Handle not found from API call on server-side

Hi,

I’m trying to figure out how to return 404 server-side when the id cannot be found in the API. The route is looking something like this /:id. I know this example app does not cover that case but maybe all you smart people here have some pointers? Given the solution I’ll be happy to add it here.

Cheers, K

When your application requests a record, the JSON API responds with an error code like 404, and possibly additional information like a “Record not found”-message. It is up to the client to implement how this information is displayed to the user. Setup a route like /users/:id in the routes file on the server and have the linked component deal with the scenarios of both the record being available and not being available.

Are you referring to a route that can’t be mapped to an action? That defaults to 404 here. If you want to return a 404 from an api action you can pass a status like this:

export default function action( req ) {
    return new Promise( ( resolve, reject ) => { 
        getRecord( id, ( err, data ) => {
            if( err )
                return reject( err )
            if( ! data )
                return reject({ status : 404 })

            resolve( data )
        })
    })
}
