message as an object about apollo-errors

[theGlenn]

Hey @gandhiamarnadh, could give you us more details with a code sample for example?

[gandhiamarnadh]

this is my usecase, the ui can handle errors gracefully based on severity

export const WrongCredentialsError = createError('WrongCredentialsError', {
  message: {
  content: 'The provided credentials are invalid.',
  severity: 9,
  supportSeverity: 0
  },
});

What you are proposing is too much of change regarding what the GraphQL specification says about message:

Every error must contain an entry with the key message with a string description of the error intended for the developer as a guide to understand and correct the error.

Take a look at it here http://facebook.github.io/graphql/draft/#sec-Errors.

You can add static informations to your errors using createError:

export const WrongCredentialsError = createError('WrongCredentialsError', {
  message: 'The provided credentials are invalid.',
  data: {
    severity: 9,
    supportSeverity: 0
  }
});

Note: The data field will be renamed extensions in V2
