|
|
Development-only error handler middleware.
|
|
|
|
This middleware is only intended to be used in a development environment, as
|
|
the _full error stack traces and internal details of any object passed to this
|
|
module_ will be sent back to the client when an error occurs.
|
|
|
|
When an object is provided to Express as an error, this module will display
|
|
as much about this object as possible, and will do so by using content negotiation
|
|
for the response between HTML, JSON, and plain text.
|
|
|
|
* When the object is a standard `Error` object, the string provided by the
|
|
`stack` property will be returned in HTML/text responses.
|
|
* When the object is a non-`Error` object, the result of
|
|
[util.inspect](https://nodejs.org/api/util.html#util_util_inspect_object_options)
|
|
will be returned in HTML/text responses.
|
|
* For JSON responses, the result will be an object with all enumerable properties
|
|
from the object in the response.
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ npm install errorhandler
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## API
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var errorhandler = require('errorhandler')
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### errorhandler(options)
|
|
|
|
Create new middleware to handle errors and respond with content negotiation.
|
|
|
|
#### Options
|
|
|
|
Error handler accepts these properties in the options object.
|
|
|
|
##### log
|
|
|
|
Provide a function to be called with the error and a string representation of
|
|
the error. Can be used to write the error to any desired location, or set to
|
|
`false` to only send the error back in the response. Called as
|
|
`log(err, str, req, res)` where `err` is the `Error` object, `str` is a string
|
|
representation of the error, `req` is the request object and `res` is the
|
|
response object (note, this function is invoked _after_ the response has been
|
|
written).
|
|
|
|
The default value for this option is `true` unless `process.env.NODE_ENV === 'test'`.
|
|
|
|
Possible values:
|
|
|
|
* `true`: Log errors using `console.error(str)`.
|
|
* `false`: Only send the error back in the response.
|
|
* A function: pass the error to a function for handling.
|
|

|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
### Simple example
|
|
|
|
Basic example of adding this middleware as the error handler only in development
|
|
with `connect` (`express` also can be used in this example).
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var connect = require('connect')
|
|
var errorhandler = require('errorhandler')
|
|
|
|
var app = connect()
|
|
|
|
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
|
|
// only use in development
|
|
app.use(errorhandler())
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Custom output location
|
|
|
|
Sometimes you may want to output the errors to a different location than STDERR
|
|
during development, like a system notification, for example.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var connect = require('connect')
|
|
var errorhandler = require('errorhandler')
|
|
var notifier = require('node-notifier')
|
|
|
|
var app = connect()
|
|
|
|
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
|
|
// only use in development
|
|
app.use(errorhandler({log: errorNotification}))
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
function errorNotification(err, str, req) {
|
|
var title = 'Error in ' + req.method + ' ' + req.url
|
|
|
|
notifier.notify({
|
|
title: title,
|
|
message: str
|
|
})
|
|
}
|
|
```
