Usage

const expressHttp = require("express-http-codes");

/////////////////////////////////////////////
// In 1 step:
const express = expressHttp(require("express"));
// Alternatively, in 2 steps:
const express = require("express");
expressHttp(express);
/////////////////////////////////////////////

const app = express();

app.get("/success", (rq, rs) => rs.httpSuccess({ message: "This is a success" }, 200));
/* 

--- Returns: ---

{ 
	success: true, 
	code: 200,
	status: "OK",
	message: "This is a success"
}

*/
app.get("/error/404", (rq, rs) => rs.httpError({ message: "This is an error" }, 404));
/* 

--- Returns: ---

{ 
	error: true, 
	code: 404,
	status: "Not found",
	message: "This is an error"
}

*/
app.get("/error/custom", (rq, rs) => rs.httpError({ message: "This is an error" }, 901));
/* 

--- Returns: ---

{ 
	error: true, 
	code: 901,
	status: "Custom error",
	message: "This is an error"
}

*/
const server = app.listen(8080, () => console.log("Server listening."));

By default, if you use httpSuccess({...}) without code, it will respond a 200: OK.

By default, if you use httpError({...}) without code, it will respond a 400: Bad request.
