# NAME

JSON::API::Error - JSON API-style error objects

# SYNOPSIS

    use JSON::API::Error;

    use Mojo::JSON qw/encode_json/;

    # A JSON API error representing bad submission data

    my $err = JSON::API::Error->new({

        source => {pointer => '/forename'},

        status => '400',

        title  => 'Field required',

    });

    # Field required

    say $err->title;

    # /forename: Field required

    say "$err";

    # {

    #   "source": {

    #     "pointer": "/forename"

    #   },

    #   "status": "400",

    #   "title": "Field required"

    # }

    say encode_json $err;

    say encode_json $err->TO_JSON;

    # A JSON API error representing a missing resource

    my $err = JSON::API::Error->new({

        status => '404',

        title  => 'Not Found',

    });

    # {

    #   "status": "404",

    #   "title": "Not Found"

    # }

    say encode_json $err;

    say encode_json $err->TO_JSON;

# DESCRIPTION

[JSON::API::Error](https://metacpan.org/pod/JSON::API::Error) provides a [JSON API error object](http://jsonapi.org/format/#error-objects).

It is intended to provide a consistent error interface that can be digested by

front and backend software.

The front end will receive an `ARRAY` of these objects when there is an error.

It should contain enough information to be able to add custom errors to specific

form elements.

# ATTRIBUTES

[JSON::API::Error](https://metacpan.org/pod/JSON::API::Error) implements the following attributes.

## code

An application-specific error code, expressed as a string value.

## detail

A human-readable explanation specific to this occurrence of the problem. Like

`title`, this field's value can be localized.

## id

A unique identifier for this particular occurrence of the problem.

## links

A [links object](http://jsonapi.org/format/#document-links) containing the

following members:

**about**: a link that leads to further details about this particular occurrence

of the problem.

## meta

    my $err = JSON::API::Error->new(

        {

            meta => {

                length => 5,

                detail => "Field length is 5, should be at least 30"

            },

            source => {pointer => "/forename"},

            status => '400',

            title  => "Field length",

        }

    );

A meta object containing non-standard meta-information about the error. Can be

used to include more detail about the error.

## source

An object containing references to the source of the error, optionally including

any of the following members:

**pointer**: a JSON Pointer \[RFC6901\] to the associated entity in the request

document \[e.g. "/data" for a primary data object, or "/data/attributes/title"

for a specific attribute\].

**parameter**: a string indicating which URI query parameter caused the error.

## status

The HTTP status code applicable to this problem, expressed as a string value.

## title

A short, human-readable summary of the problem that SHOULD NOT change from

occurrence to occurrence of the problem, except for purposes of localization.

# METHODS

[JSON::API::Error](https://metacpan.org/pod/JSON::API::Error) implements the following methods.

## TO\_JSON

Returns the object instance as a `HASH` reference, suitable for encoding to

`JSON`.

# OPERATORS

[JSON::API::Error](https://metacpan.org/pod/JSON::API::Error) overloads the following operators.

## bool

    my $bool = !!$err;

Always true.

## stringify

    my $str = "$err";

Alias for `to_string`.
