Advanced Feature: Custom Error Classes for a Financial Application

Imagine you're developing a financial application that handles various monetary operations. Your goal is to create a set of custom error classes that cater to different error scenarios commonly encountered in financial operations.

Problem Statement:

In a financial application, errors can occur due to insufficient funds, invalid currency conversion rates, and incorrect transaction data. Your aim is to design custom error classes that encapsulate these error scenarios and provide additional information to aid in debugging.

🚀 The Solution:

To address this problem, you'll design custom error classes that extend the built-in Error class and provide relevant error-specific properties. This approach enhances error handling and provides context-specific information to developers.

Implementation Steps:

Step 1: Define Custom Error Classes

Create custom error classes that extend the Error class and add properties specific to each error type.

Step 2: Using Custom Error Classes

Integrate the custom error classes into your financial application's error-handling logic.

In this exercise, you have learned how to implement Error handling specific to your use cases. This style of custom error handling comes with a lot of benefits including easy error checking and handling the user experience accordingly, triggering alarms, metrics based on certain sets of errors, and so on …

By creating specialized error types with additional data and behavior, you've enhanced the clarity and reliability of your error-handling process. Developers working on the application can now easily identify the type of error and access specific error-related information. This approach improves the maintainability of the application and helps you quickly diagnose and address errors in financial operations, contributing to a more robust and reliable financial application.

💡 Trivia Corner

Ever heard of the "Blue Screen of Death" (BSOD)? It's often associated with Windows operating systems crashing due to fatal errors. Interestingly, TypeScript, being a statically typed language, aims to catch errors at compile-time rather than runtime. While TypeScript won't prevent all errors, its strong type-checking helps catch many issues before your code even runs, reducing the chances of encountering a "TypeScript Red Screen of Death." So, while TypeScript can't solve all errors, it does contribute to a smoother development experience and fewer surprise errors compared to dynamically typed languages!
