Koa response 404 even though is succesful

I am making an api with Koa:

This is the router handler: (assume I have router.get(…, get) and app.use(router.routes())

async function get(ctx, next){
  console.log(ctx.response)
  let user = await getUser(1);

  ctx.body = {
    data: user || [],
    message: ctx.response.status
  }
}

The api returns the user but I’ve noticed that even tough it matches the route, the data is returned as JSON and on the browser the response is 200, when I log the response is 404.

Is this a bug or more configuration is needed?

I am using Koa 2 (@next)

Figured this out from another thread. Basically, you need to search all your middleware functions and make sure that they are all async functions(Yes! Every single one of them attached to Koa).

In addition to the above answer by @Oyelaking, make sure that none of your middlewares are prematurely returning without data.

In my case, I was calling jwt.verify without returning anything.

module.exports = async (ctx, next) => {
  const token = ctx.cookies.get('token');

  jwt.verify(token, config.auth.jwtSecret, (err, payload) => {
    if (err) {
      ctx.throw(401, {
        data: {
          error: 'UNAUTHORIZED',
          message: 'Invalid token.'
        }
      });
    } else {
      return next();
    }
  });
}

As you can see, I’m just calling jwt.verify() and I only call next() within a callback. This gets separated onto its own ‘thread’ and the middleware returns prematurely with no data on ctx.body.

I solved it by calling jwt.verify() with async/await.

  try {
    await jwt.verify(token, config.auth.jwtSecret);
    return next();
  } catch(err) {
    ctx.throw(401, {
      data: {
        error: 'UNAUTHORIZED',
        message: 'Invalid token.'
      }
    });
  }
