fumble

Simple error objects in node. Created specifically to be used with the fetchr library and based on hapi.js' Boom.

Usage

import fumble from 'fumble';
import callAndProcess from './callAndProcess';
import api from 'api';

export default api.base.service({
    name: 'foo',
    read: function (req, resource, params, context, callback) {
        switch(resource) {
            case this.name: 
                callAndProcess(req, params, context, callback);
                return;
        }
        
        const error = fumble.http.create(400, 'Passed in an invalid resource', {
            debug: [resource]
        });
        
        req.error(error);
        req.debug(error.stack); // nice stack trace
        /**
        * logs:
        * { [HttpError: Bad Request] statusCode: 400, message: 
        * 'Passed in an invalid resource', debug: [ resource ] }
        */

        callback(error);
    }
});

API Docs

fumble.http

provides a set of utilities for returning HTTP errors. Each method returns an HttpError instance, which itself extends the native Error class (which means you can access the stack prop on your error instance). Each error has the following two props:

• statusCode {Number} - the HTTP status code (typically 4xx or 5xx).
• message {String} - the error message

fumble.http.create ([status=500], [message='Internal Server Error'], [options])

Generate an HttpError object where:

• statusCode - an HTTP error code number. Must be greater or equal 400
• message - optional message string.
• options - extra options
• options.debug - additional error debug info set to error.debug property.

const error = fumble.http.create(400, 'missing params', { debug: [passedInParams] });
