Error Handling

How to use the error handler​

Follow these PR comments

Rather than throwing a new BaseError, create an error in error.constants for this scenario.

Then throw it using the error() function like so:

throw error(AuthError.YourNewAuthError, "Access token not retrieved");

The description property in the error provides more info about the error.

The second arg in the error() is meant to explain the result of the error not happening, which the client can use to determine next steps.

Try not to include too many implementation details in the result string, like "Probably needs a new refresh token to obtain a new access token." We don't want to send unnecessary info to the client. Instead, you can include that info in a debug log.

This'll make it easier to test, typecheck, and prevent bugs
