There isnt res.status - how do I forward an error to the client?
Its an easy question. Ive this try/catch:
TypeScript
try {
const userResponse: Models.User<Models.Preferences> = await users.get(id);
const user = JSON.stringify(userResponse);
return res.send(user);
} catch (err) {
log('Appwrite getUser: Error getting user. id: ' + id);
return res.send(err);
}```
Since there is no res.status, what is the best way to send an error to the client? Just res.send it? This will not trigger the try/catch error handling on the client...
thanks 🙂
TL;DR
To forward an error to the client without res.status in an Express application, developers can set the statusCode manually to a 4xx code. A common approach is to use the res.send method to send the error message to the client but keep in mind that this may not trigger the try/catch error handling on the client side.
set statusCode to 4xx
