Create HTTP errors for Express, Koa, Connect, etc. with ease.
This is a Node.js module available through the
npm registry. Installation is done using the
npm install
command:
$ npm install http-errors
var createError = require('http-errors')
var express = require('express')
var app = express()
app.use(function (req, res, next) {
if (!req.user) return next(createError(401, 'Please login to view this page.'))
next()
})
This is the current API, currently extracted from Koa and subject to change.
All errors inherit from JavaScript Error
and the exported createError.HttpError
.
