this seems fine but you may want to have multiple catch to catch different exceptions that can be thrown..

Catching errors with stripe?
Hi everybody, I'm playing with Stripe in laravel, I have my controller function where I create a customer and a source, now I was wondering how could I catch any error that occurs when trying to create customer/source, I would like to return back an error message telling the user what went wrong.
I added a try catch block but tbh I have never used try catch before, is it the best way to do this? How can I get error message?
This is my controller function:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Stripe\Stripe;
use Stripe\Charge;
use Stripe\Customer;
class StripeController extends Controller
{
public function createCustomerAndSource(Request $request){
try
{
Stripe::setApiKey(config('services.stripe.secret'));
$customer = Customer::create([
"email" => $request->input('email'),
"source" => $request->input('sourceId'),
]);
$user = new User;
$user->name = $request->input('name');
$user->password = bcrypt($request->input('password'));
$user->stripeCustomerId = $customer->id;
$user->save();
Auth::login($user);
return response()->json([
'message' => 'It worked!',
]);
}
catch(Exception $e)
{
return response()->json([
'message' => 'Oops, something went wrong!',
]);
}
}
