Extend global Error
You can tell TypeScript that for your use case Error
might have a status
on it:
interface Error {
status?: number;
}
So you get:
interface Error {
status?: number;
}
var err = new Error('Not Found');
err.status = 404;
Alternative
Put the status on the res
and send the err
. For Example:
// catch 404 and forward to error handler
app.use(function (req, res, next) {
var err = new Error('Not Found');
res.status(404); // using response here
next(err);
});
