How is error handling supposed to work? about coap

[JosefWN]

Yeah, +1 for consistency! I suppose it's a contentious topic, but in line with how standard libraries work, I typically only handle internal errors in my libraries (and perhaps debug logging at most). This leaves the user of the library to implement API-level error handling and logging at large, making it streamlined with the rest of their application.

AS the README says this package is a port of the C# .NET project CoAP .NET so it pretty much follows what that did, if it threw an exception we will, if it logged we will etc. There are some differences caused by dart not supporting exactly what .NET does but in the main it should do the same.

If your asking is there an overall strategy of when we throw, log or retry then no.

is there any chance this could be improved? Would you accept a PR for that, after discussing how things could look like?

[shamblett]

Yes no problem. One large improvement would to be consistent in what we do across the whole package.

Believe this has been addressed. Package re released at version 5.0.0.
