express-error-toolkit — the One NPM Package to Handle All Express Errors

#npm #express #dx #errors

Error handling in Express has always been repetitive:

writing the same notFoundHandler, globalErrorHandler, asyncHandler, and custom error classes across every project.

Even with libraries like express-async-errors, you still end up wiring things manually — and none of them improve the DX in the terminal.

That’s why I built — 🔗 express-error-toolkit

✨ Core Features

✅ Pre-built middleware: globalErrorHandler, notFoundHandler
✅ Type-safe custom error classes (e.g. NotFoundError, BadRequestError)
✅ Simple asyncHandler utility to avoid try-catch blocks
✅ httpError() helper for one-liner errors
✅ Colorful, readable console logs (no chalk needed)
✅ Works with both CommonJS & ESM
✅ Fully configurable (via .env or code)
✅ Built with DX in mind
