nestjs-exception-filters

nestjs-exception-filters is a skill for Claude Code from dkmqflx/nestjs-best-practices-plugin. It costs 57 tokens per session (595 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for handling errors in NestJS, including built-in HTTP errors, custom application errors, and global exception filters. Exception filters control how errors become responses sent to API clients.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when throwing errors, defining domain-specific exceptions, building a global error filter, or standardizing JSON error responses.
Why use it?
It helps replace inconsistent manual error responses with clear error types and one consistent response format.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

nestjs-exception-filters scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

NestJS Exception Handling & Filters

NestJS ships a built-in exceptions layer that catches unhandled exceptions and turns them into a sensible HTTP response. Lean on it: throw exceptions from your business logic and let filters shape the response. These rules cover throwing the right exception, modeling domain errors, and centralizing error formatting with global filters — for NestJS v10/v11.

When to Apply

  • Throwing errors from controllers, services, guards, pipes, or interceptors.
  • Designing custom/domain exception classes.
  • Building a global exception filter (APP_FILTER) or a catch-all filter.
  • Standardizing the JSON error body returned to clients.
  • Reviewing code that manually builds error responses on res.

Rules

Rule Impact Summary
use-builtin-http-exceptions HIGH Throw BadRequestException/NotFoundException etc. instead of generic Error.
domain-exception-classes MEDIUM Model domain errors as custom classes extending HttpException.
global-exception-filter HIGH Register a global filter via APP_FILTER for consistent formatting.
catch-all-unknown-errors HIGH Use a @Catch() catch-all filter to map unknown errors to 500.
dont-leak-internal-details CRITICAL Never expose stack traces, SQL, or secrets; log them server-side only.
consistent-error-shape MEDIUM Return a uniform JSON error body across the API.
throw-dont-return-errors HIGH Let exceptions propagate to filters; don't hand-craft res in handlers.

How to Use

  1. In handlers/services, throw built-in or domain exceptions — never construct the HTTP response by hand.
  2. Add one global catch-all filter (APP_FILTER) that formats every error into your standard shape and maps unknown errors to 500.
  3. In that filter, log full internals server-side and return only safe, client-facing fields.
  4. Skim the rule files above for the incorrect/correct examples before writing or reviewing error-handling code.
