http-errors
Create HTTP errors for Express, Koa, Connect, etc. with ease.
Install
This is a Node.js module available through the
npm registry. Installation is done using the
npm install
command:
$ npm install http-errors
Example
var createError = require('http-errors')
var express = require('express')
var app = express()
app.use(function (req, res, next) {
if (!req.user) return next(createError(401, 'Please login to view this page.'))
next()
})
API
This is the current API, currently extracted from Koa and subject to change.
Error Properties
expose
- can be used to signal ifmessage
should be sent to the client, defaulting tofalse
whenstatus
>= 500headers
- can be an object of header names to values to be sent to the client, defaulting toundefined
. When defined, the key names should all be lower-casedmessage
- the traditional error message, which should be kept short and all single linestatus
- the status code of the error, mirroringstatusCode
for general compatibilitystatusCode
- the status code of the error, defaulting to500
createError([status], [message], [properties])
Create a new error object with the given message msg
.
The error object inherits from createError.HttpError
.
var err = createError(404, 'This video does not exist!')
status: 500
- the status code as a numbermessage
- the message of the error, defaulting to node's text for that status code.properties
- custom properties to attach to the object
createError([status], [error], [properties])
Extend the given error
object with createError.HttpError
properties. This will not alter the inheritance of the given
error
object, and the modified error
object is the
return value.
fs.readFile('foo.txt', function (err, buf) {
if (err) {
if (err.code === 'ENOENT') {
var httpError = createError(404, err, { expose: false })
} else {
var httpError = createError(500, err)
}
}
})
status
- the status code as a numbererror
- the error object to extendproperties
- custom properties to attach to the object
createError.isHttpError(val)
Determine if the provided val
is an HttpError
. This will return true
if the error inherits from the HttpError
constructor of this module or
matches the "duck type" for an error this module creates. All outputs from
the createError
factory will return true
for this function, including
if an non-HttpError
was passed into the factory.
new createError[code || name]([msg]))
Create a new error object with the given message msg
.
The error object inherits from createError.HttpError
.
var err = new createError.NotFound()
code
- the status code as a numbername
- the name of the error as a "bumpy case", i.e.NotFound
orInternalServerError
.
