Fastify Error Handler

This error handler package's goal is to standardize the management of the errors across Fastify services.

How to use it

To use this package 2 steps are needed:

• install the package with

npm i @ogcio/fastify-error-handler

• use the initializeErrorHandler(server) method to set the error handlers for the fastify server

That's it!

How to raise errors

To standardize error handling in the Fastify services, the suggested way to go is to raise exceptions by using the HttpError errors from the fastify-sensible package.

It exposes some predefined error types

import { httpErrors } from "@fastify/sensible";
......
// predefined error
throw httpErrors.notFound("Route not found");

// custom error
throw httpErrors.createError(404, "message", {additional: {data: "here"}});

The error-handler package is ready to manage the errors, log them and transform them in the output HTTP error you need.
