System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

The Skill standardizes error responses for PHP REST APIs, ensuring consistent JSON envelopes and user-friendly messages across endpoints, validations, and backend failures.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Standardized response envelope with machine-readable error codes and human-friendly messages.
  • Extracts precise error messages from PDOException variants and maps them to user-facing messages.
  • Robust HTTP status code mapping for validation, authentication, authorization, conflicts, and server issues.
  • Centralized logging with request IDs and secure production behavior (no stack traces).
  • Easy frontend integration with SweetAlert2-ready error payloads and front-end helper patterns.

Quick Start

Create a PHP REST endpoint that uses ApiResponse and ExceptionHandler to return structured JSON errors for validation, authentication, and server failures.
