I have set up an Express app with a all('/', ...) handler on the main path. Within this handler, I am checking for a failure flag and need to make a decision on whether to proceed to the next handler or directly route the request to the /error endpoint without redirection, in case of issues like a failed DB connection.
Is there a way for Express to automatically send the request to the /error route, or do I have to explicitly call the handler for that specific route?
app = express()
var errors = ...
app.all('/', (req, res, next) => {
if(errors) {
// route to /error
} else {
next()
}
})
app.get('/error', (req, res, next) => { ... })
