HTTP errors

Simple HTTP errors for your Ruby application. You can see a complete list of http errors here.

Usage

Install it

gem 'http-errors', require: 'http_error'

Then in your application you can raise an HTTP error

raise HttpError::Unauthorized

You can also set some detail information about the error

raise HttpError::Unauthorized, 'Invalid email or password'

In your ApplicationController you can then handle the errors like this

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  include HttpError::Response
end

Or you can implement your own handler for all HttpErrors

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  rescue_from HttpError::Error do |error|
    # Handle the error here
  end
end

Or for a specific, single error

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  rescue_from HttpError::Teapot do |error|
    render json: { error: 'This is silly' }, status: 418
  end
end
