AdonisJs Generic Exceptions 🚀

Customized exceptions for AdonisJs

This repo contains some helpful classes to throw uniform exceptions through out the application. Ofcourse you can throw exceptions using new Error() but using this package will help in throwing informative exceptions.

Setup

Install package using npm.

npm i @adonisjs/generic-exceptions

Usage

The package exports 4 different exceptions, defined as follows.

const { InvalidArgumentException } = require('@adonisjs/generic-exceptions')

const message = 'Model.create requires an object'
const status = 400
const code = 'E_INVALID_ARGUMENT'

throw new InvalidArgumentException(message, status, code)

The status must be a valid HTTP status code and code is a unique error code to recognize an exception. AdonisJs error codes starts with E_, for example: E_MISSING_CONFIG.

Available exceptions

const GE = require('@adonisjs/generic-exceptions')

new GE.InvalidArgumentException()
new GE.RuntimeException()
new GE.HttpException()
new GE.LogicalException()

Static methods

For commonly thrown exceptions, AdonisJs provides you a handful of static methods, so that you don't have to remember the error codes for those exceptions.

missingParamter(method, parameterName, position)

const { InvalidArgumentException } = require('@adonisjs/generic-exceptions')

throw InvalidArgumentException.missingParameter('model.create', 'payload', '1st')

Output

// Missing parameter payload expected by model.create method as 1st parameter

As you can see it returns a properly formatted error message by using the input values. This way we can keep all the exception messages to have same language.

invalidParameter(errorMessage, [originalValue])

throw InvalidArgumentException.invalidParameter('username must be a string', originalValue)

Output

// username must be a string instead received null

missingConfig(key, file)

Thrown when value for a given key inside configuration file is missing.

const { RuntimeException } = require('@adonisjs/generic-exceptions')

throw RuntimeException.missingConfig('mysql', 'config/database.js')

Output

mysql is not defined inside config/database.js file

missingAppKey(providerName)

Thrown when value for appKey is not defined.

throw RuntimeException.missingAppKey('Redis')

Output

Make sure to define appKey inside config/app.js file before using Redis provider

incompleteConfig(missingKeys, file)

Raised when config file and value exists, but is not complete.

const { RuntimeException } = require('@adonisjs/generic-exceptions')

throw RuntimeException.incompleteConfig(['mysql.username', 'mysql.database'], 'config/database.js')

Output

Make sure to define mysql.username, mysql.database inside config/database.js file.

invoke(message, status, [code])

Same as creating a new instance, but the default error code is used automatically.

throw InvalidArgumentException.invoke('Custom message', 500)
throw RuntimeException.invoke('Custom message', 500)
