This is a convenience equivalent to the per-module `c:Errata.Error.create/1` macro, but it lives on the `Errata` module. Because you typically already `require Errata` (to use the guards above), you can `alias` your error modules and call `Errata.create/2` for any of them without a separate `require` for each error type: defmodule MyApp.Orders do require Errata alias MyApp.Orders.{OrderNotFound, PaymentDeclined} def fetch_order(id) do {:error, Errata.create(OrderNotFound, reason: :not_found, context: %{order_id: id})} end end Compare to the per-module macro, which requires a `require` for every error type used in the module: require MyApp.Orders.OrderNotFound, as: OrderNotFound require MyApp.Orders.PaymentDeclined, as: PaymentDeclined """ defmacro create(error_module, params \\ Macro.escape(%{})) do quote do {:current_stacktrace, [_process_info_call | stacktrace]} = Process.info(self(), :current_stacktrace) Errata.Errors.create(unquote(error_module), unquote(params), __ENV__, stacktrace) end end @doc """ Converts any Errata error to a plain, JSON-encodable map.
