pg_error_parser v1.0.1

pg_error_parser

A micro-module to make sense of error messages in postgresql. Works well with the pg module.

npm install pg_error_parser

Usage

format(error)

Takes an error object and adds more information to it. Useful when logging error objects and needing to see some normalized data.

Error lookups are based on the sqlState key of the error object.

Format will add the following keys to the error object:

code_name

Values such as not_null_violation, unique_violation, or invalid_sql_statement_name.

code_level

The severity of the error, either info, warning, or error.

code_group_name

A human readable name for this type of error like Integrity Constraint Violation, Invalid Transaction State, or Data Exception.

var pg = require('pg');
var pgep = require('pg_error_parser');
var client = new pg.Client();


client.query(text, params, function(err, result) {
  done();
  if (err) {
    err = pgep.format(err);
    // error object now has additional keys
    console.error(err);
    return callback(err);
  }
  callback(null, result);
});
