how to wrap a mongoose validation error about boom HOT 11 CLOSED

You can use https://github.com/hapijs/boom#createstatuscode-message-data and then send the important fields as data otherwise I would try https://github.com/hapijs/boom#wraperror-statuscode-message

from boom.

i am trying reply(Boom.create(422, err.message, err)); however i'm still receiving the same thing on the browser or postman or network devtools whatever. where i am supposed to get that extra data ?

wrap() doesn't help, it does the same thing as create but without this extra datafield

from boom.

also tried sending the errors object which is the most important thing reply(Boom.create(422, err.message, err.errors)); but still getting the same basic payload

{
error: "Unprocessable Entity"
message: "User validation failed"
statusCode: 422
}

from boom.

@dciccale please see if this helps.

@arb nope, that returns

{
error: "Internal Server Error"
message: "An internal server error occurred"
statusCode: 500
}

i would prefer returning a 422 with at least the errors field from mongoose error.

from boom.

if I do this:

var e = Boom.whatever(err);

e looks something like this before going through reply():

{ [Error: User validation failed]
  data: 
   { email: 
      { [ValidatorError: The specified email address is already in use.]
        properties: [Object],
        message: 'The specified email address is already in use.',
        name: 'ValidatorError',
        kind: 'user defined',
        path: 'email',
        value: '[email protected]' } },
  isBoom: true,
  isServer: true,
  output: 
   { statusCode: 500,
     payload: 
      { statusCode: 500,
        error: 'Internal Server Error',
        message: 'An internal server error occurred' },
     headers: {} },
  reformat: [Function],
  isDeveloperError: true }

the problem is when passing e to the reply(e) method of hapi, the response of the endpoint is this

{
error: "Internal Server Error"
message: "An internal server error occurred"
statusCode: 500
}

i gues I should move this issue there

You didn't read everything I linked to. You need to do error transformation if you want to expose more data to the client than is normally there. https://github.com/hapijs/hapi/blob/master/API.md#error-transformation

from boom.

@arb i'm really sorry, i finally solved it with that, really cool thx!

from boom.

and keep up with the good job guys, i'm never going back to express

from boom.

I wrapped the error simply this way:

			.catch(error => {
				const response = Boom.badRequest(error);
				response.output.payload.error = error;
				reply(response);
			});
