# TIL: How to get the HTTP status code from a Flask errorhandler exception

When you're using Flasks [`errorhandler`](https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/1.1.x/api/#flask.Flask.errorhandler) decorator for a specific HTTP status code it's clear what HTTP
status code the response will be:

```python
from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.errorhandler(404)
def on_not_found(error):
    return "This is a 404 for sure!", 404
```

However I didn't know how to write an error handler that handles
all HTTP status calls, `abort(XYZ)` calls, and just general
exceptions being raised from the stack. This is what I ended up with:

```python
from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.errorhandler(Exception)
def on_error(error):
    return "This is an error!", ...?
```

but I wasn't sure how to get the status code from the `HTTPException` that
Flask was going to raise (another thing to note is that `HTTPException` is
from `werkzeug`, not from Flask). I tried `status_code` and `status`, to no avail
and then ran `dir()` on the error which revealed `code` as the property to use.
This was my final function without a ton of guards since it's for a quick project:

```python
from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.errorhandler(Exception)
def on_error(error):
    # Errors raised from places besides abort() or routing failures
    # will have a status code of 500 for internal error.
    status_code = getattr(error, "code", 500)
    return f"HTTP Error {status_code}", status_code
```
