Question: Handling errors in response

[mrcasablr]

Hello!

Thank you for the SDK and the hasura-backend-plus project, this has made writing new applications for user management sure simple.

I was wondering how errors are handled when using the sdk? I do not see any error examples in the documentation. Specifically, login errors or registration errors for various conditions (incorrect password, user exists.. and such)

Hi there,
was about to post an issue re this. the response for all the auth methods need to be expanded imo. atm they are not allowing a nice handling of the error states. the messages are not exposed to the client. i can see them on the server but they should trickle down to client too.

what do you think @elitan ?

Best,
Cezar

Sounds reasonable. Do you have a good example of where this is not the case right now? so I get a better understanding.

You can find the error message on error.response, eg:

try {
  await login({ email, password })
catch (err) {
  showError(err.response.data) // data is an object with `message` and other fields
}
