Haxl.Core.Exception

Contents

Description

An exception hierarchy that can be used with the Haxl monad.

The Haxl framework may throw exceptions from this hierarchy: for example, a misbehaving data source causes dataFetch to throw a DataSourceError. The combinator withDefault from Haxl.Core.Prelude uses this hierarchy to provide default values for expressions that raise TransientError or LogicError exceptions.

You are under no obligations to use this hierarchy for your own exceptions, but you might find it useful nonetheless; for withDefault to be useful, for example, you'll want your exceptions to be children of LogicError or TransientError as appropriate.

Most users should import Haxl.Core instead of importing this module directly.

Synopsis

Documentation

data HaxlException Source

We have a 3-tiered hierarchy of exceptions, with HaxlException at the top, and all Haxl exceptions as children of this. Users should never deal directly with HaxlExceptions.

The main types of exceptions are:

InternalError
Something is wrong with Haxl core.
LogicBug
Something is wrong with Haxl client code.
LogicError
Things that really should be return values, e.g. NotFound.
TransientError
Something is temporarily failing (usually in a fetch).

These are not meant to be thrown (but likely be caught). Thrown exceptions should be a subclass of one of these. There are some generic leaf exceptions defined below this, such as FetchError (generic transient failure) or CriticalError (internal failure).
