A set of common REST exceptions to be used in conjunction with @jordanforeman/api-framework.

Usage

When something goes wrong in your application, choose which error to throw, and do so. Below is an example of throwing a 404 Not Found exception:

import {NotFoundException} from '@jordanforeman/rest-exceptions';

function getTheThing(id) {
    try {
        const myThing = await repository.getTheThingById(id);

        return myThing;
    } catch (e) {
        throw new NotFoundException();
    }
}

...and with a custom error message

import {NotFoundException} from '@jordanforeman/rest-exceptions';

function getTheThing(id) {
    try {
        const myThing = await repository.getTheThingById(id);

        return myThing;
    } catch (e) {
        throw new NotFoundException('Could not find the thing you were looking for!');
    }
}
