A standard connect middleware is provided. The middleware intercepts Problem objects thrown as exceptions and serializes them appropriately in the HTTP response while setting the Content-Type
response header to application/problem+json
import express from 'express'
import Problem from 'api-problem'
import Middleware from 'api-problem/lib/middleware'
let app = express()
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
throw new Problem(403)
})
app.use(Middleware)
