Parameters

Option Type Description

objectOrError

any

string or object describing the error condition.


Optional. Default is `undefined`.

descriptionOrOptions

string | HttpExceptionOptions

either a short description of the HTTP error or an options object used to provide an underlying error cause


Optional. Default is `'Unprocessable Entity'`.

Examples

    
`throw new UnprocessableEntityException()`

Usage Notes

The HTTP response status code will be 422.

The objectOrError argument defines the JSON response body or the message string.
The descriptionOrOptions argument contains either a short description of the HTTP error or an options object used to provide an underlying error cause.

By default, the JSON response body contains two properties:

statusCode: this will be the value 422.
message: the string 'Unprocessable Entity' by default; override this by supplying a string in the objectOrError parameter.

If the parameter objectOrError is a string, the response body will contain an additional property, error, with a short description of the HTTP error. To override the entire JSON response body, pass an object instead. Nest will serialize the object and return it as the JSON response body.
