Package Exports

jsm-exceptions
jsm-exceptions/dist/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (jsm-exceptions) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

JSM Exceptions

A comprehensive TypeScript exception library with HTTP status code support, detailed JSDoc documentation, and backward compatibility. Provides structured error handling for web applications and APIs.

✨ Features

🎯 HTTP Status Code Alignment: Each exception corresponds to appropriate HTTP status codes
📝 Comprehensive JSDoc: Detailed documentation with examples for every exception
🔄 Backward Compatibility: Maintains compatibility with existing code using @deprecated annotations
🏗️ TypeScript Support: Full TypeScript support with proper type definitions
🧩 Modular Design: Import only what you need
🔍 Rich Context: Support for additional context and metadata in exceptions
⏰ Timestamps: Automatic timestamp tracking for debugging
🎨 Validation Support: Built-in support for Joi validation errors

📦 Installation

npm install jsm-exceptions

🚀 Quick Start

Basic Usage

import { BadRequestException, ValidationException, ItemNotFoundException } from 'jsm-exceptions';

// Simple usage
throw new BadRequestException('Invalid request format');

// With additional context
throw new ItemNotFoundException('User not found', { userId: '12345' });

// Validation with field errors
throw new ValidationException('Validation failed', {
  email: { value: 'invalid-email', message: 'Email format is invalid' },
  age: { value: -1, message: 'Age must be positive' }
});

Using the Base Exception

import { BaseException } from 'jsm-exceptions';

// Custom exception extending BaseException
class CustomBusinessException extends BaseException {
  constructor(message: string, context?: Record<string, any>) {
    super(message, 422, context); // HTTP 422 Unprocessable Entity
  }
}

throw new CustomBusinessException('Business rule violation', {
  rule: 'maximum-orders-per-day',
  limit: 10,
  current: 11
});

🔧 Advanced Usage

Validation with Joi

import Joi from 'joi';
import { ValidationException } from 'jsm-exceptions';

const schema = Joi.object({
  email: Joi.string().email().required(),
  age: Joi.number().min(0).required()
});

try {
  const { error } = schema.validate(data);
  if (error) {
    throw new ValidationException('Validation failed', error);
  }
} catch (joiError) {
  // ValidationException automatically handles Joi.ValidationError
  throw new ValidationException('Input validation failed', joiError);
}

Error Handling in Express.js

import express from 'express';
import { BaseException, InternalServerErrorException } from 'jsm-exceptions';

const app = express();

// Error handling middleware
app.use((error: Error, req: express.Request, res: express.Response, next: express.NextFunction) => {
  if (error instanceof BaseException) {
    return res.status(error.status).json({
      success: false,
      error: {
        name: error.name,
        message: error.message,
        context: error.context,
        timestamp: error.timestamp
      }
    });
  }
  
  // Handle unexpected errors
  const internalError = new InternalServerErrorException('Unexpected error occurred');
  res.status(500).json({
    success: false,
    error: internalError.toJSON()
  });
});

Rate Limiting Example

import { TooManyRequestsException } from 'jsm-exceptions';

class RateLimiter {
  checkLimit(userId: string, limit: number, windowMs: number) {
    const requests = this.getUserRequests(userId, windowMs);
    
    if (requests.length >= limit) {
      throw new TooManyRequestsException('Rate limit exceeded', {
        userId,
        limit,
        windowMs,
        requestCount: requests.length,
        retryAfter: this.getRetryAfter(requests[0], windowMs)
      });
    }
  }
}

🔄 Migration from v1.x

The library maintains backward compatibility, but we recommend migrating to the new exception names:

// ❌ Old (deprecated)
import { JsmException, InternalServerError, JWTTokenExpired } from 'jsm-exceptions';

// ✅ New (recommended)
import { BaseException, InternalServerErrorException, JWTTokenExpiredException } from 'jsm-exceptions';

Deprecated exports will show warnings in TypeScript and include @deprecated JSDoc annotations.

🎛️ Exception Properties

All exceptions extend BaseException and include:

interface ExceptionProperties {
  name: string;              // Exception class name
  message: string;           // Error message
  status: number;            // HTTP status code
  context?: Record<string, any>; // Additional context
  timestamp: Date;           // When the exception was created
  stack?: string;            // Stack trace
}

JSON Serialization

const exception = new BadRequestException('Invalid input', { field: 'email' });

console.log(exception.toJSON());
// Output:
// {
//   name: 'BadRequestException',
//   message: 'Invalid input',
//   status: 400,
//   context: { field: 'email' },
//   timestamp: '2025-07-22T10:30:00.000Z',
//   stack: '...'
// }
