The "Better Response Helper" is a utility library that simplifies and standardizes the way responses received from a backend server are processed and managed in client-side applications. In modern web development, it's crucial to have a consistent approach to parsing and handling responses to ensure a seamless user experience and efficient error management. This library provides a set of tools and best practices to achieve just that.
- Unified Response Handling: Achieve a uniform response processing workflow across your client-side codebase, ensuring a consistent user experience regardless of the data source.
- Error Management: Easily detect and handle errors in a standardized way. This library provides mechanisms to handle common error types, making it straightforward to communicate error messages to users and take appropriate actions.
- Data Transformation: Streamline the transformation of response data into usable formats, such as parsing JSON or handling different content types, without having to rewrite code for each API call.
- Status Code Interpretation: Automatically interpret HTTP status codes and define actions to be taken for different statuses, whether it's a successful response, redirection, or an error.
- Customization: Adapt the response handling process to your specific application needs while maintaining a common structure across your codebase.
To start using the "Better Response Helper" library in your client-side application, follow the installation and usage instructions provided in the documentation. The documentation includes comprehensive examples and configuration options to help you integrate the library into your project smoothly.
Data on Success:
{
"statusCode": 100 to 511,
"message": "some message here",
"success": true or false,
"data": data
}Data on Failure:
{
"statusCode": 100 to 511,
"message": "some message here",
"success": true or false,
"description": "some description why the API failed",
"data": data
}The latest enhancement introduces configuration options for the ResHelper function. Users can now customize the behavior of the library by providing a configuration object, allowing for flexibility in defining default values for status codes, messages, and success statuses.
Basic Usage with Default Configuration
const { ResHelper, defaultConfig } = require("better-response-helper");
// Using the default configuration
const result = ResHelper({ status: 404 });
console.log(result);
// Output: { statusCode: 404, message: 'Not Found', success: false, data: null, description: 'The server can’t find the requested resource, and no redirection has been set. 404 errors can harm your SEO efforts.' }Custom Configuration
const { ResHelper, defaultConfig } = require("better-response-helper");
// Custom configuration
const customConfig = {
defaultStatusCode: 503,
defaultMessage: "Service Unavailable",
defaultSuccess: false,
};
// Using the custom configuration
const result = ResHelper({ status: 503 }, customConfig);
console.log(result);
// Output: { statusCode: 503, message: 'Service Unavailable', success: false, data: null, description: 'The server is unable to process the request. This often occurs when a server is overloaded or down for maintenance.' }Contributions are always welcome!
