To use any of the custom error libraries you need to simply import them in your typescript/javascript application.

```js

// for NodeJS applications (Common JS)
const { ApplicationError, NotFoundError } = require('error-lib');
const {
ApplicationError,
NotFoundError,
ForbiddenError,
} = require('error-lib');

// Let's suppose we have a snippet that reads the content of a file
// 1) The first step is to check if the file exists.
// 2) The second step is to check if current user has access to the file.

const checkIfFileExist = (path) => {
// 'fs.exists' is a pseudo code
if (fs.exists(path) === false) {
throw new NotFoundError(`${path} was not found.`);
}

try {
return true;
};

if (fileNotFound === true) {
throw new NotFoundError('config.json was not found');
const readFileContent = (path) => {
if (fs.hasAccess(path) === false) {
throw new ForbiddenError(`User does not have access to '${path}'`);
}
}
catch (err) {

return 'dummy content';
};

try {
// step 1
checkIfFileExist('/path/to/file');

// step 2
const fileContent = readFileContent('/path/to/file');
} catch (err) {
if (err instanceof NotFoundError) {
//
// now you have intellisense enabled
console.error('File not found!');
} else if (err instanceof ForbiddenError) {
// now you have intellisense enabled
console.error('No access to the file');
} else {
console.error('Something went wrong!');
}
}

```

```ts

// For typescript/javascript (ES Module)
import { ApplicationError, NotFoundError } from 'error-lib';

// Let's suppose we have a snippet that reads the content of a file
// 1) The first step is to check if the file exists.
// 2) The second step is to check if current user has access to the file.

const checkIfFileExist = (path) => {
// 'fs.exists' is a pseudo code

throw new NotFoundError(`${path} was not found.`);
}

return true;
};

const readFileContent = (path) => {
if (fs.hasAccess(path) === false) {
throw new ForbiddenError(`User does not have access to '${path}'`);
}

return 'dummy content';

try {

checkIfFileExist('/path/to/file');

## Extend / Custom errors

Not the errors created in this package supports all the scenarios. It's not even possible 😁.

To add a new type of error that suits your needs, follow the instruction below.

> It's always a good idea to extend errors from one of the main error types in this package. Unless you have your own reasons not to do so 😁.
```js
// Let's suppose you're adding an InvalidUsernamePassword error (which can be derived from BadRequestError).

// invalid_username_password_error.ts
const { BadRequestError } = require('error-lib');

class InvalidUsernamePassword extends BadRequestError {
/**
*
* @param message {string} Custom error message
* @param opts Extra options
*/
constructor(message, opts) {
message = message ?? 'InvalidUsernamePasswordError';

super(message, {
cause: opts?.cause,
code: opts?.code ?? 'E_INVALID_USERNAME_PASSWORD',
});

Error.captureStackTrace(this, InvalidUsernamePassword);
Object.setPrototypeOf(this, InvalidUsernamePassword.prototype);
}
}

module.exports = {
InvalidUsernamePassword,
};

// in your application (e.g. app.js)
// Now you can use your new error class to throw more specific errors

if (user !== 'user1' && pass !== 'p4$sw0rd!') {
throw new InvalidUsernamePassword();
}
```
```ts
// Let's suppose you're adding an InvalidUsernamePassword error (which can be derived from BadRequestError).

// invalid_username_password_error.ts

import { BadRequestError, BadRequestErrorConstructorOptions } from 'error-lib';

export interface InvalidUsernamePasswordConstructorOptions<
TCauseError extends Error = Error,
> extends BadRequestErrorConstructorOptions<TCauseError> {}

export class InvalidUsernamePassword<
TCause extends Error = Error,
> extends BadRequestError<TCause> {
/**
*
* @param message Custom error message
* @param opts Extra options
*/
constructor(
message?: string,
opts?: InvalidUsernamePasswordConstructorOptions<TCause>,
) {
message = message ?? 'InvalidUsernamePasswordError';

super(message, {
cause: opts?.cause,
code: opts?.code ?? 'E_INVALID_USERNAME_PASSWORD',
});

Error.captureStackTrace(this, InvalidUsernamePassword);
Object.setPrototypeOf(this, InvalidUsernamePassword.prototype);
}
}

// in your application (e.g. app.ts)
// Now you can use your new error class to throw more specific errors

if (user !== 'user1' && pass !== 'p4$sw0rd!') {
throw new InvalidUsernamePassword();
}
```
And you're good to go!
