Error Handling in IO
handleError.
Errors as Values
In Cats Effect, an IO can fail. The failure is part of the value, so you can inspect and recover from it without unstructured try/catch.
Raising Errors
Use IO.raiseError to create a failed IO explicitly with a chosen exception.
import cats.effect.IO
val failed: IO[Int] =
IO.raiseError(new RuntimeException("boom"))All lessons in this course
