FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce consistent error handling conventions for backend API routes?

You can enforce backend API error handling by wrapping all new and modified API handlers with a `withErrorHandling` utility, ensuring exceptions are managed gracefully and preventing server crashes.

What is the standard pattern for integrating utility functions into backend TypeScript APIs?

The standard pattern for backend TypeScript APIs involves routing dependencies through library utilities, ensuring new API endpoints automatically integrate with project-specific conventions like error handling wrappers to maintain robust code.

How do I wrap an API handler function to prevent unhandled exceptions in TypeScript?

To prevent unhandled exceptions in TypeScript, wrap your API handler function using the `withErrorHandling` wrapper imported from `@/lib/api-error-handler`, which manages errors gracefully across all endpoints.

Does this backend coding convention apply to both new and modified library utilities?

Yes, these backend coding conventions apply to all new and modified backend code, ensuring that both API routes and library utilities adhere to project-specific patterns for robust error management.

Why should I use an error handling wrapper for backend API endpoints?

You should use an error handling wrapper for backend API endpoints because it automatically manages exceptions gracefully, preventing unhandled errors from crashing the server and ensuring maintainable code patterns.

Can I use this Skill to manage dependencies for backend library utilities?

Yes, this Skill guides the use of utility functions and libraries, applying backend conventions to dependency management and ensuring library utilities integrate correctly with error handling middleware.
