Unica Errors and toolbelt for creating them
It's written in ES6, for node >= 4
These Erros are Therror.ServerError based, and hide implementation details and confidential information for the 5XX
automatically, and use default HTTP Error messages when no specific one is provided.
Installation
npm install --save therror therror-unica
Usage
const Therror = require('therror');
const UnicaError = require('therror-unica');
let arg = 'id';
let err = new UnicaError.InvalidArgument(`Missing argument ${arg}`);
err.unicaCode; // INVALID_ARGUMENT
err.toPayload();
/*
{
"code": "INVALID_ARGUMENT",
"message": "Missing argument id"
}
*/

Create your own API Specific Errors
// Create your own Unica Errors based on Therror.ServerErrors using the UnicaError Mixin
class PaymentRequired extends UnicaError('PAYMENTS.NOT_ENOUGH_BALANCE', Therror.ServerError.PaymentRequired) {}
// or specify the statusCode instead of the class
class PaymentRequired extends UnicaError('PAYMENTS.NOT_ENOUGH_BALANCE', Therror.ServerError[402]) {}
// or go wild with the mixin party
class PaymentRequired extends UnicaError('PAYMENTS.NOT_ENOUGH_BALANCE', Therror.ServerError({
statusCode: 402,
level: 'info',
})) {}
let err = new PaymentRequired();
err.toPayload();
/*
{
"code": "PAYMENTS.NOT_ENOUGH_BALANCE",
"message": "Payment Required"
}
*/
Tips
Create erros with a static kwnon message
class InvalidHeader extends Therror.WithMessage('The header "${header}" is not valid', UnicaError.InvalidArgument) {}
let err = new InvalidHeader({header: 'X-Fwd-To'});
err.toPayload();
/*
{
"code": "INVALID_ARGUMENT",
"message": "The header "X-Fwd-To" is not valid"
}
*/
Add Causes to your errors
If your API service depends on other services, you should not blindly propagate errors from those services to your clients. When translating errors, adjust the party responsible for the error. For example, a server that receives an INVALID_ARGUMENT error from another service should propagate an INTERNAL to its own caller.
try {
throw Error('Boom!');
} catch(err) {
throw new UnicaError.Internal(err, `Service Call failed`);
}
Don't forget to log our errors
Remember, hide implementation details and confidential information in the payload, but log it for forensics. Hiding is automatic for 5XX
errors
// Set your favourite logger (defaults to console)
Therror.Loggable.logger = require('logops'); // but logops is a logger designed to log error causes and properties
let interestingData = { ... };
let err = new UnicaError.Internal(cause, 'Database error', { interestingData });
err.log();
// will log the cause, the original provided message and `interestingData`
err.toPayload();
/*
{
"code": "INTERNAL",
"message": "Internal Server Error"
}
*/
