http-errors-middleware

Simple custom HTTP error handler middleware for REST APIS built on express framework.
We recommend the usage of http-errors module, but this module should work properly with other custom errors as well.

Installation

``
npm install http-errors-middleware
`

Usage

The middleware can receive an option object as parameter.

Options:

- debug: Boolean value, defaults to false. if true, it'll log the error no terminal before send the response back.

Example of usage with an express app:

`javascript
const createError = require('http-errors');
const errorHandler = require('http-errors-middleware');

app.get('/error', (req, res, next) => {
return next(createError(404, "You shouldn't hit this route"));
});

app.use(errorHandler({ debug: true }));

`
It'll send back a json to the client:

`
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
{
"error": {
"title": "Not Found",
"Name": "NotFoundError",
"message": "You shouldn't hit this route"
}
}
`
Example of usage with an express route and a mongoose query using promises:
`javascript
app.put('/user/:id/interests', (req, res, next) => {
User.update({ _id: req.params.id }, { $pushAll: { interests: req.body }})
.then((result) => {
if (result.ok === 1) {
return res.json({ success: true });
}
createError(500, "Couldn't add those interests");
})
.catch(next);
})

app.use(errorHandler);
`

It might output for example something like this:

`
HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
{
"error": {
"title": "Internal Server Error",
"name": "ClosedConnection",
"message": "Couldn't add those interests"
}
}
