TypeScript definitions for http-errors
The @types/http-errors package provides TypeScript type definitions for the http-errors package, which is used to create HTTP error objects. These type definitions allow TypeScript developers to use the http-errors package in a type-safe manner, ensuring that they are using the correct types for the various functions and constructors provided by http-errors.
Creating HTTP Error Objects
This feature allows developers to create HTTP error objects with a status code and message. The example demonstrates creating a 404 Not Found error.
import createError from 'http-errors';
const NotFoundError = createError(404, 'This page does not exist.');
console.log(NotFoundError.status); // 404
console.log(NotFoundError.message); // 'This page does not exist.'
Type Checking for HTTP Error Objects
This feature provides type definitions for handling HTTP errors in a type-safe way. The example shows a function that accepts an HttpError object, demonstrating the use of TypeScript for type checking.
import createError, { HttpError } from 'http-errors';
function handleError(error: HttpError) {
console.log(error.status);
console.log(error.message);
}
const myError = createError(500, 'Internal Server Error');
handleError(myError);
This is the JavaScript library that @types/http-errors provides TypeScript definitions for. It allows for the creation of HTTP error objects but does not include built-in type definitions.
Boom provides a set of utilities for returning HTTP errors. Each utility returns a Boom error response object (including status code and message), similar to http-errors but with more features like payload formatting.
