support top-level error documents

[chr0n1x]

Couldn't find anything in the code that did this, sorry if I'm misreading stuff.
I think the specs are describing something like:

{
    errors: [
        ...
    ]
}

??

@chr0n1x working on links, meta, and errors atm

[chr0n1x]

👍 😄

[chr0n1x]

@shwoodard do you have an ETA? Or need help? Both?

[shwoodard]

@chr0n1x I have been working hard on how to specify the links hashes throughout the response. Are the errors objects more urgent to you? I could work on these first.

[chr0n1x]

actually, paginated results / links are a big deal. keep at it! 👍

[shwoodard]

@chr0n1x Can you help test and document?

[wolfie82]

Looking forward to this as well 😄

Thanks for the library!

Checking in to see if you need help testing/documenting links.

@shwoodard Still looking for help? Tried your json_extras branch and looks like you are close.

[shwoodard]

@swr would love some help! ping me if still interested.!

Given the JSON API specification surrounding errors (http://jsonapi.org/format/#errors) - noting that all fields are optional - is there a rough idea on how this would be implemented?

Examples in the spec are here: http://jsonapi.org/examples/#error-objects-basics - the major challenges I see are automating the source / pointer detail - other fields like status / code / title would typically be driven by the package user's application.

{
  "errors": [
    {
      "status": "422",
      "source": { "pointer": "/data/attributes/first-name" },
      "title":  "Invalid Attribute",
      "detail": "First name must contain at least three characters."
    }
  ]
}

@elithrar I would say that sticking to the spec and just doing a recursive reflect on struct fields & values would be enough for a first rev. I believe that anything more should be left to the user, as the spec seems to imply.

@shwoodard sorry about the lack of response, my schedule has been fairly packed :(

Ola, another Gopher weighing in. What can I do to get this into master?
