$ yarn add @robotsandpencils/koa-errors

const { e500 } = require('@robotsandpencils/koa-errors')
const Koa = require('koa')
const Router = require('koa-router')

const app = new Koa()
const router = new Router()

app.on('error', (err, ctx) => {
  console.log('uncaught_koa_error', err, ctx)
})

app.use(e500({
  showStack: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'local',
}))

router.get('/boom', async (ctx) => {
  throw new Error('BOOM!')
})

app.use(router.routes())
app.listen(3000)

• showStack: whether or not to show the stack trace in the response body. Always set this to false in publically accessible environments, such as production.
