// errors1.rs
//
// This function refuses to generate text to be printed on a nametag if you pass
// it an empty string. It'd be nicer if it explained what the problem was,
// instead of just sometimes returning `None`. Thankfully, Rust has a similar
// construct to `Option` that can be used to express error conditions. Let's use
// it!
//
// Execute `rustlings hint errors1` or use the `hint` watch subcommand for a
// hint.

pub fn generate_nametag_text(name: String) -> Option<String> {
    if name.is_empty() {
        // Empty names aren't allowed.
        None
    } else {
        Some(format!("Hi! My name is {}", name))
    }
}
