parsehttp

parse/parsehttp

Writes parse's request errors as HTTP responses for servers without an error envelope of their own: the status the error's code declares and a JSON body of code, message and details.

Quick Start

func (s *server) fail(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, err error) {
	if parsehttp.WriteError(w, err) {
		return
	}
	s.log.ErrorContext(r.Context(), "request failed", slog.Any("error", err))
	http.Error(w, "internal error", http.StatusInternalServerError)
}

API Reference

• WriteError(w http.ResponseWriter, err error) bool — answers err when a *core.ParseError is in its chain, with ParseError.ErrorHTTPStatus() and Body; reports whether it did. Any other error is the caller's.
• Body — {"code", "message", "details"}, the shape the TypeScript SDK reads.

A parse error describes the request, never the database, so its message is safe to return; everything else is left to the caller to log and answer without internals.
