Error Handling and Throwing in Classes

The files in the classes/ directory are classified as Classes. They do not have access to the Express request and response stream.

The Classes are used heavily by routes and utility files. They help dictate what response code and message are returned by the endpoints.

Review all instances of error scenarios across the Classes. Errors within the Classes should be caught, handled, and thrown in a consistent manner. The routes and utility files can then catch and handle errors thrown by the Classes and pass them through to help determine the response to the client.

Review how the routes and utilities catch and handle errors in order to respond to the client. This may help you shape what an Error from the Classes should look like.

Start by inventorying error scenarios in the classes/ directory, then read how the routes and utility files catch errors and determine endpoint responses. Define and apply a consistent error contract across the Classes, with routes and utilities able to catch and handle every class error consistently.
