Socket researchers found several malicious npm packages typosquatting Chalk and Chokidar, targeting Node.js developers with kill switches and data theft.
Adds a super flexible res.error() method to express that logs an error and sends the correct JSON response to the client
#res-error
This package adds a super flexible res.error()
method to express that logs an error and sends the correct JSON response to the client
##Installing
npm install res-error --save
in your project directory
var app = express(); app.use(require('res-error')); ... ````
##Usage
The response object will now contain an error
method which can be passed a code, message string, and/or error object.
app.get('/path', function(res, req){
// something happens here that might set err
if(err)
return res.error(err);
return res.send('There wasn\'t an error.');
});
It's very flexible. Here are more examples:
res.error(404);
res.error(err);
res.error(404, err);
res.error(404, 'Ooh, we couldn\'t find that.');
res.error(404, err, 'Ooh, we couldn\'t find that.');
res.error(404, {message: 'Ooh, we couldn\'t find that.', hidden: 'foo'});
res.error(404, {message: 'Masked message', hidden: 'foo'}, 'Ooh, we couldn\'t find that.');
res.error({code: 404, message: 'Ooh, we couldn\'t find that.', hidden: 'foo'});
##Oh no, I found a bug!
Please submit an issue! :)
