Authentication, Authorization and Errors Middleware Package for Node/Express

This package is for Nodejs and Express backend development to handle errors

Installation

Install the package with npm.

  npm install @ticketifyorg/common

Ignore any "Express-validator" or deprecation errors you might see on your terminal.

Quick Set-up

In the "app.js" or "Index.js" file of your project root,

Import errorHandler using whichever module method.

const {errorHandler} = require("@ticketifyorg/common");

OR

import {errorHandler} from "@ticketifyorg/common";

Then use the errorHandler at the very END of your root project after the app.listen() like this

e.g app.use(errorHandler);

Now, test the errorHandler if it works by creating an app.all router by importing the NotFound error module so the top of your project looks like this

const { errorHandler, NotFoundError } = require("@ticketifyorg/common");

Create the App.all router calling the NotFoundError()

app.all("*", (req, res) => { throw new NotFoundError() })

If you installed everything properly and hit an unknown route on your localhost, you should see a 'Route not found' error on your browser.

Signing In and Signing Up validation Set-up

This package works with express-validator package to help validate your Sign In and Sign Up post request.

To get started, all you have to do is import

const { body } = require("express-validator");

&

const { validateRequest } = require("@ticketifyorg/common");

to the top of your project.

NOTE: if you already have @ticketifyorg/common package installed, you DONT need to install the express-validator package.

Chain your Sign-Up/Sign-In endpoint buy passing the validator chain as a middleware. See Express-validator docs here.

After chaining up your middleware, all you have to do is pass in the validateRequest middleware in the router like in the screenshot below.
