NAME

Throwable::Error - an easy-to-use class for error objects

VERSION

version 1.000

SYNOPSIS

package MyApp::Error;
# NOTE: Moo can also be used here instead of Moose
use Moose;
extends 'Throwable::Error';

has execution_phase => (
  is  => 'ro',
  isa => 'MyApp::Phase',
  default => 'startup',
);

...and in your app...

MyApp::Error->throw("all communications offline");

# or...

MyApp::Error->throw({
  message         => "all communications offline",
  execution_phase => 'shutdown',
});

DESCRIPTION

Throwable::Error is a base class for exceptions that will be thrown to signal errors and abort normal program flow. Throwable::Error is an alternative to Exception::Class, the features of which are largely provided by the Moo object system atop which Throwable::Error is built.

Throwable::Error performs the Throwable and StackTrace::Auto roles. That means you can call throw on it to create and throw an error object in one call, and that every error object will have a stack trace for its creation.

PERL VERSION SUPPORT

This module has a long-term perl support period. That means it will not require a version of perl released fewer than five years ago.

Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl.

ATTRIBUTES

message

This attribute must be defined and must contain a string describing the error condition. This string will be printed at the top of the stack trace when the error is stringified.

stack_trace

This attribute, provided by StackTrace::Auto, will contain a stack trace object guaranteed to respond to the as_string method. For more information about the stack trace and associated behavior, consult the StackTrace::Auto docs.

METHODS

as_string

This method will provide a string representing the error, containing the error's message followed by the its stack trace.
