http-errors-middleware
Simple custom HTTP error handler middleware for REST APIS built on express framework. We recommend the usage of http-errors module, but this module should work properly with other custom errors as well.
Installation
npm install http-errors-middleware
Usage
The middleware can receive an option object as parameter.
Options:
- debug: Boolean value, defaults to
false
. if true, it'll log the error no terminal before send the response back.
Example of usage with an express app:
const createError = ;const errorHandler = ; app; app;
It'll send back a json to the client:
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
{
"error": {
"title": "Not Found",
"Name": "NotFoundError",
"message": "You shouldn't hit this route"
}
}
Example of usage with an express route and a mongoose query using promises:
app app;
It might output for example something like this:
HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
{
"error": {
"title": "Internal Server Error",
"name": "ClosedConnection",
"message": "Couldn't add those interests"
}
}
