An error handler for JSON APIs, meant to be used with [http-errors](https://github.com/jshttp/http-errors)-style errors.

## Example

```js

var errorHandler = require('api-error-handler');

var api = new express.Router();

api.get('/users/:userid', function (req, res, next) {

});

api.use(errorHandler());

app.use('/api', api);

```

## API

### .use(errorHandler([options]))

Currently no options.

### Errors

4xx errors are exposed to the client.

Properties exposed are:

- `message`

- `type`

- `name`

- `code`

- `status`

5xx errors are not exposed to the client.

Instead, they are given a generic `message` as well as the `type`.
