Error types, codes, and objects

Learn about error types, codes, and objects.

Change event error object

When DigitalRiver.js detects a problem with an element, its change event returns an error that contains a type, code, and message.

Change Event Error object

{
    "type": "validation_error",
    "code": "invalid_card_number",
    "message": "Your card number is invalid."
}

Create source error object

If a problem occurs during the tokenization request, the createSource method and on source event return an error with a type and an array of errors[], each of which contains a detailed message.

Create Source Error object

{
    "type": "bad_request",
    "errors": [{
           "code": "invalid_parameter",
           "parameter": "owner.firstName",
           "message": "'' is not a valid owner.firstname."
    },
    {
            "code": "currency_unsupported",
            "parameter": "currency",
            "message": "currency 'xyz' is not supported."
    }]
