Terrors is a package for wrapping Golang errors. Terrors provides additional
context to an error, such as an error code and a stack trace.

Terrors is built and used at [Monzo](https://monzo.com/).

## Usage

Terrors can be used to wrap any object that satisfies the error interface:

```go
terr := terrors.Wrap(err, map[string]string{"context": "my_context"})
```
Terrors can be instantiated directly:

```go
err := terrors.New("not_found", "object not found", map[string]string{
"context": "my_context"
})
```

Terrors offers built-in functions for instantiating `Error`s with common codes:

```go
err := terrors.NotFound("config_file", "config file not found", map[string]string{
"context": my_context
})
```

Terrors provides functions for matching specific `Error`s:

```go
err := NotFound("handler_missing", "Handler not found", nil)
fmt.Println(Matches(err, "not_found.handler_missing")) // true
```

### Retryability

Terrors contains the ability to declare whether or not an error is retryable. This property
is derived from the error code if not specified explicitly.

When using the the wrapping functionality (e.g. `Wrap`, `Augment`, `Propagate`), the retryability
of an error is preserved as expected. Importantly, it is also preserved when constructing a new error from
a causal error with `NewInternalWithCause`.
