Unhandled Errors in API Error Handler

The current implementation of the API error handler presents an issue where it cannot effectively handle unhandled errors. When an unhandled error occurs, the API error handler middleware attempts to retrieve a non-existent HTTP code from the error object. This leads to a cascade of errors and complicates debugging.

Context:

The inability to handle unhandled errors impacts the reliability and robustness of our application. It can result in unpredictable behavior and obscure error messages, making it challenging to diagnose and rectify issues promptly.

Proposed Improvement:

To address this issue, we need to enhance the API error handler's error handling mechanism. This may involve implementing better error detection methods, refining the error message reporting, and ensuring that unhandled errors are gracefully handled without causing further issues.

Impact:

By resolving this issue, we can significantly improve the overall stability and maintainability of our application. It will lead to clearer error reporting, better debugging, and a more user-friendly experience.

Action Plan:

Identify the root cause of the problem with the API error handler.
Refactor the error handling mechanism to handle unhandled errors more gracefully.
Implement thorough testing to validate the changes.
Monitor the application's error logs to ensure that unhandled errors are now properly handled.
