lib-error-wrapper

A library to wrap other libraries that throw request-promise errors. Cleans up error output.

Usage

const errorWrapper = require('lib-error-wrapper');
const something = errorWrapper(require('something'));

something.action().catch(err => {
  // If error was a request-promise StatusCodeError, err will be a cleaned up version
});

Will only transform errors with name: 'StatusCodeError', all others will be thrown as received.

options.fields

Wrap your target library passing { fields: ['name'] } as options to include the name field from the original error on the transformed error:

const something = errorWrapper(require('something'), { fields: ['name'] });

options.raw

Use this options to skip all transformations and throw the error as it was received.
