Unified error API for node.js SQL DB drivers
This project is an attempt to create a unified API for node.js SQL DB driver errors. Each driver throws their own kind of errors and libraries like knex, Bookshelf and objection.js simply pass these errors through. It's usually very difficult to reason with these errors. This library wraps those errors to error classes that are the same for all drivers. The wrapped error classes also expose useful information about the errors.
NOTE: Only MySQL, Sqlite3, MSSQL and PostgreSQL are officially supported (tested).
Contributions and suggestions are most welcome
If you have an idea for an error we should handle, please open an issue and we'll see what we can do to add it.
Usage
const wrapError DBError UniqueViolationError NotNullViolationError } = ; { // wrapError function takes any error and returns a DBError subclass instance if // the input was an error thrown by the supported database drivers. Otherwise // the input error is returned. err = ; if err instanceof UniqueViolationError console; else if err instanceof NotNullViolationError console; else if err instanceof DBError console; }
API
DBError
Base class for all errors.
ConstraintViolationError
A base class for all constraint violation errors
UniqueViolationError
NotNullViolationError
ForeignKeyViolationError
CheckViolationError
// This is not available for MySql since MySql doesn't have check constraints.
DataError
// Invalid data (string too long, invalid date etc.)//// NOTE: SQLite uses dynamic typing and doesn't throw this error.
