@simpleview/express-async-handler

Wrap an express handler to properly handle async errors. Same as npm express-async-handler but with better typing.

Installation

npm install @simpleview/express-async-handler

Use

Basic Example

import express from "express";
import { asyncWrap } from "@simpleview/express-async-handler";

const app = express();
app.get("/", asyncWrap(async function(req, res, next) {
    // any errors thrown will be passed on to next() automatically
});

With custom typing

In order to get rich typing you'll want to setup some helper types. There are two primary needs for custom typing.

• Customization of the Application locals (req.app.locals, res.app.locals).
• Customization of the Request (req.query, req.body, req.session).

There is a full example in examples/custom_typing.
