Throwable HTTP errors
Throwable HTTP errors for node APIs.
Installation
npm i throwable-http-errors
Usage
const Errors = require('throwable-http-errors')
// for example, using express.js
router.post('/', wrap(async (req, res, next) => {
try {
if (!validatePet(req.body)) {
throw new Errors.BadRequest()
}
const pet = await PetsController.create(req.body)
res.send({ status: true, data: pet })
} catch (e) {
return next(e)
}
}))
Reason
Before async/await, I was used to send errors to the main error catching middleware just by running
return next(new Errors.BadRequest())
Now, with async/await we can leverage try/catch blocks to handle errors. While I'm not quite happy with having try/catch blocks in every route, having await for promises improves code readablity (and quality in my opinion) a lot.
