http-error-handler

Middy http-error-handler middleware

HTTP error handler middleware for the middy framework, the stylish Node.js middleware engine for AWS Lambda

Automatically handles uncaught errors that contain the properties statusCode (number) and message (string) and creates a proper HTTP response for them (using the message and the status code provided by the error object). We recommend generating these HTTP errors with the npm module http-errors.

This middleware should be set as the last error handler unless you also want to register the http-reponse-serializer. If so, this middleware should come second-last and the http-response-serializer should come last.

Install

To install this middleware you can use NPM:

npm install --save @middy/http-error-handler

Options

• logger (defaults to console.error) - a logging function that is invoked with the current error as an argument. You can pass false if you don't want the logging to happen.

Sample usage

const middy = require('@middy/core')
const httpErrorHandler = require('@middy/http-error-handler')

const handler = middy((event, context, cb) => {
  throw new createError.UnprocessableEntity()
})

handler
  .use(httpErrorHandler())

// when Lambda runs the handler...
handler({}, {}, (_, response) => {
  expect(response).toEqual({
    statusCode: 422,
    body: 'Unprocessable Entity'
  })
})
