ViewsHow to handle api errors using aws-amplify?
I'm currently trying to POST data to my aws lambda functions triggered by aws api-gateway using the aws-amplify react lib.
Here is the code :
API.post("snippets","snippets/", {
body: data,
}).then(response => response).catch(console.log(err))
In the main case, everything is OK.
But my lambda function is design to validate the input data and return a status code 400 with a returned payload looking like that :
{
"errors": [
{
"field": "title",
"message": "This field is required"
}
]
}
I would like to catch those errors in order to display them in the frontend but aws-amplify seems to have an undocumented behavior.
By default, status code 400 returned are throw with a default error message :
Error: Request failed with status code 400
at createError (createError.js:16)
at settle (settle.js:18)
at XMLHttpRequest.handleLoad (xhr.js:77)
Is there a way to get the returned payload instead of this magical error?

It turns out that under the hood, aws-amplifyuse Axios to make http calls.
When using Axios, you have to console.log(error.response): https://github.com/axios/axios/issues/960
Here is the fix I've made :
API.post("snippets","snippets/", {
body: data,
}).then(response => response).catch(error => console.log(error.response.data))
A Pull Request on the aws-amplify documentation is open : https://github.com/aws/aws-amplify/pull/633

I also faced the similar issues, It showed the default error message "Request failed with status code 400", instead of the message that is returned from API.
I logged the Error object and it did not show the response attribute in it. But we do have response attribute. I tried logging the Error.response and it did contain the response sent from the API.

Just figured out this by going through the 'Cancel API requests' Amplify docs.
From what I can see this is the contents of the error object returned by the API call:
Heres what I am doing to just print out the error, obviously you would do a lot more here but its a good start.
async uploadUser(state, payload) {
const promise = API.graphql({
query: createUser,
variables: { input: payload },
});
try {
await promise;
} catch (error) {
// Print out the actual error given back to us.
console.log(error.errors[0].message);
// If the error is because the request was cancelled we can confirm here.
if (API.isCancel(error)) {
// handle user cancellation logic.
console.log(error.message);
}
}
Hope that helps 😃
