Class: GenericError<T>

Defined in: packages/core/src/error/GenericError.ts:15

Implementation of the Error interface, providing more advanced error API.

Type Parameters​

T​

T = unknown

Constructors​

Constructor​

new GenericError<T>(message, params?): GenericError<T>

Defined in: packages/core/src/error/GenericError.ts:27

Initializes the generic IMA error.

Parameters​

message​

string

The message describing the cause of the error.

params?​

T & GenericErrorParams

A data map providing additional details related to the error. It is recommended to set the status field to the HTTP response code that should be sent to the client.

Returns​

GenericError<T>

Overrides​

Error.constructor

Properties​

_params​

protected _params: T & GenericErrorParams

stack?​

optional stack: string

Inherited from​

Error.stack

stackTraceLimit​

static stackTraceLimit: number

Defined in: node_modules/@types/node/globals.d.ts:68

The Error.stackTraceLimit property specifies the number of stack frames collected by a stack trace (whether generated by new Error().stack or Error.captureStackTrace(obj)).

The default value is 10 but may be set to any valid JavaScript number. Changes will affect any stack trace captured after the value has been changed.

If set to a non-number value, or set to a negative number, stack traces will not capture any frames.

Methods​

getHttpStatus()​

getHttpStatus(): number

Defined in: packages/core/src/error/GenericError.ts:39

Returns the HTTP status to send to the client.

If the error has occurred at the client-side, the status code is used to determine the error page to show to the user.

This method is a shorthand for the following code snippet: this.getParams().status || 500.

Returns​

number

The HTTP status to send to the client.

See​

http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html

Overrides​

Error.getHttpStatus

getParams()​

getParams(): T & GenericErrorParams

Defined in: packages/core/src/error/GenericError.ts:46

Returns the error parameters providing additional details about the error. The structure of the returned object is always situation-dependent, but the returned object usually contains the status: number field which represents the HTTP status to send to the client.

Returns​

T & GenericErrorParams

The route parameters of the route at which the error has occurred.

See​

Error#getHttpStatus

Overrides​

Error.getParams

isClientError()​

isClientError(): boolean

Defined in: packages/core/src/error/GenericError.ts:53

Tests, whether the specified error was caused by the client's action (for example wrong URL or request encoding).

Returns​

boolean

true if the error was caused the action of the client.

Overrides​

Error.isClientError

isRedirection()​

isRedirection(): boolean

Defined in: packages/core/src/error/GenericError.ts:60

Tests, whether the specified error should lead to a redirect.

Returns​

boolean

true if the error should cause a redirect.

Overrides​

Error.isRedirection

captureStackTrace()​

static captureStackTrace(targetObject, constructorOpt?): void

Defined in: node_modules/@types/node/globals.d.ts:52

Creates a .stack property on targetObject, which when accessed returns a string representing the location in the code at which Error.captureStackTrace() was called.

const myObject = {};
Error.captureStackTrace(myObject);
myObject.stack;  // Similar to `new Error().stack`

The first line of the trace will be prefixed with ${myObject.name}: ${myObject.message}.

The optional constructorOpt argument accepts a function. If given, all frames above constructorOpt, including constructorOpt, will be omitted from the generated stack trace.

The constructorOpt argument is useful for hiding implementation details of error generation from the user. For instance:

function a() {
  b();
}

function b() {
  c();
}

function c() {
  // Create an error without stack trace to avoid calculating the stack trace twice.
  const { stackTraceLimit } = Error;
  Error.stackTraceLimit = 0;
  const error = new Error();
  Error.stackTraceLimit = stackTraceLimit;

  // Capture the stack trace above function b
  Error.captureStackTrace(error, b); // Neither function c, nor b is included in the stack trace
  throw error;
}

a();

Parameters​
