-----
**Ouch** is a NodeJS implementation of PHP's [Whoops](https://github.com/filp/whoops) library. It's not an exact port of
Whoops, but implements similar functionality and uses same front end resources in some of its error handlers. It is an
error handler base/framework for NodeJs. Out-of-the-box, it provides a pretty error interface that helps you debug your
web projects, but at heart it's a simple yet powerful stacked error handling system.
### Pretty page handler demo
[Blue theme](https://quorrajs.github.io/Ouch/demo/)
[Orange theme](https://quorrajs.github.io/Ouch/demo/orange.html)
## Installation
The source is available for download from [GitHub](https://github.com/quorrajs/Ouch). Alternatively, you
can install using Node Package Manager (npm):
```javascript
npm install ouch
```
## Usage examples
``` javascript
// With PrettyPageHandler
http.createServer(function nsjfkj(req, res){
if (req.url === '/favicon.ico') {
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'image/x-icon'} );
res.end();
return;
}
var d = domain.create();
d.on('error', function(e){
var ouchInstance = (new Ouch).pushHandler(
new Ouch.handlers.PrettyPageHandler('orange', null, 'sublime')
);
ouchInstance.handleException(e, req, res, function (output) {
console.log('Error handled properly')
});
});
d.run(function(){
// your application code goes here
});
}).listen('1338', 'localhost');
// With custom callback
var ouchInstance = (new Ouch).pushHandler(
function(next, exception, inspector, run, request, response){
// custom handler logic
next();
});
ouchInstance.handleException(e, req, res, function (output) {
console.log('Error handled properly')
});
```
For more options, have a look at the example files in examples to get a feel for how things work. Also take a look at the [API Documentation](http://ouch.readthedocs.org/en/latest/api-docs/) and the list of available handlers below.
### Available Handlers
**Ouch** currently ships with the following built-in handlers, available in the `require("ouch").handlers` namespace:
- [`PrettyPageHandler`](https://github.com/quorrajs/Ouch/blob/master/handler/PrettyPageHandler.js) - Shows a pretty error page when something goes pants-up
- [`JsonResponseHandler`](https://github.com/quorrajs/Ouch/blob/master/handler/JsonResponseHandler.js) - Process errors and returns information on them as a JSON string.
- [`CallbackHandler`](https://github.com/quorrajs/Ouch/blob/master/handler/CallbackHandler.js) - Wraps a callable as a handler. You do not need to use this handler explicitly, Ouch will automatically wrap any callable you pass to `ouchInstance.pushHandler`.
## Todo
- Add more handlers.
