standard-http-error - npm Package Versions

Updates HTTP status codes and constants from Node v4:

Code | Old Name | New Name ------|-----------------------------------|--------- 302 | MOVED_TEMPORARILY | FOUND 408 | REQUEST_TIME_OUT | REQUEST_TIMEOUT 413 | REQUEST_ENTITY_TOO_LARGE | PAYLOAD_TOO_LARGE 414 | REQUEST_URI_TOO_LARGE | URI_TOO_LONG 416 | REQUESTED_RANGE_NOT_SATISFIABLE | RANGE_NOT_SATISFIABLE 504 | GATEWAY_TIME_OUT | GATEWAY_TIMEOUT

Restores status code names and constants to pre Node v4 times (Node v0.12) for backwards compatibility. Will release StandardHttpError.js v2 briefly with Node v4's names and constants.

Adds new status codes and constants from Node v4:

Code | Name ------|----- 208 | ALREADY_REPORTED 226 | IM_USED 421 | MISDIRECTED_REQUEST 508 | LOOP_DETECTED

Makes StandardHttpError inherit from StandardError so you could more easily differentiate between bugs (usually thrown as TypeError, SyntaxError et al.) from user-facing errors that you've intentionally thrown. If all of your custom errors inherit from StandardError (StandardError.js), this will come in handy.

var StandardError = require("standard-error")
var HttpError = require("standard-http-error")

function magic(n) {
  if (isNaN(n)) throw new TypeError("Bug! Should never be NaN!")
  if (n <= 0) throw new HttpError(422, "Think positively!")
  // ...
}

try { magic(42) }
catch (ex) {
  if (ex instanceof StandardError) console.error("Uh-oh: " + ex.message)
  else throw ex
}

Make sure your dependencies have been deduped (see npm dedupe) to ensure a single StandardError instance (needed for instanceof to work) across your whole app.
