Improve Error Handling in API Handlers

[kfahad5607]

Currently, there is no error handling in the API handlers. When something goes wrong, the server returns an Internal Server Error without providing meaningful feedback to the user.

Few Examples

1. Adding an Existing User to a Team

   • Action: Attempt to add a user who is already a member of a team
   • Result: Unique constraint fails
   • Screenshot:

• Deleting a Non-Existent User from a Team

  • Action: Attempt to delete a user who is not in the team
  • Result: Record does not exist
  • Screenshot:

• Getting User Teams with an Invalid User ID

  • Action: Attempt to fetch teams for an invalid user ID
  • Result: Invalid uuid format
  • Screenshot:

Expected Results

The API should handle errors gracefully and return meaningful, user-friendly error messages, such as:

• For unique constraint violations: "User already exists in the team."
• For non-existent user deletions: "User not found in the team."
• For invalid user ID requests: "Invalid user ID."

Additional Notes

These are just a few examples of the endpoints affected. There are many more endpoints that currently lack proper error handling.

I would love to work on this issue. Please assign it to me if possible.

Hi @N2D4,

Thank you for assigning this issue to me. Are there any specific instructions or things I should keep in mind before I start working on it?

Queries Regarding Error Handling for Route Handlers

Few endpoints already have proper error handling:

1. Adding an Existing User to a Team

2. Getting User Teams with an Invalid User ID

However, some endpoints do not have error handling:

1. Deleting a Non-Existent User from a Team

Queries:

• Do I need to update anything in the endpoints that already have error handling?
• Should the endpoints that currently lack error handling implement it in the same manner as the existing error-handled endpoints?
