GraphQL Errors

When an error occurs when processing GraphQL queries, graphql-js sends the complete error message to the client with the response. In most cases, sending error messages to the client without supervision is not recommended. The graphql-errors module fixes this issue by masking error messages sent to the client. This module intercepts GraphQL error messages and replaces them with "internal error".

`` javascript
var express = require('express');
var graphql = require('graphql');
var graphqlHTTP = require('express-graphql');
var maskErrors = require('graphql-errors').maskErrors;

var schema = new graphql.GraphQLSchema({
query: new graphql.GraphQLObjectType({
name: 'RootQueryType',
fields: {
test: {
type: graphql.GraphQLString,
resolve() {
throw new Error('secret error message');
},
},
},
}),
});

// mask error messages
maskErrors(schema);

var app = express();
app.use('/', graphqlHTTP({schema: schema}));
app.listen(3000);
`

To make error debugging easier, it logs the error on the server with the stack. The module can be activated on a schema using its processSchema` function.
