Error Type Vagueness #16

Open RGood opened 3 years ago

RGood commented 3 years ago

Currently go-reddit uses the default error type in Go, which is just an interface with a string attribute. It would be helpful to create a custom error type that included more specific information such as response code or the specific ENUM error type.

Hello! Thank you for opening this issue. Can you please provide an example? Some of the error types (here) contain an *http.Response instance which can be inspected if an error is returned.

The example / use-case I'm thinking of pertains to the client.Message.Send method, which just returns a generic error object, as far as I can tell
