createGRPCError(message, code, metadata) ⇒ Error

Utility function that creates an Error suitable for gRPC responses. See tests for all examples

Kind: global function
Returns: Error - The new Error

Param	Type	Description
message	String | Number | Error | Object	If String the error message If Number the error code If instanceof Error, the error to source data from. We still create a new Error instance, copy data from the passed error and assign / merge the rest of arguments. This can be used to mege metadata of existing error with additional metadata. If Object, assumed to be metadata, either plain object representation or actual grpc.Metadata instance. We use grpc-create-metadata module to create metadata for the return value.
code	Number | Object	If Number the error code If Object, assumed to be metadata, either plain object representation or actual grpc.Metadata instance. We use grpc-create-metadata module to create metadata for the return value.
metadata	Object	The error metadata. Either plain object representation or actual grpc.Metadata instance. We use grpc-create-metadata module to create metadata for the return value.

Example

const createGRPCError = require('create-grpc-error')
 
const err = createGRPCError('Boom', 2000, { ERROR_CODE: 'INVALID_TOKEN' })
console.log(err.message) // 'Boom'
console.log(err.code) // 2000
console.log(err.metadata instanceof grpc.Metadata) // true
console.log(err.metadata.getMap()) // { error_code: 'INVALID_TOKEN' }

Example (Source from error and merge metadatas)

const createGRPCError = require('create-grpc-error')
 
const existingError = new Error('Boom')
existingError.metadata = new grpc.Metadata()
existingError.metadata.add('foo', 'bar')
 
const err = createGRPCError(existingError, 2000, { ERROR_CODE: 'INVALID_TOKEN' })
console.log(err.message) // 'Boom'
console.log(err.code) // 2000
console.log(err.metadata instanceof grpc.Metadata) // true
console.log(err.metadata.getMap()) // { foo: 'bar', error_code: 'INVALID_TOKEN' }

applyCreate(err, message, code, metadata) ⇒ Error

Actual function that does all the work. Same as createGRPCError but applies cretion to the existing error.

Returns: Error - See createGRPCError description
