Error message

responseData.error_message

What it means

createDiscount POSTs checkout_discounts_path; typia.assert narrows the reply, and the { success: false, error_message } branch throws ResponseError carrying the server's error_message. This is the endpoint's validation channel: the discount failed to save and e.message states why in the server's own words.

Solutions

1. Show e.message next to the offending form field — the server text names the problem.
2. Pre-validate client-side: non-empty code, percent 1–100, at least one product selected when not universal.
3. On a code collision, pick a different code rather than resubmitting.
4. Verify excludedProductIds and selectedProductIds don't intersect.

Example fix

// before
await createDiscount(payload);

// after — catch cheap mistakes before the POST
if (!payload.code.trim()) throw new Error('Enter a code.');
if (payload.discount.type === 'percent' && (payload.discount.value <= 0 || payload.discount.value > 100)) throw new Error('Percent off must be between 1 and 100.');
if (!payload.universal && payload.selectedProductIds.length === 0) throw new Error('Select at least one product.');
await createDiscount(payload);

if (!payload.code.trim()) throw new Error('Enter a code.');
if (payload.discount.type === 'percent' && (payload.discount.value <= 0 || payload.discount.value > 100)) throw new Error('Percent off must be between 1 and 100.');
if (!payload.universal && payload.selectedProductIds.length === 0) throw new Error('Select at least one product.');
if (payload.selectedProductIds.some((id) => payload.excludedProductIds.includes(id))) throw new Error('A product cannot be both selected and excluded.');

const isDiscountFailure = (json: unknown): json is { success: false; error_message: string } =>
  typeof json === 'object' && json !== null && (json as { success?: unknown }).success === false && typeof (json as { error_message?: unknown }).error_message === 'string';

try {
  const result = await createDiscount(payload);
} catch (e) {
  assertResponseError(e);
  showFieldError(e.message); // server's error_message names the offending rule
}

When it happens

Trigger: Offer code already used by another discount; percent value outside 1–100; a non-universal discount with empty selectedProductIds; excluded products overlapping selected ones; currencyCode missing for a universal discount.

Common situations: Copying an existing code name; creating a universal percent discount without a currency; excluding variants while selecting their parent product.
