Backend Tools

1. express-async-handler Simple middleware for handling exceptions inside of async express routes and passing them to your express error handlers.
   Usage:

const asyncHandler = require('express-async-handler')

express.get('/', asyncHandler(async (req, res, next) => {
    const bar = await foo.findAll();
    res.send(bar)
}))

Backend Notes

1. Global Error Handle Sometime we may get 200 reaponse eventhogh it's an error, so we make it a 500 fallback default - server error
   in Server.js

/**
 * @desc Global Error Handling
 * @response json object with stack trace when we are in 'development' mode
 */
app.use((err, req, res, next) => {
  const statusCode = res.statusCode === 200 ? 500 : res.statusCode;
  res.status(statusCode);
  res.json({
    message: err.message,
    stack: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' ? null: err.stack,
  })
})
