SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps in standardizing and converting errors that occur during API request handling, ensuring consistent error responses across different services.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Exception Mapping: Define how internal exceptions map to standardized API error formats.
  • Error Normalization: Convert various error types into a common structure for easier client-side handling.
  • Use Case: When a database error occurs in your backend, this Skill can translate it into a user-friendly 404 Not Found or 500 Internal Server Error response, preventing raw database errors from leaking to the client.

Quick Start

Use the spikard-error-handling skill to map a database connection error to a 503 service unavailable response.

FAQPage Schema
How do I map internal application exceptions to standardized API error responses?

By defining custom exception mappings, you can convert internal application exceptions into standardized API error responses, preventing raw errors like database failures from leaking to the client.

What is the best way to normalize backend service errors for consistent API responses?

Error normalization converts various internal error types into a common structure, ensuring consistent API responses across different services and preventing raw internal errors from leaking to the client.

Can I translate a database connection error into a 503 service unavailable API response?

Yes, you can map a database connection error to a 503 service unavailable response by defining a custom exception mapping that translates the internal database failure into that standardized API error.

How do I prevent raw database errors from leaking to the API client?

You prevent raw database errors from leaking to the API client by using exception mapping to intercept internal application exceptions and translate them into user-friendly HTTP responses like 404 Not Found or 500 Internal Server Error.

Does this exception mapping approach work for custom error scenarios in API services?

Yes, the exception mapping approach supports defining custom mappings for various error scenarios, allowing you to standardize how specific internal application exceptions convert into API error responses.
