res-error

This package adds a super flexible res.error() method to express that logs an error and sends the correct JSON response to the client

Installing

1. Run npm install res-error --save in your project directory
2. Apply it as middleware to your app (before the router):

var app = express(); app.use(require('res-error')); ... ````

Usage

The response object will now contain an error method which can be passed a code, message string, and/or error object.

app.get('/path', function(res, req){
 
    // something happens here that might set err
    
    if(err)
        return res.error(err);
    
    return res.send('There wasn\'t an error.');
});
 

It's very flexible. Here are more examples:

res.error(404);
 
res.error(err);
 
res.error(404, err);
 
res.error(404, 'Ooh, we couldn\'t find that.');
 
res.error(404, err, 'Ooh, we couldn\'t find that.');
 
res.error(404, {message: 'Ooh, we couldn\'t find that.', hidden: 'foo'});
 
res.error(404, {message: 'Masked message', hidden: 'foo'}, 'Ooh, we couldn\'t find that.');
 
res.error({code: 404, message: 'Ooh, we couldn\'t find that.', hidden: 'foo'});
 

Oh no, I found a bug!
