ```
+
+- The Error trait's `source()` method is implemented to return whichever field
+ has a `#[source]` attribute or is named `source`, if any. This is for
+ identifying the underlying lower level error that caused your error.
+
+ The `#[from]` attribute always implies that the same field is `#[source]`, so
+ you don't ever need to specify both attributes.
+
+ Any error type that implements `std::error::Error` or dereferences to `dyn
+ std::error::Error` will work as a source.
+
+ ```rust
+ #[derive(Error, Debug)]
+ pub struct MyError {
+ msg: String,
+ #[source] // optional if field name is `source`
+ source: anyhow::Error,
+ }
+ ```
+
+- The Error trait's `provide()` method is implemented to provide whichever field
+ has a type named `Backtrace`, if any, as a `std::backtrace::Backtrace`.
+
+ ```rust
+ use std::backtrace::Backtrace;
+
+ #[derive(Error, Debug)]
+ pub struct MyError {
+ msg: String,
+ backtrace: Backtrace, // automatically detected
+ }
+ ```
+
+- If a field is both a source (named `source`, or has `#[source]` or `#[from]`
+ attribute) *and* is marked `#[backtrace]`, then the Error trait's `provide()`
+ method is forwarded to the source's `provide` so that both layers of the error
+ share the same backtrace.
+
+ ```rust
+ #[derive(Error, Debug)]
+ pub enum MyError {
+ Io {
+ #[backtrace]
+ source: io::Error,
+ },
+ }
+ ```
+
+- Errors may use `error(transparent)` to forward the source and Display methods
+ straight through to an underlying error without adding an additional message.
+ This would be appropriate for enums that need an "anything else" variant.
+
+ ```rust
+ #[derive(Error, Debug)]
+ pub enum MyError {
+ ...
+
+ #[error(transparent)]
+ Other(#[from] anyhow::Error), // source and Display delegate to anyhow::Error
+ }
+ ```
+
+ Another use case is hiding implementation details of an error representation
+ behind an opaque error type, so that the representation is able to evolve
+ without breaking the crate's public API.
+
+ ```rust
+ // PublicError is public, but opaque and easy to keep compatible.
+ #[derive(Error, Debug)]
+ #[error(transparent)]
+ pub struct PublicError(#[from] ErrorRepr);
+
+ impl PublicError {
+ // Accessors for anything we do want to expose publicly.
+ }
+
+ // Private and free to change across minor version of the crate.
+ #[derive(Error, Debug)]
+ enum ErrorRepr {
+ ...
+ }
+ ```
+
+- See also the [`anyhow`] library for a convenient single error type to use in
+ application code.

+
+## Comparison to anyhow
+
+Use thiserror if you care about designing your own dedicated error type(s) so
+that the caller receives exactly the information that you choose in the event of
+failure. This most often applies to library-like code. Use [Anyhow] if you don't
+care what error type your functions return, you just want it to be easy. This is
+common in application-like code.
