This is a collection of subclassed JavaScript Error objects, so it can be used whenever a plain Error object is used. More specifically, pass an instance of this error to the app middleware whenever a HTTP error response needs to be surfaced.
In addition to the default Error.name and Error.message properties, it comes with:
Error.code: The HTTP status code of the error responseError.fields: Experimental This attaches the bad fields in REST API responses. Defaults to{}.
When using promises, you can throw these errors directly to have the error handled in the subsequent then/catch/fail handler.
// Some page controller middleware
var HttpErrors = require('http-errors');
module.exports = function (req, res, next) {
api.findEventById(req.params.id, function (err, event) {
// Next error middleware will output the error page with HTTP 404
if (err) {
return next(new HttpErrors.ResourceNotFound('Event not found'));
}
res.render(...);
});
}
// Error middleware
function (req, res, next, err) {
res.render('error', {
title: 'Error Page',
status: err.code, // This is how you use `Error.code`
message: err.message // Or the error message if you want
...
});
