How to handle HTTP errors?

https://discordjs.guide/popular-topics/errors I've read this and still don't know how to properly handle HTTP errors. I don't really know how to handle a 403 (FORBIDDEN) error for example. How can I do this? Update: Can I just do this?

import { DiscordAPIError, RESTJSONErrorCodes } from "discord.js";

try {
} catch (err) {
  // Handle HTTP errors
  if (err instanceof DiscordAPIError) {
    // Handle here
  }

  // JSON error codes
  if (err.code === RESTJSONErrorCodes.Unauthorized) {
    // Handle here
  }
}

import { DiscordAPIError, RESTJSONErrorCodes } from "discord.js";

try {
} catch (err) {
  // Handle HTTP errors
  if (err instanceof DiscordAPIError) {
    // Handle here
  }

  // JSON error codes
  if (err.code === RESTJSONErrorCodes.Unauthorized) {
    // Handle here
  }
}

- What's your exact discord.js npm list discord.js and node node -v version? - Not a discord.js issue? Check out #other-js-ts. - Consider reading #how-to-get-help to improve your question! - Explain what exactly your issue is. - Post the full error stack trace, not just the top part! - Show your code! - Issue solved? Press the button!

Prob just let the program die because the token is no longer valid Or ur talking abt forbidden

LukeZOP•5mo ago

oh, my bad haha Yeah, forbidden and any additional errors

Inky•5mo ago

It depends on the context Like for interactions, reply ephemerally that you are missing permissions

LukeZOP•5mo ago

When I try to timeout or ban someone for example

Inky•5mo ago

The status text usually gives you more insight Or the code in this case Error.code is not the status code btw

LukeZOP•5mo ago

aaand how to access the code?

d.js docs•5mo ago

:property: DiscordjsError#code @14.16.3

LukeZOP•5mo ago

well, is it a DiscordjsError if it's an API error?

Inky•5mo ago

We should have an enum for api error codes

LukeZOP•5mo ago

. is my approach at least correct?

Huh, must be a generic Unauthorized then

LukeZOP•5mo ago

Inky•5mo ago

The second if should be inside the first one

LukeZOP•5mo ago

what :kekw:

Inky•5mo ago

You can only guarantee error.code exists if error is a DiscordAPIError Otherwise, error could be undefined or null for all you know

LukeZOP•5mo ago

error?.code or error instance of DiscordAPIError ?

Inky•5mo ago

The second if statement belongs in the first one

LukeZOP•5mo ago

I'm not sure if I get it but you mean this? (Example)
