Express REST APi Error-Handler
What is it?
It provides a minimalistic error-hanlding middleware layer to your express REST-API, Web App, or anything else by formatting error-data and sending JSON in response
Example Response :
{
"error": {
"type": "Bad Request",
"message": "Invalid data provided",
"payload": { "name" : "Invalid name" }
}
}Motivation
Are you also tired of having to re-write simple, yet annoying error-hadnling middleware for your API, but existing packages are to robust or lack configuration for you? Try this one:
- Zero-Configuration
- Minimalistic
- Full-Customizable
Getting started
Intall : npm install express-rest-errors
Set Up:
const express=require("express")
const errors=require("express-rest-errors")
const app=express()
// ... Some express config
app.use(errors())
app.listen(PORT)Throw error :
throw errors.error(
400, // Status-code - 500 by default
"Message", // Error message - Optional
{...}, // Payload error data - Optional
) And that`s it! Now some examples of more advanced usage
Advanced Configuration
app.use(errors({
default : {...}, // Default payload data
codes : {
400 : "[Title]", // Title for error with particular error code
...
},
message : {
400 : "[Message]", // Default messages for errors with particular error code
...
}
