> Supercharge Fastify error handling! Streamline definitions, automate schemas, and boost productivity with built-in HTTP errors and robust TypeScript support. Make errors work for you!

!Tests

Background

This plugin simplifies how to define and use errors in Fastify. It provides a way to create custom errors with specific status codes and messages, and to automatically generate response schemas for these errors.

Additionally, it includes a comprehensive set of predefined HTTP errors and provides robust TypeScript support with enhanced IntelliSense capabilities. This combination allows for more efficient error handling and improved developer experience through better code completion and type checking.

Install

``bash
$ npm install fastify-better-error
`

Usage

Using JavaScript with JSDoc:

`js
/**
* @import { BetterErrorPlugin } from 'fastify-better-error'
*/

import fastify from 'fastify'
import betterErrorPlugin, { createError } from 'fastify-better-error'

const CUSTOM_ERRORS = {
WrongCredentialsError: createError(401, 'WRONG_CREDENTIALS', 'Wrong credentials: %s'),
}

const baseApp = fastify()

// By doing this, we are telling TypeScript that app has all the
// properties of baseApp plus the ones defined in BetterErrorPlugin.
const app = /* @type {typeof baseApp & BetterErrorPlugin} /(baseApp)

await app.register(betterErrorPlugin, {
errors: CUSTOM_ERRORS,
})

app.get('/', {
schema: {
response: {
// it will automatically generate the 401 and 404 status code for this error
...app.useErrors([
'WrongCredentialsError',
'NotFoundError',
]),
},
},
}, (req) => {
if (!(req.token)) {
throw new app.errors.WrongCredentialsError('missing token')
}

if (!(req.user)) {
throw new app.errors.NotFoundError('user not found')
}

return {}
})
`

Using TypeScript:

`ts
import fastify from 'fastify'
import betterErrorPlugin, { type BetterErrorPlugin, createError } from 'fastify-better-error'

const CUSTOM_ERRORS = {
WrongCredentialsError: createError(401, 'WRONG_CREDENTIALS', 'Wrong credentials: %s'),
}

const baseApp = fastify()

const app = baseApp as typeof baseApp & BetterErrorPlugin

await app.register(betterErrorPlugin, {
errors: CUSTOM_ERRORS,
})

app.get('/', {
schema: {
response: {
// it will automatically generate the 401 and 404 status code for this error
...app.useErrors([
'WrongCredentialsError',
'NotFoundError',
]),
},
},
}, (req) => {
if (!(req.token)) {
throw new app.errors.WrongCredentialsError('missing token')
}

if (!(req.user)) {
throw new app.errors.NotFoundError('user not found')
}

return {}
})
