I want to get this function if(thereIsSomeError) //Stop further execution. For example if some error occurs in middleware or callback then I don't want to execute callback (in app.route) and middleware further
I tried this code. But I still think req.err
is true. How can I solve this problem
// My MiddleWare export let Middleware=()=> { return (req,res,next)=>{ next() console.log(req.err) // Problem is here.. i'm still getting req.err(true) if(!req.err){ db.query(`query`,(error, responseData)=>{ if(error) console.log(error) db.query(`second query`,{...// send data to the database}) }) } } } //End point app.post('/addStudent',Middleware, (req, res) => { //setting error to true initially req.err=true; let data = req.body db.query(`query `, data.username, (err, d) => { if (err) return res.json(err) else { // since no Error accured so set the error to false req.err=false; let q = 'query'; let values = {//data here} db.query(q, values, (err, data) => { if (err) return res.status(200).json(err) else return res.status(200).json({ data }) }) } }) })
First of all, middleware runs before the request, not after. If you set
req.err = true
in the POST endpoint, it will remain TRUE, which means your database calls will definitely return an error.Second, to successfully abort the middleware call, use
return
. Returning a function immediately stops it. You can choose to returnnext(err)
to forward the error to a handler, or usereturn res.send('Error')
to terminate the response middleware.
