SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

LivestockAI uses a structured AppError class for consistent error handling across the application.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • AppError Class: a central error type that carries codes and metadata to unify error handling.
  • Error Codes & Serialization: standardized codes, HTTP mappings, and JSON serialization for client consistency.
  • Error Handling Patterns: recommended try/catch patterns and guards to recover gracefully.

Quick Start

Integrate AppError into your server codebase and throw standardized errors with codes and metadata.

FAQPage Schema
How do I standardize server-side error handling in a TypeScript backend?

Map HTTP status codes to standardized error types by using a central AppError class. This approach enforces structured error codes and metadata, ensuring client-facing consistency during JSON serialization across multi-layer server code.

What is the best way to serialize backend validation errors for API clients?

The best way to serialize backend validation errors is through JSON serialization with standardized error codes. Using a central error type ensures that validation failures carry descriptive metadata for client-facing consistency.

How do I gracefully recover from server errors using try/catch patterns?

Recover gracefully from server errors by applying recommended try/catch patterns and guards. These patterns leverage a structured error type to safely propagate failures and maintain consistent error handling across multi-layer server code.

Why does my backend need a centralized AppError class for error handling?

Your backend needs a centralized AppError class for error handling to solve the problem of inconsistent error management. It provides a unified error type that carries codes and metadata, enforcing structured and reliable error propagation.
