SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Standardize error handling across applications by providing a unified taxonomy of errors, middleware, and safe client messages, improving debuggability and user experience.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Custom error classes (AppError, ValidationError, NotFoundError, UnauthorizedError, ForbiddenError) for consistent error semantics.
  • Error handler middleware for centralized responses and structured logging.
  • Structured logging with context to enable effective monitoring and tracing.
  • Safe client messages that avoid leaking internal details.
  • Async error handling helpers to wrap routes and avoid unhandled rejections.
  • Best practices and battle-tested patterns for production-grade reliability.

Quick Start

Configure your application to replace ad-hoc error handling with the provided error classes and middleware.

FAQPage Schema
How do I standardize error handling across APIs and microservices?

Standardize error handling across APIs and microservices by implementing a unified error taxonomy, custom error classes, and centralized middleware. This ensures consistent error codes and structured logging for effective monitoring and tracing across distributed services.

What is the best way to prevent internal details from leaking in API error responses?

Prevent internal detail leaks in API error responses by using safe client messages. This approach separates internal structured logging from external responses, ensuring clients receive user-friendly messages without exposing sensitive stack traces or internal state information.

How do I handle async errors in API middleware to avoid unhandled rejections?

Handle async errors in API middleware by using async error handling helpers to wrap routes. This prevents unhandled promise rejections by catching asynchronous errors and passing them directly to the centralized error handler middleware for consistent processing.

When do I need custom error classes for API validation and authorization?

Use custom error classes for API validation and authorization when you require consistent error semantics. Implementing classes like ValidationError, UnauthorizedError, and NotFoundError standardizes error identification across your application and streamlines centralized middleware routing.

Does centralized error handler middleware work for microservice logging?

Centralized error handler middleware works effectively for microservice logging. It captures application errors globally, applies structured logging with context for tracing, and returns safe client messages, ensuring reliable production-grade monitoring across your architecture.
