API Error Handling

Implement robust error handling with standardized responses and proper logging.

Standard Error Response Format

{
  "error": {
    "code": "VALIDATION_ERROR",
    "message": "Invalid request parameters",
    "status": 400,
    "requestId": "req_abc123",
    "timestamp": "2025-01-15T10:30:00Z",
    "details": [
      { "field": "email", "message": "Invalid email format" }
    ]
  }
}

Error Class (Node.js)

class ApiError extends Error {
  constructor(code, message, status = 500, details = null) {
    super(message);
    this.code = code;
    this.status = status;
    this.details = details;
  }

  static badRequest(message, details) {
    return new ApiError('BAD_REQUEST', message, 400, details);
  }

  static notFound(resource) {
    return new ApiError('NOT_FOUND', `${resource} not found`, 404);
  }

  static unauthorized() {
    return new ApiError('UNAUTHORIZED', 'Authentication required', 401);
  }
}

// Global error handler
app.use((err, req, res, next) => {
  const status = err.status || 500;
  const response = {
    error: {
      code: err.code || 'INTERNAL_ERROR',
      message: status === 500 ? 'Internal server error' : err.message,
      status,
      requestId: req.id
    }
  };

  if (err.details) response.error.details = err.details;
  if (status >= 500) logger.error(err);

  res.status(status).json(response);
});

Circuit Breaker Pattern

class CircuitBreaker {
  constructor(threshold = 5, timeout = 30000) {
    this.failures = 0;
    this.threshold = threshold;
    this.timeout = timeout;
    this.state = 'CLOSED';
  }

  async call(fn) {
    if (this.state === 'OPEN') throw new Error('Circuit open');
    try {
      const result = await fn();
      this.failures = 0;
      return result;
    } catch (err) {
      this.failures++;
      if (this.failures >= this.threshold) {
        this.state = 'OPEN';
        setTimeout(() => this.state = 'HALF_OPEN', this.timeout);
      }
      throw err;
    }
  }
}

Additional Implementations

See references/python-flask.md for:

• Python Flask error handling with custom exceptions
• Circuit breaker with automatic recovery
• Retry with exponential backoff
• Sentry integration

Best Practices

• Use consistent error format across all endpoints
• Include request IDs for traceability
• Log errors at appropriate severity levels
• Never expose stack traces to clients
• Distinguish client errors (4xx) from server errors (5xx)
• Provide actionable error messages
