Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Havildar - An Error middleware for express js

Wyy to Use

  1. It has inbuilt HTTPClientError class, which you can use to create custom error classes.

  2. It has default 404 handler.

  3. It catches all run time errors and sends proper HTTP compatible response.

  4. It saves your process from unwanted restarts.

  5. By default it logs errors with console.error, however you can provide your own logger function that will be called when error occurred.

  6. Supports REST Api error codes.

Setup

Install

npm install --save havildar

How to use

add to your express app

const havildar = require('havildar');

OR

import havildar from 'havildar';

Add as middleware in your server file

const router = express();
/**
 * Add error handler after routes
 **/
havildar(router);

Or to use with custom logger function

havildar(router, logger.error);

This will enable havildar to catch and render all errors.

IMP: Set NODE_ENV=production to avoid sending error stack trace of unknown errors in response.

Throw client error from anywhere in the code

import HTTPClientError from 'havildar/lib/HttpClientError'
/**
 * Code in between
 **/
throw new HTTPClientError({ httpCode: 400, message: { error: "bad request" }});
//Status: 400 ; Response { error: "bad request" }

// OR with 200 http status
throw new HTTPClientError({ message: { code: "1232", error: "bad request" }});
//Status:200 ; Response { code: "1232", error: "bad request" }

Use Error classes to create custom errors

import HTTPClientError from 'havildar/lib/HttpClientError'

OR

const HTTPClientError = require('havildar/lib/HttpClientError');

Create custom Error class.

import HTTPClientError from 'havildar/lib/HttpClientError'

export class HTTP400Error extends HTTPClientError {
  constructor(message: string | object = "Bad Request") {
    super({ httpCode: 400, message: message });
  }
}

Throw anywhere suitable. It will be caught, logged and rendered by havildar.

throw new HTTP400Error({ error: "invalid email address!" })

You API response will be rendered correctly with HTTP status 400.

{ "error" : "invalid email address!" }
