Expose RequestError
This PR exposes RequestError
which is the error class used by any of the octokit request functions:
try {
await octokit.rest.git.getRef({
owner,
repo,
ref,
});
} catch (err: unknown) {
if (err instanceof RequestError && err.status === 404) {
// ...
}
}
It is important that this is exposed by this library because it originates from the @octokit/request-error
package, however if the user installs the wrong version of @octokit/request-error
that does not match the one imported by this library via @octokit/core
then you are unable to use instanceof
checks to narrow this error.
As an end user of this library it is not easy to keep these versions in lockstep as you do not import @octokit/core
directly and this library does not version in lockstep with @octokit/core
so it is greatly simplified and less error prone if this library just exports the specific class it already uses.
