> [!IMPORTANT]
> As we use [conditional exports](https://nodejs.org/api/packages.html#conditional-exports), you will need to adapt your `tsconfig.json` by setting `"moduleResolution": "node16", "module": "node16"`.

> See the TypeScript docs on [package.json "exports"](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/modules/reference.html#packagejson-exports).<br>

```js
const error = new RequestError("Oops", 500, {
  request: {
    method: "POST",
    url: "https://api.github.com/foo",
    body: {
      bar: "baz",
    },
    headers: {
      authorization: "token secret123",
    },
  },
  response: {
    status: 500,
    url: "https://api.github.com/foo",
    headers: {
      "x-github-request-id": "1:2:3:4",
    },
    data: {
      foo: "bar",
    },
  },
});

error.message; // Oops
error.status; // 500
error.request; // { method, url, headers, body }
error.response; // { url, status, headers, data }
```

### Usage with Octokit

```js
try {
  // your code here that sends at least one Octokit request
  await octokit.request("GET /");
} catch (error) {
  // Octokit errors always have a `error.status` property which is the http response code
  if (error.status) {
    // handle Octokit error
  } else {
    // handle all other errors
    throw error;
  }
}
```
