Fancy Express error handling

express-wrapper.js

const app = require('express')();
const fs = require('fs');

// Resolves with a list of the filenames in dir, or rejects if dir doesn't exist or if something else goes wrong.
function readFileNames(dir) {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    fs.readdir(dir, (err, files) => {
      if (err) {
        reject(err);
      } else {
        resolve(files);
      }
    });
  });
}

// Returns a new async handler that is like the given one, but with promise rejections passed through to Express's "next" function.
function forwardErrors(handler) {
  return (req, res, next) => handler(req, res).catch(next);
}

app.get('/', forwardErrors(async (req, res) => {
  if (req.query.dir == null) {
    throw new Error("A 'dir' query parameter must be provided.");
  }
  const results = await readFileNames(req.query.dir);
  res.status(200).send(`Files in ${req.query.dir}:\n${results.join("\n")}`);
}));

app.use(function(error, req, res, next) {
  res.status(500).send(error.toString());
});

app.listen(3000);
