Express errors

Available in NPM npm install express-errors

Provides easy access to common http errors for express e.g.

• 400 - Bad request
• 401 - Unathorized
• 403 - Forbidden
• 404 - NotFound
• 500 - Internal server error

---

Example

You need create views/errors directory and add 401,403,404 error views.

    var errors = require('express-errors');

    errors.bind(app, { layout: false });
    
    app.get('/400', function(req, res, next){
      next(errors.BadRequest); // You will get "bad request" error
    });

    app.get('/500', function(req, res, next){
      next(new Error('Something went wrong :(')); // You will get "Internal server error" error
    })

Defining an error

Yeah, you can. Use .define method:

    errors.define({
      name: 'BadRequest', // You will be able to access it throught `errors.BadRequest` in future
      message: 'Bad request', // This message for XHR requests
      status: 400 // HTTP status
    });

TODO

• Bundled views
• More options
