Getting started express error handling best practices We begin with a basic POST endpoint using the popular Compojure and Ring libraries: (ns library.routes (:require [compojure.core :refer [defroutes POST]] [compojure.handler :as handler] [ring.middleware.json :as ring-json] [library.db :as db])) (defroutes app-routes (POST "/books" {params :params} (let [{:keys [id]} (db/insert-book params)] {:status 201 :body { Working with Multiple Environments Hosting Managing Application State Servers Request Features Open Web Interface for .NET (OWIN) Choosing the Right .NET For You on the express error handling example Server MVC Testing Working with Data Client-Side Development Mobile Publishing and Deployment Guidance for Hosting Providers Security Performance Migration API Contribute ASP.NET Docs » Fundamentals » Error Handling Edit on GitHub Warning This page documents version 1.0.0-rc1 and has not yet been updated for version 1.0.0 Error Handling¶ By Steve Smith When https://8thlight.com/blog/mike-knepper/2015/05/19/handling-exceptions-with-middleware-in-clojure.html errors occur in your ASP.NET app, you can handle them in a variety of ways, as described in this article.

You can add a simple exception page, meant only for use during development, very easily. All that's required is to add a dependency on Microsoft.AspNetCore.Diagnostics to the project and then add one line to Configure() in Startup.cs: public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env) { app.UseIISPlatformHandler(); if (env.IsDevelopment()) { app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage(); } The above code includes a check to ensure the environment is development before adding the call to UseDeveloperExceptionPage. This is a good practice, since you typically do not want to share detailed exception information about your application publicly while it is in production. Learn more about configuring environments. The sample application includes a simple mechanism for creating an exception: public static void HomePage(IApplicationBuilder app) { app.Run(async (context) => { if (context.Request.Quer a long time now, I've been brute-force ugly with my error handling in my ExpressJS apps. Basically, just throw the exception after it bubbles back up to the route handler. This works. If you don't mind the app completely blowing chunks at this point https://derickbailey.com/2014/09/06/proper-error-handling-in-expressjs-route-handlers/ and dumping itself entirely. Of course, you could put a global error handler in your code to catch this unhandled exception, and *not* exit the app. But this is probably a bad idea, too. Once an exception is thrown (and not handled by the code that was being called, in the first place), the NodeJS environment is basically in an unknown and potentially bad state. Handle It Properly Unhandled exceptions should not be error handling allowed to crash and exit the app. Therefore, you really want to handle this exception in your callback, properly. It's a simple change, but using "return next(err);" instead of "throw err;" allows asynchronous code to raise an exception and still have it caught by the error handling pipeline in your app. Instead of putting the app into an unknown state where everything is potential dead or dangerous, calling "next(err)" tells the Express and express error handling Connect frameworks to pass the error along until an error handling middleware of function can properly take care of it. Error Handler Middleware If you weren't aware of it, every ExpressJS app comes with an error handler (or two - one for development work, one for non-development work… "production" … by default) in the default app.js file that is generated by the express command line: This code properly handles an error that was sent up the line using the "return next(err);" style of handling. Instead of putting the app in to an exception state by throwing the error, it is properly handled by the middleware, allowing you to write your own custom code, error logging and rendered view in response to the error ocurring. More On Error Handling There are potentially a lot more advantages to doing things this way, centered around application design and code architecture. But I'll leave those for other discussions.
