API Exceptions
==============

[](#api-exceptions)

Convert your **Lumen** exceptions into JSON:

```
{
  "code": nnn,
  "message": "a message",
  "description": "a description",
  "errors": [
    "error 1",
    "error 2",
    ...
  ]
}

```

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

[](#installation)

Set your `composer.json` to allow less stable packages:

```
"minimum-stability" : "dev",
"prefer-stable" : true

```

Require the package as usual:

```
composer require nextdots/api-exceptions
```

Change `app/Exceptions/Handler.php`:

- Change this:

    ```
    use Laravel\Lumen\Exceptions\Handler as ExceptionHandler;
    ```
- To this:

    ```
    use ApiExceptions\Handler as ExceptionHandler;
    ```

On Linux, you can do the same as above with the following command:

```
sed -i 's/Laravel\\Lumen\\Exceptions\\Handler/ApiExceptions\\Handler/' app/Exceptions/Handler.php
```

Example
-------

[](#example)

```
use ApiExceptions\JsonResponseException;

$app->get('/throw-exception', function () {
    throw new JsonResponseException(400, "an exception", "a description");
});
```
