Plug v1.8.1 Plug.ErrorHandler View Source
A module to be used in your existing plugs in order to provide error handling.
defmodule AppRouter do
use Plug.Router
use Plug.ErrorHandler
plug :match
plug :dispatch
get "/hello" do
send_resp(conn, 200, "world")
end
def handle_errors(conn, %{kind: _kind, reason: _reason, stack: _stack}) do
send_resp(conn, conn.status, "Something went wrong")
end
end
Once this module is used, a callback named handle_errors/2
should
be defined in your plug. This callback should accept a connection and a map
containing:
- the exception kind (
:throw
,:error
or:exit
), - the reason (an exception for errors or a term for others)
- the stacktrace
After the callback is invoked, the error is re-raised.
It is advised to do as little work as possible when handling errors and avoid accessing data like parameters and session, as the parsing of those is what could have led the error to trigger in the first place.
Also notice that these pages are going to be shown in production. If
you are looking for error handling to help during development, consider
using Plug.Debugger
.
Note: If this module is used with Plug.Debugger
, it must be used
after Plug.Debugger
.
