A small utility, used by Fastify itself, for generating consistent error objects across your codebase and plugins.
The module exports a function that you can use for consistent error objects, it takes 4 parameters:
createError(code, message [, statusCode [, Base [, captureStackTrace]]])
code
(string
, required) - The error code, you can access it later with error.code
. For consistency, we recommend prefixing plugin error codes with FST_
message
(string
, required) - The error message. You can also use interpolated strings for formatting the message.statusCode
(number
, optional) - The status code that Fastify will use if the error is sent via HTTP.Base
(ErrorConstructor
, optional) - The base error object that will be used. (eg TypeError
, RangeError
)captureStackTrace
(boolean
, optional) - Whether to capture the stack trace or not.const createError = require('@fastify/error') const CustomError = createError('ERROR_CODE', 'Hello') console.log(new CustomError()) // error.message => 'Hello'
How to use an interpolated string:
const createError = require('@fastify/error') const CustomError = createError('ERROR_CODE', 'Hello %s') console.log(new CustomError('world')) // error.message => 'Hello world'
How to add cause:
const createError = require('@fastify/error') const CustomError = createError('ERROR_CODE', 'Hello %s') console.log(new CustomError('world', {cause: new Error('cause')})) // error.message => 'Hello world' // error.cause => Error('cause')
It is possible to limit your error constructor with a generic type using TypeScript:
const CustomError = createError<[string]>('ERROR_CODE', 'Hello %s') new CustomError('world') //@ts-expect-error new CustomError(1)
All errors created with createError
will be instances of the base error constructor you provided, or Error
if none was provided.
const createError = require('@fastify/error') const CustomError = createError('ERROR_CODE', 'Hello %s', 500, TypeError) const customError = new CustomError('world') console.log(customError instanceof CustomError) // true console.log(customError instanceof TypeError) // true console.log(customError instanceof Error) // true
All instantiated errors are instances of the FastifyError
class, which can be required directly from the module.
const { createError, FastifyError } = require('@fastify/error') const CustomError = createError('ERROR_CODE', 'Hello %s', 500, TypeError) const customError = new CustomError('world') console.log(customError instanceof FastifyError) // true
A FastifyError
created by createError
can extend another FastifyError
while maintaining correct instanceof
behavior.
const { createError, FastifyError } = require('@fastify/error') const CustomError = createError('ERROR_CODE', 'Hello %s', 500, TypeError) const ChildCustomError = createError('CHILD_ERROR_CODE', 'Hello %s', 500, CustomError) const customError = new ChildCustomError('world') console.log(customError instanceof ChildCustomError) // true console.log(customError instanceof CustomError) // true console.log(customError instanceof FastifyError) // true console.log(customError instanceof TypeError) // true console.log(customError instanceof Error) // true
If fastify-error
is installed multiple times directly or as a transitive dependency, instanceof
checks for errors created by createError
will still work correctly across these installations, as long as their error codes (e.g., FST_ERR_CUSTOM_ERROR
) are identical.
const { createError, FastifyError } = require('@fastify/error') // CustomError from `@fastify/some-plugin` is created with `createError` and // has its own `@fastify/error` installation as dependency. CustomError has // FST_ERR_CUSTOM_ERROR as code. const { CustomError: CustomErrorFromPlugin } = require('@fastify/some-plugin') const CustomError = createError('FST_ERR_CUSTOM_ERROR', 'Hello %s', 500) const customError = new CustomError('world') const customErrorFromPlugin = new CustomErrorFromPlugin('world') console.log(customError instanceof CustomError) // true console.log(customError instanceof CustomErrorFromPlugin) // true console.log(customErrorFromPlugin instanceof CustomError) // true console.log(customErrorFromPlugin instanceof CustomErrorFromPlugin) // true
Changing the code of an instantiated Error will not change the result of the instanceof
operator.
const { createError, FastifyError } = require('@fastify/error') const CustomError = createError('ERROR_CODE', 'Hello %s', 500, TypeError) const AnotherCustomError = createError('ANOTHER_ERROR_CODE', 'Hello %s', 500, CustomError) const customError = new CustomError('world') customError.code = 'ANOTHER_ERROR_CODE' console.log(customError instanceof CustomError) // true console.log(customError instanceof AnotherCustomError) // false
