@meanie/express-error-handling

Error handlers and middleware for use in Express or Meanie Express Seed projects

🚨 DEPRECATED 🚨

This package is deprecated and no longer maintained. It is recommended to generate your own custom error handling middleware stack going forward. You are welcome to copy the error handlers from this package and embed them into your own projects.

Installation

You can install this package using yarn or npm.

#yarn
yarn add @meanie/express-error-handling

#npm
npm install @meanie/express-error-handling --save

Configuration

//Load library
const errors = require('@meanie/express-error-handling');

//Define some custom middleware
const myHandler = function(error, req, res, next) { ... };

//Register it with the error handler
errors.register('my-handler', myHandler);

//Specify default middleware stack to use
errors.use([
  'normalize', 'track-with-sentry', 'my-handler', 'log-to-console',
]);

Usage

Load stack of pre-registered error handling middleware:

const stack = errors.middleware();

Use it as express middleware:

stack.forEach(handler => app.use(handler));

Run an error through error handling middleware stack:

someRoute(req, res, next) {
  doSomething()
    .then(() => {

      //End response
      res.end();

      //Do something else async which won't be part of the request
      //error handling stack, but catch and process the errors anyway.
      doSomethingElse()
        .catch(error => errors.handler(error, req));
    })
    .catch(next);
}
