What the Hek? Handling API Errors with @wthek/express-middleware
Error handling in Express.js can be a nightmare—especially when you're dealing with custom error formats and status codes. Developers often struggle to ensure that error responses are consistent, correctly formatted, and properly handled across their applications. Enter @wthek/express-middleware—a plug-and-play solution designed to eliminate the hassle. Why Do You Need This Middleware? Handling errors in Express isn't just about catching them—it's about returning them in the right format. When using http-error-kit (WTHek), developers often face these issues: Inconsistent Status Codes – http-error-kit errors come with structured formats, but Express might not respect their intended status codes properly. Multiple http-error-kit Error Formats – Different http-error-kit errors may have different structures, making it tedious to manually handle them. Manual Error Handling Everywhere – Without a centralized solution, developers end up writing redundant error-handling logic in multiple places. Imagine writing 10 different error handlers just to ensure your API responses stay uniform. Sounds painful, right?
