# Throwable HTTP errors

Throwable HTTP errors for node APIs.

## Installation

```bash

npm i throwable-http-errors

```

## Usage

```javascript

const Errors = require('throwable-http-errors')

// for example, using express.js

router.post('/', wrap(async (req, res, next) => {

  try {

    if (!validatePet(req.body)) {

      throw new Errors.BadRequest()

    }

    const pet = await PetsController.create(req.body)

    res.send({ status: true, data: pet })

  } catch (e) {

    return next(e)

  }

}))

```

## Reason

Before async/await, I was used to send errors to the main error catching middleware just by running

```javascript

return next(new Errors.BadRequest())

```

Now, with async/await we can leverage try/catch blocks to handle errors. While I'm not quite happy with having try/catch blocks in every route, having **await** for promises improves code readablity (and quality in my opinion) a lot.
