Raising error in post save middleware

Just looking for guidance on how to raise errors from a post handler. For example,

doc.post('save', function(d){
  // something goes wrong here!
  throw new Error('whatever');
});

Is that the preferred method in there, since there’s no next or done?

it was announced for 4.x but I don;t see the doc

Ok, that makes sense to me, thanks. On Jun 6, 2014 1:38 PM, “Valeri Karpov” [e-mail] wrote:

Well, if you need to retry, that’s doable within the post save hook itself. The tricky bit is communicating the error. If you want a generic post save hook error handler for a particular model, you can tell your model to listen for a certain event, e.g. postSaveError, and have your post save hook emit postSaveError with the associated err object when an error occurs.
