Next.JS - little decorator (Higher Order Function) to handle Prisma errors

I am quite surprised I couldn't find any generic way to handle exception from prisma client, so I wrote my own decorator.
I am just starting learning Next.js, so my approach could be very naive though, let me know if you see any improvements here.

It hides the error details for any other environment than dev.

import { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from "next";
import { isDevEnv } from "./common";
import { Prisma } from "@prisma/client";

export function withPrismaError(request: (req: NextApiRequest, res: NextApiResponse) => unknown) {
  return async function (req: NextApiRequest, res: NextApiResponse) {
    try {
      await request(req, res);
    } catch (e) {
      if (e instanceof Prisma.PrismaClientKnownRequestError) {
        const errorResponse = {
          error: isDevEnv ? `${e.code} ${e.message}` : "prisma_error",
        };

        return res.status(503).json(errorResponse);
      }

      return res.status(503).json({ error: true });
    }
  };
}

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

and the usage:

export default withPrismaError(
  async function handler(req: NextApiRequest, res: NextApiResponse) {
    const { email, password, url } = req.body;

    await registerUser(email, password, url);
    res.status(200).json({ success: true });
  }
);
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

PS. ...and "hello guys", apparently today I am transitioned from "lurker" to blogger!
