Reviewer's GuideThis PR enhances API error handling by conditionally exposing detailed error messages in JSON responses outside of production and updates streetpass routes to use a Class Diagram for Updated Generic API Error Response StructureclassDiagram
class GenericApiErrorResponse {
+String error
+String message?
}
note "The 'message' field is populated with detailed error information (err.message) if process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production'. Otherwise, it may be undefined or omitted."

Hey @numbpill3d - I've reviewed your changes - here's some feedback:
- Extract the repeated error response logic into a shared helper or middleware so you’re not duplicating the same JSON formatting in every route.
- Double-check that using
NODE_ENV !== 'production'won’t leak sensitive error details in your staging or test environments—consider a more explicit allowlist if needed.

suggestion: Extract environment check into a constant
Defining a top-level isProduction constant will make these environment checks clearer and reduce repetition.
Suggested implementation:
res.status(500).json({
error: 'An error occurred while fetching marketplace items',
message: !isProduction ? error.message : undefined
}); res.status(500).json({
error: 'Server error',
message: !isProduction ? err.message : undefined
}); });
}
});
// Top-level environment check constant
const isProduction = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production';![codereviewbot-ai[bot]](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/in/309638?s=60&v=4){kind=small}

Redundant Environment Check
The environment check process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production' is used multiple times across different endpoints to conditionally display error messages. This could be optimized by defining a constant at the top of the file to handle this logic, reducing redundancy and improving maintainability.
Recommendation:
Define a constant at the beginning of your file and use it to replace all instances of this check.
const isProduction = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production';

Error Message Detail
The error messages returned from the server are generic ('Server error') without much detail about what went wrong, which can hinder debugging and user feedback. While it's good practice not to expose detailed error information in production, during development, more informative messages could be beneficial.
Recommendation:
Enhance the error handling by including more specific error descriptions based on the exception caught, while still protecting sensitive information in production environments.
if (!isProduction) {
console.error('Detailed error:', err);
}
res.status(500).json({
error: 'Server error',
message: !isProduction ? 'Detailed error information here' : undefined
});1 participant
