ErrorKit

Error Kit is a handy iOS library for making NSError handling easier.

It covers error object creation, inspection, presentation and recovery.

Examples

Log error (if any)

MRLogError(error);

Assert

MRNotErrorAssert(error);

Access error values

NSString *helpAnchor = error.helpAnchor;
NSURLRequest *request = error.failingURLRequest;
NSArray *errors = error.detailedErrors;
// and so on...
// (supports most AFNetworking, AVFoundation, Core Data, Facebook SDK and JSONKit keys)

Present error to the user

    if (!error.isCancelledError) {
        [[UIAlertView alertWithTitle:nil error:error] show];
    }
    // or you can rely on responder chain and do:
    // [self presentError:error];

Attempt to recover from error

    if (error.code == NSURLErrorNotConnectedToInternet && error.isHTTPError) {
        MRErrorBuilder *builder = [MRErrorBuilder builderWithError:error];
        builder.localizedRecoverySuggestion = NSLocalizedString(@"Please check your internet connection.", nil);
       [builder addRecoveryOption:NSLocalizedString(@"Retry", nil)
                        withBlock:^(NSError *error) {
            [[HTTPClient sharedClient] resendRequest];
        }];
        [self presentError:builder.error];
    }

Stringize error code

NSString *debugString = [MRErrorFormatter debugStringWithDomain:error.domain code:error.code]; // e.g. NSURLErrorNetworkConnectionLost
NSString *localizedString = [MRErrorFormatter stringWithDomain:error.domain code:error.code]; // e.g. Connection Lost
// (supports most Accounts, Admob, AVFoundation, Core Data, Core Location, Facebook SDK, iAD, JSONKit, Map Kit, MessageUI, Security, Store Kit, TransitionKit and VeriJSON codes)

Other examples

Handle Facebook errors

// ErrorKit provides handlers for Facebook authentication, request permission and API calls errors.
- (BOOL)handleFacebookAuthError:(NSError *)error withLoginBlock:(void(^)(NSError *))loginBlock;
- (BOOL)handleFacebookRequestPermissionError:(NSError *)error;
- (BOOL)handleFacebookAPICallError:(NSError *)error withPermissionBlock:(void(^)(NSError *))permissionBlock andRetryBlock:(void(^)(NSError *))retryBlock;

Access JSON values

// ErrorKit also provides methods for safely retrieving values from dictionaries and arrays:
- (NSNumber *)numberForKey:(id)aKey withError:(NSError **)errorPtr;
- (NSString *)stringForKey:(id)aKey withError:(NSError **)errorPtr;
- (NSArray *)arrayForKey:(id)aKey withError:(NSError **)errorPtr;
- (NSDictionary *)dictionaryForKey:(id)aKey withError:(NSError **)errorPtr;
// etc.

Installation

1. Drag and drop the ErrorKit folder to your project.
2. Add #import "ErrorKitDefines.h" or customize enabled features by defining ERROR_KIT_CORE and some of the following contants somewhere (e.g. in your -Prefix.pch file): ERROR_KIT_ACCOUNTS, ERROR_KIT_ADMOB, ERROR_KIT_AFNETWORKING, ERROR_KIT_AVFOUNDATION, ERROR_KIT_CORE_DATA, ERROR_KIT_CORE_LOCATION, ERROR_KIT_FACEBOOK, ERROR_KIT_HTTP, ERROR_KIT_JSON_KIT, ERROR_KIT_JSON_VALUES, ERROR_KIT_MAP_KIT, ERROR_KIT_MESSAGE_UI, ERROR_KIT_NSEXCEPTION, ERROR_SECURITY, ERROR_KIT_STORE_KIT, ERROR_KIT_TRANSITION_KIT, ERROR_KIT_IAD, ERROR_KIT_UI_KIT and/or ERROR_KIT_VERI_JSON.
3. Finally add #import "ErrorKit.h".
