Installation

The latest version is available at: https://www.npmjs.com/package/throwlhos

Use your favorite package manager to install. For instance:

  yarn add throwlhos

Basic Usage

import throwlhos from 'throwlhos'
import { Request, Response } from 'express'

class FooBarController {
  async index(request: Request, response: Response) {
    console.log(throwlhos.err_internalServerError())
    // IThrowlhos object
  }
}

Above code prompts the following output:

{
  code: 500,
  status: 'INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR',
  message: 'Internal Server Error'
} 

err_* methods accept two optional parameters:

message?: string | null
errors?: any

Returned throwlhos object type exaplained:

export type IThrowlhos = {
  code: number
  status: string
  message: string
  errors: any
}
  • code: Number value of HTTP Status Code

  • status: String value of HTTP Status Name

  • message: Message given at first parameter or HTTP Status Name human-readable if none or null is given.

  • errors: Anything given as the second parameter. It's undefined if no value is given.

Throwlhos as an express middleware

You can use throwlhos as an express middleware:

app.use(throwlhos.middlware)

Since throwlhos overwrites Express interface, you can find throwlhos err_* methods directly in express response!

Consider the following code which is an express middlware:

import throwlhos from 'throwlhos'
import { Request, Response } from 'express'

class FooBarController {
  async index(request: Request, response: Response) {
    const throwlhos = response.err_internalServerError()
    return response.status(throwlhos.code).send(throwlhos)
  }
}

Outputs:

HTTP/1.1 500 INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR
X-Powered-By: Express
errors-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
{
  code: 500,
  status: 'INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR',
  message: 'Internal Server Error'
} 

Usage with an express Error Handler (recommended)

If you want to quickly send an error response with your throwlhos use it with responserror.

Responserror handler will catch-all errors from any express middleware router in-between by using next(err) .

Full example:

  import throwlhos from 'throwlhos'
  import errorHandler from 'responserror'
  const app = express()
  const router = express.Router()
  router.post('/resources', (_, response: Response, next: NextFunction) => {
    try {
      throw response.err_forbidden('Access denied.. Sorry')
    } catch(err) {
      return next(err)
    }
  })
  app.use(throwlhos.middlware)
  app.use(router)
  app.use(errorHandler)

POST /resources outputs:

HTTP/1.1 403 FORBIDDEN
X-Powered-By: Express
errors-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
{
  code: 403,
  status: 'FORBIDDEN',
  message: 'Access denied.. Sorry',
  success: false
}
