Build as support for Gauss Box API. Works with Sails.js only.

Build and format more readable error response for GaussBox.

Install

$ npm install --save gbox-errors

Config parameters

{
    "environment": "app environment",
    "packageJson": { content of package.json file}
    "emailConfig": {
        "host": "mail server host",
        "port": "mail server post",
        "user": "mail server username",
        "pass": "mail server password",
        "errorNotification": true,     // would be used for error notifications
        "contacts": ['[email protected]'],
        "status": [500]     // for which http status codes mail would be sent
    },
    "sentry": {
        "configuration": {
            "dsn": "sentry dsn url"
        },
        "user": { user params for log outputs }
        "tags": { "tagKey": "tagValue", ... },
        "level": "error",
        "extra": { "key": "value", ... },

    }

}

• environment - in production environment, error details would not be sent
• packageJson - this is used for detailed error output like apiName, version etc.
• sentry - this is used for sending error logs to sentry (only dsn is required, if some parameter is not set, then sentry defaults is used)
• sentry.configuration - this is sentry configuration options (dsn and environment is required, other is set only if provided)
• sentry.user - user details for filtering log outputs
• sentry.tags - tags for filtering log outputs
• sentry.level - you can set the severity of an event to one of five values: ‘fatal’, ‘error’, ‘warning’, ‘info’, and ‘debug’. (‘error’ is the default.) ‘fatal’ is the most severe and ‘debug’ is the least.
• sentry.extra - in addition to the structured context that Sentry understands, you can send arbitrary key/value pairs of data which will be stored alongside the event. These are not indexed and are simply used to add additional information about what might be happening
• sentry.breadcrumb - sentry breadcrumb options

Usage in response

//Handle error in response
const formatError = require('gbox-errors')(config);

let error = formatError.format(data);

return this.res.status(error.status).json(error.response);

Usage in controller

* optional

//status is number and message is string with min i char needed.
res.negotiate([status,message,options*])


//Example

res.negotiate([404,'Document id not found.']);

//Example with option

res.negotiate([404,'Document id not found.','Document Controller']);

Handle GOT err response

//Example
return this.res.status(error.response.body.error.statusCode).json(error.response.body);

Response

   * on error response data object is always empty
   * message object is for frontend and client

   //if sails run development mode, response extends with object error (see example)

    * apiTrace showing some info from package.json
    * errorTrace trace where error came from (if error can't be traced, errorTrace is removed)

//Example
//Production mode

{
    "data": [],
    "message": "Document fail"
}

//Example
//Development mode

{
    "data": [],
    "message": "Cannot read property 'body' of undefined",
    "error": {
        "statusCode": 500,
        "payload": {
            "statusCode": 500,
