API Error Handler
=================

[](#api-error-handler)

A Laravel package that provides centralized JSON error handling for API applications.

Instead of repeating exception handling logic in every project, this package automatically converts Laravel exceptions into consistent JSON responses and optionally logs them.

**Compatibility**

- This package currently supports **Laravel 10 and earlier**.
- Support for **Laravel 11+** will be available in a future major release.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Centralized API exception handling
- Standardized JSON error responses
- Automatic exception logging
- Configurable response keys
- Configurable log channel
- Debug mode support
- Publishable configuration
- Supports common Laravel exceptions

Supported Exceptions
--------------------

[](#supported-exceptions)

- ValidationException
- AuthenticationException
- AuthorizationException
- ModelNotFoundException
- NotFoundHttpException
- MethodNotAllowedHttpException
- TooManyRequestsHttpException
- QueryException
- HttpException
- Generic Exception

---

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install the package via Composer.

```
composer require devgh/api-error-handler
```

Publish the configuration file.

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=error-handler-config
```

---

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

No additional setup is required.

The package automatically intercepts API exceptions for requests that:

- use the `api/*` route prefix
- or expect JSON responses.

Example:

```
Route::get('/users/{id}', function ($id) {
    return User::findOrFail($id);
});
```

Request:

```
GET /api/users/999

```

Response:

```
{
    "success": false,
    "message": "User not found.",
    "code": 404
}
```

---

Validation Errors
-----------------

[](#validation-errors)

```
{
    "success": false,
    "message": "The given data was invalid.",
    "code": 422,
    "errors": {
        "email": [
            "The email field is required."
        ]
    }
}
```

---

Debug Mode
----------

[](#debug-mode)

When `APP_DEBUG=true`, responses include debugging information.

```
{
    "success": false,
    "message": "...",
    "code": 500,
    "debug": {
        "exception": "...",
        "file": "...",
        "line": 45,
        "trace": [...]
    }
}
```

---

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

```
return [

    'debug' => env('APP_DEBUG', false),

    'log_errors' => true,

    'log_channel' => env('LOG_CHANNEL', 'stack'),

    'dont_report' => [

    ],

    'response_keys' => [
        'success' => 'success',
        'message' => 'message',
        'errors' => 'errors',
        'code' => 'code',
        'debug' => 'debug',
    ],

];
```

---

Logging
-------

[](#logging)

Handled exceptions are automatically logged using Laravel's logging system.

You may configure:

- log channel
- exceptions that should not be reported
- disable logging completely

---

Example Response
----------------

[](#example-response)

```
{
    "success": false,
    "message": "Unauthenticated.",
    "code": 401
}
```
