Throwing an exception:
var CodedError = require('coded-error')
get('http://url').then(data => {
throw new CodedError(403, 'Access Denied');
}).catch(e => {
// handle error here
});
Checking whether an exception has a specific code:
get('http://url').then(data => {
throw new CodedError(403, 'Access Denied');
}).catch(e => {
if (CodedError.is(403)) {
// do specific things here
}
throw e;
});
Or this can be automatically done for you, using Bluebird's catch:
get('http://url').then(data => {
throw new CodedError(403, 'Access Denied');
}).catch(CodedError.only(403), e_for_oh_three => {
// handle 403 case
}).catch(e => {
// all other exceptions go here
})
