Class: ValidationError

Custom validation error class for schema validation failures. Extends the base HTTP error with validation-specific properties and methods. Provides integration with Zod validation errors and enhanced error reporting.

Extends

Constructors

Constructor

ts
new ValidationError(message, extend): ValidationError;

Creates a new ValidationError instance.

Parameters

message

string

extend

ValidatorErrorOptions = {}

Returns

ValidationError

Example

ts
const error = new ValidationError('Validation failed');

Overrides

HttpError.constructor

Properties

base?

ts
optional base: unknown;

Inherited from

HttpError.base


cause?

ts
optional cause: unknown;

The cause of the error.

Inherited from

HttpError.cause


code?

ts
optional code: string;

Inherited from

HttpError.code


constructor

ts
constructor: typeof HttpError;

The initial value of Object.prototype.constructor is the standard built-in Object constructor.

Inherited from

ts
BaseError.constructor

headers?

ts
optional headers: HeadersInit;

Inherited from

HttpError.headers


issues?

ts
optional issues: $ZodIssue[];

Array of zod issues


message

ts
message: string;

Inherited from

HttpError.message


name

ts
name: string = ValidationError.name;

The name of this error class

Overrides

HttpError.name


response

ts
response: unknown;

Inherited from

HttpError.response


stack?

ts
optional stack: string;

Inherited from

HttpError.stack


status

ts
status: number;

Inherited from

HttpError.status


stackTraceLimit

ts
static stackTraceLimit: number;

The Error.stackTraceLimit property specifies the number of stack frames collected by a stack trace (whether generated by new Error().stack or Error.captureStackTrace(obj)).

The default value is 10 but may be set to any valid JavaScript number. Changes will affect any stack trace captured after the value has been changed.

If set to a non-number value, or set to a negative number, stack traces will not capture any frames.

Inherited from

HttpError.stackTraceLimit

Methods

render()

ts
render(ctx): Promise<Response>;

Parameters

ctx

Context

Returns

Promise<Response>

Inherited from

HttpError.render


toJSON()

ts
toJSON(): unknown;

Returns

unknown

Inherited from

HttpError.toJSON


captureStackTrace()

ts
static captureStackTrace(targetObject, constructorOpt?): void;

Creates a .stack property on targetObject, which when accessed returns a string representing the location in the code at which Error.captureStackTrace() was called.

js
const myObject = {};
Error.captureStackTrace(myObject);
myObject.stack;  // Similar to `new Error().stack`

The first line of the trace will be prefixed with ${myObject.name}: ${myObject.message}.

The optional constructorOpt argument accepts a function. If given, all frames above constructorOpt, including constructorOpt, will be omitted from the generated stack trace.

The constructorOpt argument is useful for hiding implementation details of error generation from the user. For instance:

js
function a() {
  b();
}

function b() {
  c();
}

function c() {
  // Create an error without stack trace to avoid calculating the stack trace twice.
  const { stackTraceLimit } = Error;
  Error.stackTraceLimit = 0;
  const error = new Error();
  Error.stackTraceLimit = stackTraceLimit;

  // Capture the stack trace above function b
  Error.captureStackTrace(error, b); // Neither function c, nor b is included in the stack trace
  throw error;
}

a();

Parameters

targetObject

object

constructorOpt?

Function

Returns

void

  }
}

Indicates whether the argument provided is a built-in Error instance or not.

Parameters

error

unknown

Returns

error is Error
