Feature Proposal Description

When genericParseType encounters a parsing error and no default value is set, it silently sets the zero value without returning an error or panicking.

func TestGeneric(t *testing.T) {
    var v int8
    u := genericParseType("2000", v)
    fmt.Println(u)
}

> go test --run TestGeneric -v
=== RUN   TestGeneric
0
--- PASS: TestGeneric (0.00s)

In my opinion, the return value of genericParseType should include an error. Functions like Query, Params, and GetReqHeader use genericParseType, but there is no error handling when parsing unexpected values.

Feature Examples

func genericParseType[V GenericType](str string, v V, defaultValue ...V) (V, error)
func GetReqHeader[V GenericType](c Ctx, key string, defaultValue ...V) (V, error)
func Params[V GenericType](c Ctx, key string, defaultValue ...V) (V, error)
func Query[V GenericType](c Ctx, key string, defaultValue ...V) (V, error)

// If `defaultValue` is not set and a parsing error occurs, an error should be returned.
