This is a Node.js module available through the
npm registry. Installation is done using the

>= 500headers
- can be an object of header names to values to be sent to the client, defaulting toundefined
. When defined, the key names should all be lower-casedmessage

for general compatibilitystatusCode
- the status code of the error, defaulting to500
createError([status], [message], [properties])
Create a new error object with the given message msg

The error object inherits from createError.HttpError
.
var err = createError(404, 'This video does not exist!')
status: 500
- the status code as a numbermessage
- the message of the error, defaulting to node's text for that status code.properties
- custom properties to attach to the object
createError([status], [error], [properties])
Extend the given error
object with createError.HttpError
properties. This will not alter the inheritance of the given
error
object, and the modified error
object is the
return value.
fs.readFile('foo.txt', function (err, buf) {
if (err) {
if (err.code === 'ENOENT') {
var httpError = createError(404, err, { expose: false })
} else {
var httpError = createError(500, err)
}
}
})
status
- the status code as a numbererror
- the error object to extendproperties
- custom properties to attach to the object
new createError[code || name]([msg]))
