HTTP-friendly error objects

Lead Maintainer: Adam Bretz

boom provides a set of utilities for returning HTTP errors. Each utility returns a Boom error response object (instance of Error) which includes the following properties:

• isBoom - if true, indicates this is a Boom object instance.
• isServer - convenience bool indicating status code >= 500.
• message - the error message.
• output - the formatted response. Can be directly manipulated after object construction to return a custom error response. Allowed root keys:
  • statusCode - the HTTP status code (typically 4xx or 5xx).
  • headers - an object containing any HTTP headers where each key is a header name and value is the header content.
  • payload - the formatted object used as the response payload (stringified). Can be directly manipulated but any changes will be lost if reformat() is called. Any content allowed and by default includes the following content:
    • statusCode - the HTTP status code, derived from error.output.statusCode.
    • error - the HTTP status message (e.g. 'Bad Request', 'Internal Server Error') derived from statusCode.
    • message - the error message derived from error.message.
• inherited Error properties.

The Boom object also supports the following method:

• reformat() - rebuilds error.output using the other object properties.

Helper Methods

wrap(error, [statusCode], [message])

Decorates an error with the boom properties where:

• error - the error object to wrap. If error is already a boom object, returns back the same object.
• statusCode - optional HTTP status code. Defaults to 500.
• message - optional message string. If the error already has a message, it adds the message as a prefix. Defaults to no message.

var error = new Error('Unexpected input');
Boom.wrap(error, 400);

create(statusCode, [message], [data])

Generates an Error object with the boom decorations where:

• statusCode - an HTTP error code number. Must be greater or equal 400.
• message - optional message string.
• data - additional error data set to error.data property.

var error = Boom.create(400, 'Bad request', { timestamp: Date.now() });

HTTP 4xx Errors

Boom.badRequest([message], [data])

Returns a 400 Bad Request error where:

• message - optional message.
• data - optional additional error data.

Boom.badRequest('invalid query');

Generates the following response payload:

{
    "statusCode": 400,
    "error": "Bad Request",
    "message": "invalid query"
}

Boom.unauthorized([message], [scheme], [attributes])

Returns a 401 Unauthorized error where:

• message - optional message.
• scheme can be one of the following:
  • an authentication scheme name
  • an array of string values. These values will be separated by ', ' and set to the 'WWW-Authenticate' header.
• attributes - an object of values to use while setting the 'WWW-Authenticate' header. This value is only used when schema is a string, otherwise it is ignored. Every key/value pair will be included in the 'WWW-Authenticate' in the format of 'key="value"' as well as in the response payload under the attributes key. null and undefined will be replaced with an empty string. If attributes is set, message will be used as the 'error' segment of the 'WWW-Authenticate' header. If message is unset, the 'error' segment of the header will not be present and isMissing will be true on the error object.

If either scheme or attributes are set, the resultant Boom object will have the 'WWW-Authenticate' header set for the response.

F.A.Q.

How do I include extra information in my responses? output.payload is missing data, what gives?

There is a reason the values passed back in the response payloads are pretty locked down. It's mostly for security and to not leak any important information back to the client. This means you will need to put in a little more effort to include extra information about your custom error. Check out the "Error transformation" section in the hapi documentation.
