iocloser

This package intends to provide an easy and concise of closing io.Closers.

Typically you will find close that looks like:

defer reader.Close()

Your lint checkers will likely start complaining that you didn't properly handle the error. An error that you really don't care about.

So you might decide to do:

defer func() {
	_ = reader.Close()
  }()

This will make some linters happy but others will not let you get off so easily.

So instead of writing the following (arguably even uglier code):

defer func() {
	err := reader.Close()
	if err != nil {
		log.Printf("error was: %v", err)
	}
  }()

This package allows you to get it back to one line:

defer iocloser.Close(reader, log.Printf)

Or just

defer iocloser.Close(reader)
