Convert to Laravel exception?

Question

Currently in a package, it has HttpException exception

namespace DigitalOceanV2\Exception;

class HttpException extends \RuntimeException implements ExceptionInterface
{

}

Is there a way to to convert it Laravel HttpResponseException uses without touching that exception from the package?

You can catch that exception and rethrow it.

In your app/Exceptions/Handler.php file.

public function render($request, Exception $exception)
{
    if ($exception instanceof \DigitalOceanV2\Exception) {
        throw new HttpResponseException;
    }

    return parent::render($request, $exception);
}

Edit: I haven't tested this but according to the exception class. You can pass a response as a parameter to the constructor. So you should be able to do this:

$response = response($exception->getMessage());
throw new HttpResponseException($response);

Will it pass the message to HttpResponseException ?

@Jeff thanks for the Answer. Just wondering if there a way to return json response via HttpResponseException?

Instead of rethrowing the exception, you can simply return a response from the render() method. E.g. if ($e instance of Exception) { return response(['json' => 'data']); }

Maybe this is late, but at least on Laravel 8+ there is a \App\Exceptions\Handler::report method that I think would be more appropriate to override and put such logic - e.g. converting the exception to a different/custom class.

In fact render suggests how to render it, not what to do with it.

public function report(Throwable $e)
{
    if ($e instanceof \DigitalOceanV2\Exception) {
        throw new HttpResponseException;
    }

    return parent::report($e);
}
