Handler creation example

Class must extend ExceptionHandler and implement handle method. Method must return HandlerExceptionDto filled.

export class MongoExceptionHandler extends ExceptionHandler{
    handle(exception: any): HandledExceptionDto {
        if ( !(exception instanceof MongoError) )
            return this.next?.handle(exception);

        switch (exception.code) {
            case 11000:
                return new HandledExceptionDto(getException(API_ERROR_CODES.DATABASE.DUPLICATE));
        }

        return null;
    }
}

handlers chain creation

Each member must extend ExceptionHandler

export const handlersChain = [
    new MongoExceptionHandler(),
    new ValidationExceptionHandler(),
    new CustomExceptionHandler(),
    new HttpExceptionHandler()
];

Nestjs exception filter configuration. main.ts:

    const exceptionFilter = new ExceptionFilter(
        <ExceptionHandler>createExceptionHandlersChain(handlersChain)
    );

    app.useGlobalFilters(exceptionFilter);

Custom exception use

throwException

Use one of the codes. Fill free to put any information to body (second param) If there are no code suitable - throw any exception type manually.

throwException(API_ERROR_CODES.COMMON.EMPTY_PARAM, {method: 'getByPermissionAndPermissionSets', fields: {permissionId, permissionSetIds}})

getException info

const {code, status, message} = getException(API_ERROR_CODES.COMMON.UNKNOWN);
