Dr. Boom
Dr. Boom detects errors being passed into Hapi's HTTP replies and converts them into the appropriate HTTP Error.
This allows you to pass the resulting error and result from a database query to reply without having to do special error handling.
Example
For example, to detect Joi validation errors:
let Hapi = require('hapi');
server.register([
{
register: require('drboom'),
options: {
plugins: [require('drboom-joi')({})]
}
}
], (err) => {
// ...
});
Then when a route serves an a Joi validation result as the first argument, the reply is automatically converted to an HTTP 400 Bad Request error.
Writing a Dr. Boom Plugin
A Dr. Boom plugin is an object with two functions, detect
and handle
.
detect(value, request, reply)
value
is the first argument sent to reply.
return: Boolean, false meaning that you didn't detect an error your handler can deal with.
handle(value, request, reply)
value
is the first argument sent to reply.
return: Boom error or falsey.
