Usage

> See also the API Reference
>
> Avocat is intended for use with hapi v19+, nodejs v12+, and Objection v2 or v3 (_see v1 for lower support_).

Avocat provides a single utility function [Avocat.rethrow(error, [options])](API.md#avocatrethrowerror-options) which transforms database errors from Objection into Boom HTTP errors that are compatible with hapi.

`js
'use strict';

const Hapi = require('@hapi/hapi');
const Avocat = require('@hapipal/avocat');
const User = require('./user-model'); // An Objection model bound to a knex instance

const server = Hapi.server();

server.route({
method: 'get',
path: '/users/{id}',
handler(request) {

try {
return await User.query()
.findById(request.params.id)
.throwIfNotFound();
}
catch (err) {
Avocat.rethrow(err); // Throws a 404 Not Found if user does not exist
throw err;
}
}
});
``

Extras

The interface for Avocat is heavily inspired by Bounce.
