skip_error

skip_error provides a single macro to help ignoring Error that would happen in a loop. See documentation to know more.

Rust version requirement

skip_error 3.0.0 requires Rustc version 1.54 or greater.

lib.rs:

This crate provides a single macro to help skipping a error in a loop, possibly logging it.

For example, imagine you have some code like this.

for string_number in &["1", "2", "three", "4"] {
  let number: u32 = match string_number.parse() {
    Ok(n) => n,
    Err(e) => continue,
  };
}

Then you can use the macro skip_error! to write like this.

for string_number in &["1", "2", "three", "4"] {
  let number: u32 = skip_error!(string_number.parse());
}

Or even better, use the trait SkipError that extends Iterator and do the following (essentially equivalent to [Iterator::flatten()] but see below for logging abilities).

use skip_error::SkipError;
let numbers: Vec<u32> = ["1", "2", "three", "4"]
  .into_iter()
  .map(|string_number| string_number.parse())
  .skip_error()
  .collect();

Features

• log: emit log message with the standard std::log macro. Disabled by default.
• tracing: emit traces with the tracing::trace macro. Disabled by default. If both log and tracing are enabled, then log will be ignored since tracing is configured in a compatibility mode with standard log.
