[`modern-errors`](https://github.com/ehmicky/modern-errors)
[plugin](https://github.com/ehmicky/modern-errors#-plugins) to create HTTP error
responses.

This adds [`BaseError.httpResponse(error)`](#baseerrorhttpresponseerror) which
converts `error` to a plain object
([RFC 7807](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7807), "problem details") to use
in an HTTP response.

# Hire me

Please
[reach out](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7117265228068716545/)
if you're looking for a Node.js API or CLI engineer (11 years of experience).
Most recently I have been [Netlify Build](https://github.com/netlify/build)'s
and [Netlify Plugins](https://www.netlify.com/products/build/plugins/)'
technical lead for 2.5 years. I am available for full-time remote positions.

# Example

[Adding the plugin](https://github.com/ehmicky/modern-errors#adding-plugins) to
[`modern-errors`](https://github.com/ehmicky/modern-errors).

```js
import ModernError from 'modern-errors'

import modernErrorsHttp from 'modern-errors-http'

export const BaseError = ModernError.subclass('BaseError', {
plugins: [modernErrorsHttp],
})
```

[Configuring](#configuration) error fields.

```js
export const AuthError = BaseError.subclass('AuthError', {
http: {
type: 'https://example.com/probs/auth',
status: 401,
},
})
```

[Creating](#baseerrorhttpresponseerror) an HTTP error response.

```js
const error = new AuthError('Could not authenticate.', {
http: {
instance: '/users/62',
extra: { userId: 62 },
},
})
const object = BaseError.httpResponse(error)
// {
// type: 'https://example.com/probs/auth',
// status: 401,
// title: 'AuthError',
// detail: 'Could not authenticate.',
// instance: '/users/62',
// stack: `AuthError: Could not authenticate.
// at ...`,
// extra: { userId: 62 },
// }
```

# Install

```bash
npm install modern-errors-http
```

This package works in both Node.js >=18.18.0 and
[browsers](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ehmicky/dev-tasks/main/src/browserslist).

This is an ES module. It must be loaded using
[an `import` or `import()` statement](https://gist.github.com/sindresorhus/a39789f98801d908bbc7ff3ecc99d99c),
not `require()`. If TypeScript is used, it must be configured to
[output ES modules](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/esm-node.html),
not CommonJS.

# API

## modernErrorsHttp

_Type_: `Plugin`

Plugin object to pass to the
[`plugins` option](https://github.com/ehmicky/modern-errors#adding-plugins) of
`ErrorClass.subclass()`.

## BaseError.httpResponse(error)

`error`: `Error`\
_Return value_: `HttpResponse`

Converts `error` to a plain object to use in an HTTP response. Its shape follows
[RFC 7807](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7807) ("problem details").

## Options

_Type_: `object`

### type

_Type_: `urlString`\
_Default_: `undefined`

URI identifying and documenting the error class. Ideally, each error class
[should set one](#configuration).

### status

_Type_: `integer`\
_Default_: `undefined`

HTTP status code.

### title

_Type_: `string`\
_Default_: `error.name`

Error class name.

### detail

_Type_: `string`\
_Default_: `error.message`

Error description.

### instance

_Type_: `urlString`\
_Default_: `undefined`

URI identifying the value which errored.

### stack

_Type_: `string`\
_Default_: `error.stack`

Error stack trace. Can be set to an empty string.

### extra

_Type_: `object`\
_Default_: any additional `error` properties

Additional information. This is always
[safe to serialize as JSON](https://github.com/ehmicky/safe-json-value). Can be
set to an empty object.

## Configuration

[Options](#options) can apply to (in priority order):

- Any error: second argument to
[`ModernError.subclass()`](https://github.com/ehmicky/modern-errors#options-1)

```js
export const BaseError = ModernError.subclass('BaseError', {
plugins: [modernErrorsHttp],
http: options,
})
```

- Any error of a specific class (and its subclasses): second argument to
[`ErrorClass.subclass()`](https://github.com/ehmicky/modern-errors#options-1)

```js
export const AuthError = BaseError.subclass('AuthError', { http: options })
```

- A specific error: second argument to
[`new ErrorClass()`](https://github.com/ehmicky/modern-errors#options-3)

```js
throw new AuthError('...', { http: options })
```

- A specific [`BaseError.httpResponse(error)`](#baseerrorhttpresponseerror) call

```js
BaseError.httpResponse(error, options)
```
