Go — handling multiple errors elegantly?
Put the result in a slice instead of variables, put the intial values in another slice to iterate and return during the iteration if there's an error.
var result [][]byte
for _, item := range []interface{}{a, b, c, d, e, f, g} {
res, err := json.Marshal(item)
if err != nil {
return err
}
result = append(result, res)
}
You could even reuse an array instead of having two slices.
var values, err = [...]interface{}{a, b, c, d, e, f, g}, error(nil)
for i, item := range values {
if values[i], err = json.Marshal(item); err != nil {
return err
}
}
Of course, this'll require a type assertion to use the results.
var err error
f := func(dest *D, src S) bool {
*dest, err = json.Marshal(src)
return err == nil
} // EDIT: removed ()
f(&aJson, a) &&
f(&bJson, b) &&
f(&cJson, c) &&
f(&dJson, d) &&
f(&eJson, e) &&
f(&fJson, f) &&
f(&gJson, g)
return err
