Predictable, centralized error handling for Express.js APIs

ds-express-errors provides a single, predictable error-handling strategy for Express.js APIs, replacing scattered try/catch blocks and inconsistent responses. It automatically maps errors from tools like Zod, Prisma, Mongoose, and JWT into proper HTTP errors with consistent JSON output. Everything is fully configurable — response shape, logging, environments, and custom error mapping. Built for production with async handling, process-level guards, graceful shutdowns, and full TypeScript support
👋 Hey Product Hunt!
I built ds-express-errors after repeatedly running into the same problem: error handling in Express apps quickly becomes fragmented — try/catch blocks everywhere, inconsistent responses, and ad-hoc fixes for each library.
The goal was to define one global error strategy that works across the entire API and automatically understands errors from tools like Zod, Joi, express-validator, Prisma, Sequelize, JWT, and Mongoose.
I’d love feedback from backend developers:
– How do you currently handle errors in Express?
– What integrations or features would make this more useful for you?
Thanks for checking it out!
