discord-error

Creates a JavaScript Error from the body response of a Discord API JSON error message. It is intended to be used primarily in libraries rather than client code.

Usage

import { DiscordError, isDiscordError } from "discord-error";

// This should be the incoming interaction request
const request = new Request();

// A request to the Discord API that performs some action
const response = await fetch(DISCORD_API, { ...options });

if (!response.ok) {
	const data = await response.json();
	const label = isDiscordError(data) ? data.code : data.error;
	throw new DiscordError(request, response, label, data);
}
