Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

an extendable ES6 Error with support for HTTP errors

Installation

npm install --save @ganintegrity/gan-error

Usage

const GanError = require('@ganintegrity/gan-error');

const error = new GanError('something bad happened');

console.log(error.message); // => 'something bad happened'
console.log(error.name); // => 'GanError'

class MyError extends GanError {}

const myError = new MyError('some other bad thing happened');

console.log(myError.message); // => 'some other bad thing happened'
console.log(myError.name); // => 'MyError''

When passed an error instance, the message is "inherited" from the error instance and the passed error stored as originalError:

class CustomError extends GanError {}

const error = new CustomError(new Error('foo'));

console.log(error.message); // => 'foo'
console.log(error.originalError); // => new Error('foo')

Also, if the passed error instance has a status property, it will also be copied over from the error:

class CustomError extends GanError {}

const error = new CustomError(new GanError.InternalServerError('foo'));

console.log(error.message); // => 'foo'
console.log(error.status); // => 500
console.log(error.originalError); // => new GanError.InternalServerError('foo')

Objects can also be passed to the constructor. They will be stored as data on the error:

class CustomError extends GanError {}

const error = new CustomError({ foo: 'bar' } });

console.log(error.message); // => ''
console.log(error.data); // => { message: 'foo', foo: 'bar' }

If the object contains a message property whose value is a string, then that is also used as the error's message:

class CustomError extends GanError {}

const error = new CustomError({ message: 'oops!', foo: 'bar' } });

console.log(error.message); // => 'oops!'
console.log(error.data); // => { message: 'oops!', foo: 'bar' }

HTTP errors

HTTP errors are exposed as static properties on GanError by name and by status code:

// base http error, without `status`
class MyError extends GanError.HttpError {}
// http error with `status` 500
class MySecondError extends GanError.InternalServerError {}
// same, http error with `status` 500
class MyOtherError extends GanError['500'] {}

Disabling HTTP errors

If you're using this module for the browser and you don't need support for http errors, you can disable them altogether by setting the DISABLE_GAN_HTTP_ERRORS environment variable to true when bundling your frontend code (e.g. with webpack's DefinePlugin). This reduces the size of the frontend bundle.
