API Wrapper & Error Boundary for Next.js

This API Wrapper serves two main purposes:

• HTTP Method Resolution (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)
• Error Boundary for Errors & Exceptions
  • Custom Exceptions return a 400..499 status code, along with Exception's message and optional data object in JSON
  • Errors return a 500 status code with "Internal Server Error" message, logging to server's console or logger function

Install

npm i next-api-wrapper

Example usage

// pages/api/hello.js
import Wrapper, { Exception } from 'next-api-wrapper'

export default Wrapper({
  // pass a direct result
  GET: 'Hello World',
  
  // pass a function
  POST: async req => {
    await new Promise(resolve =>
        setTimeout(resolve, 1000)
    )
    
    return {
      time: 1000,
      message: 'Your Post Was Lost'
    }
  },
  
  // throw an exception
  PUT: async req => {
    throw new Exception('Access Forbidden', 403, { minrole: ['editor'] })
  },
  
  // throw an error
  DELETE: async req => {
    throw new Error("You Can't Do That")
  }
})
