npm install errbotWhat sucks more than error handling in your Node application? Very few things, my friends. Introducing Errbot: a few lines of sentient code that help you correctly handle and display friendly error messages.
Errbot was developed by humans at Original Machine, for their social jukebox/music licensing app, Mixdown, so it's intended for use in applications that talk over HTTP. But it's easy to extend, so don't worry if you're using something else.
``
npm install errbot
`javascript
var errbot = require('errbot');
function errorThrower (err, done) {
if (err) return done(errbot.error(err));
done();
};
function notFoundThrower (err, done) {
if (err) return done(errbot.notFound(err));
done();
};

2. Don't change the API without notifying me. Breaking changes are totally fine, but we should establish a sane upgrade path first.
3. Document and test your changes.
