​
Class MemMachineAPIError

The MemMachineAPIError is thrown whenever a request to the MemMachine server fails or when the SDK encounters an unexpected state. It extends the standard JavaScript Error class. Integrating this into your code allows you to differentiate between general network issues and specific MemMachine API failures. 
new MemMachineAPIError(message: string)
Parameters
NameTypeDescription
messagestringA human-readable description of the error.

​
Properties

​
message

The error message string provides details about why the operation failed.

​
name

Always set to "MemMachineAPIError" to allow for easy type checking.

​
stack

The standard V8 stack trace is useful for debugging the location of the failure in your source code.

​
Handling Errors

To provide a robust user experience, we recommend wrapping your SDK calls in a try/catch block and checking for this specific error type. 
import { MemMachineClient, MemMachineAPIError } from '@memmachine/client';

try {
  const projects = await client.getProjects();
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof MemMachineAPIError) {
    // Handle specific API errors (e.g., 401 Unauthorized, 404 Not Found)
    console.error(`MemMachine failed: ${error.message}`);
  } else {
    // Handle unexpected system or network errors
    console.error('An unexpected error occurred:', error);
  }
}
