Usage

The HttpError class extends Error and allows you to create a http error with a status, name and message:

import { HttpError } from '@valbo/http-errors';

const error = new Error(401, 'MissingCredentialsError', 'Missing Authorization header.');
console.log(`${error.status} ${error.name}: ${error.message}`);

"401 MissingCredentialsError: Missing Authorization header."

There is a subclass of HttpError for every standard HTTP error. The status and name are hardcoded, and they have a standard message that you can change:

import { NotFoundError, UnauthorizedError } from '@valbo/http-errors';

const notFound = new NotFoundError();
console.log(`${notFound.status} ${notFound.name}: ${notFound.message}`);

"404 NotFoundError: The resource could not be found."

const unauthorized = new UnauthorizedError('The token has expired.');
console.log(`${unauthorized.status} ${unauthorized.name}: ${unauthorized.message}`);

"401 UnauthorizedError: The token has expired."
