Swallowing of errors

Hi there,

Loving the simplicity of this library. I’ve just got a couple issues I’d like some clarification on.

How do I catch errors that occur inside my async function for my endpoint.

For example:

import { endpoints } from "wildcard-api";

endpoints.runThing = async function({ argument }) {
  doSomethingWithArgument(argument); <-- This throws an Error
};

These errors are being swallowed and handled by Wildcard API, and the only result I get back from my request is:

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 51
Date: Tue, 05 Mar 2019 14:29:25 GMT
Connection: keep-alive

{"usageError":"Endpoint could not handle request."}

Response code: 400 (Bad Request); Time: 49ms; Content length: 51 bytes

I would like to wrap my entire API in my own error handling, as I return certain structures of JSON from all my API endpoints for my client to handle as it likes. This includes uncaught errors in my API code - as of now I have no way to intercept that error and return my own structured response.

Okay cool. Interested to hear what you have put together on the next walk 😃

There is a legacy reason why Wildcard formats its own errors but I don’t think it’s required anymore, I’ll reevaluate this. And you’re right I should and I will reduce chars and console calls to a minimum. Thanks!
