Custom Try Catch (Laravel Package)
==================================

[](#custom-try-catch-laravel-package)

A simple and reusable Laravel helper to wrap your API or web logic with automatic try-catch, logging, and unique error IDs.

---

🚀 Installation
--------------

[](#-installation)

Install via Composer:

```
composer require boohey/custom-try-catch
```

---

⚙️ Usage
--------

[](#️-usage)

Wrap your controller or service logic using `apiTryCatch()`:

```
public function store()
{
    return apiTryCatch(function () {

        // Your business logic
        $data = [
            'name' => 'Test User'
        ];

        return response()->json([
            'success' => true,
            'data' => $data
        ]);

    });
}
```

---

❌ Example Error Handling
------------------------

[](#-example-error-handling)

If an exception occurs inside the callback:

```
return apiTryCatch(function () {
    throw new Exception("Something failed!");
});
```

---

📦 Sample API Response
---------------------

[](#-sample-api-response)

```
{
  "successCode": 0,
  "success": false,
  "message": "An error occurred",
  "errorId": "b3f8c6a2-8d3f-4c91-9c1e-2b9f1c5f6a21"
}
```

---

🌐 Web Response Behavior
-----------------------

[](#-web-response-behavior)

If the request is **not API (web request)**:

- Redirects back
- Shows error message with Error ID

Example:

```
Something went wrong. Error ID: b3f8c6a2-8d3f-4c91-9c1e-2b9f1c5f6a21

```

---

🧠 How It Works
--------------

[](#-how-it-works)

- Wraps your logic inside a try-catch block
- Generates a unique UUID for each error
- Logs error details using Laravel logger
- Returns clean JSON response for APIs
- Returns redirect response for web requests

---

🪵 Logging Example
-----------------

[](#-logging-example)

Errors are logged like:

```
API_ERROR: b3f8c6a2-8d3f-4c91-9c1e-2b9f1c5f6a21
Message: Something failed!
File: /app/Http/Controllers/UserController.php
Line: 25

```

---

✅ Features
----------

[](#-features)

- Simple helper function
- UUID-based error tracking
- Supports API & Web responses
- Clean and consistent error format
- Uses Laravel native logging

---

🛠 Requirements
--------------

[](#-requirements)

- PHP >= 8.0
- Laravel 8, 9, 10, or 11

---

📌 Best Practice
---------------

[](#-best-practice)

Use `apiTryCatch()` in:

- Controllers
- Service classes
- API endpoints

Avoid using it inside:

- Middleware (use global exception handler instead)

---

🔄 Future Improvements
---------------------

[](#-future-improvements)

- Configurable response format
- Middleware support
- Custom exception mapping
- Debug mode toggle
