Error Handler Generator

Good error handling means custom error classes, proper status codes, and consistent response shapes. This tool generates all of it for your framework.

One command. Zero config. Just works.

Quick Start

npx ai-error-handler express

What It Does

Generates error middleware for your framework
Creates custom error classes (NotFoundError, ValidationError, etc.)
Includes async wrapper to catch promise rejections
Sets up proper HTTP status codes

Usage Examples

# Express middleware
npx ai-error-handler express

# Fastify in JavaScript
npx ai-error-handler fastify -l javascript

# Next.js API routes
npx ai-error-handler nextjs -o lib/errors.ts

# Koa
npx ai-error-handler koa

Best Practices

Don't leak stack traces - only show them in development
Log errors server-side - you need them for debugging
Use error codes - clients can handle specific codes
Be consistent - same error shape everywhere

When to Use This

Starting a new API project
Standardizing error handling across routes
Adding proper error responses to a messy codebase
Setting up error monitoring
