SwiftHow to Create Custom Errors
Define clear error types for your domain.
Steps
- Paste the code into a Swift file or playground.
- Run it once to verify the output.
- Adjust the inputs to match your use case.
Copy and paste
import Foundation
enum LoginError: Error {
case invalidCredentials
case lockedOut
}
func login(user: String, password: String) throws {
throw LoginError.invalidCredentials
}Notes
- Keep functions small and focused for reuse.
- Prefer safe APIs like optionals and guards.
