API error: ${response.message}

Error message

API error: ${response.message}

What it means

Thrown by the Codefather questions route when the upstream `api.codefather.cn` questions-list endpoint returns `code !== 0`. Same envelope convention as the posts route: 0 = success, non-zero = error with `response.message`. The handler hardcodes `{ current: 1, pageSize: 20, sortField, sortOrder: 'descend' }`. Plain `Error`.

Solutions

1. Read `response.message` for the API's stated reason.
2. Verify `sortConfig.field` against the values the codefather.cn frontend actually sends (network tab).
3. Retry once for transient backend errors.
4. If auth-related, the endpoint may now require a token the route does not provide.

function isCodefatherSuccess(r: unknown): r is { code: 0; data: { records: unknown[] } } {
    return typeof r === 'object' && r !== null && (r as any).code === 0;
}

try {
    const response = await ofetch(url, { method: 'POST', body });
    if (response.code !== 0) {
        throw new Error(`API error: ${response.message}`);
    }
} catch (e) {
    throw new Error(`Codefather questions failed: ${(e as Error).message}`);
}

When it happens

Trigger: The `sortConfig.field` value is not accepted by the API, the endpoint is temporarily degraded, or an anonymous request triggers a login-required business error code.

Common situations: Maintainer changed `sortConfig.field` to an unsupported value; the API tightened auth; transient backend failure.
