# http-problem-details-parser

Based on `http-problem-details` ([repository](https://github.com/PDMLab/http-problem-details) | [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-problem-details)) , this library allows you to map your HTTP problem details according to [RFC7807](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7807) by convention in a JavaScript / TypeScript client.

## Installation

```bash
npm install http-problem-details-parser
```

```bash
yarn add http-problem-details-parser
```

## Usage

Given have a HTTP Problem respons like this:

```json
{
  "type": "https://example.net/not-found",
  "status": 404,
  "title": "Customer not found."
}
```

You can now simply parse it to a `ProblemDocument` document like this:

```typescript
import { fromJSON } from 'http-problem-details-parser'
const result = fromJSON(status400JSON)
```

`http-problem-details-parser` also supports mapping extensions. Given you have this response:

```json
{
  "type": "https://example.net/validation-error",
  "status": 400,
  "title": "Your request parameters didn't validate.",
  "instance": "https://example.net/account/logs/123",
  "invalid-params": [
    {
      "name": "age",
      "reason": "must be a positive integer"
    },
    {
      "name": "color",
      "reason": "must be 'green', 'red' or 'blue'"
    }
  ]
}
```

You can now specify a mapper to map the extension `invalid-params`:

```typescript
const mappers: HttpProblemExtensionMapper[] = [
  {
    type: 'https://example.net/validation-error',
    map: (object: any) =>
      new ProblemDocumentExtension({
        'invalid-params': object['invalid-params']
      })
  }
]
```

when calling `fromJSON(status400JSON, mappers)`, the `invalid-params` extension gets parsed as well.

If you want to handle the `ProblemDocument` instances created above later on, it is recommended to create types for them.

```typescript
type ValidationProblemDocument = Override<
  ProblemDocument,
  {
    type: 'https://example.net/validation-error'
    'invalid-params': {
      name: string
      reason: string
    }[]
  }
>

type NotFoundProblemDocument = Override<
  ProblemDocument,
  {
    status: 404
    type: 'https://example.net/not-found'
  }
>

type Problem = ValidationProblemDocument | NotFoundProblemDocument
```

Now you can use type guards or exhaustive pattern matching in TypeScript like this:

```typescript
// type guard
function isValidationProblemDocument(
  value: unknown
): value is ValidationProblemDocument {
  const x = value as ProblemDocument
  return x.type === 'https://example.net/validation-error'
}

// pattern matching
const document = fromObject(status404, mappers) as Problem
switch (document.type) {
  case 'https://example.net/validation-error':
    document['invalid-params'].length.should.equal(2)
    break
  case 'https://example.net/not-found':
    should.not.exist(document['invalid-params'])
    break

default:
    break
}
```

In addition, you get code completion support for your editor.

## Running the tests

```bash
npm test
```

```bash
yarn test
```
