@n4it/global-error-interceptor

A NestJS module for catching and handling errors globally. The ErrorInterceptorModule will catch all errors thrown in your NestJS application by default.

Installation

To install the module, use npm:

npm install @n4it/global-error-interceptor

Usage

Importing and Configuring the Module

To use the ErrorInterceptorModule, import it into your NestJS module and configure it using the register method. This method allows you to enable logging and handle specific errors globally.

import { ErrorInterceptorModule } from "@n4it/global-error-interceptor";
import { Module } from "@nestjs/common";

@Module({
  imports: [
    ErrorInterceptorModule.register({
      logErrros: true,
      logFailures: true,
    }),
  ],
})
export class AppModule {}

Custom Error Handling

You can extend the module to handle custom errors, such as those from TypeORM. This is done by mapping specific errors to HTTP status codes.

import { ErrorInterceptorModule } from "@n4it/global-error-interceptor";
import { Module } from "@nestjs/common";
import {
  CannotCreateEntityIdMapError,
  EntityNotFoundError,
  QueryFailedError,
} from "typeorm";

@Module({
  imports: [
    ErrorInterceptorModule.register({
      // if you want to extend the working with custom errors
      // for example, with TypeORM errors:
      customErrorToStatusCodeMap: new Map([
        [EntityNotFoundError.name, 404],
        [CannotCreateEntityIdMapError.name, 422],
        [QueryFailedError.name, 400],
      ])
    }),
  ],
})
export class AppModule {}

Error handling for unauthorized exceptions

You can extend the module to invoke a function when an unauthorized exception is throwed.

import { ErrorInterceptorModule } from "@n4it/global-error-interceptor";
import { Module, ArgumentsHost, HttpException } from "@nestjs/common";

@Module({
  imports: [
    ErrorInterceptorModule.register({
      onUnauthorized: (exception: HttpException, host: ArgumentsHost) => {
        // do something here, for example, delete session cookies
      }
    }),
  ],
})
export class AppModule {}
