API

Instead of using ctx.body= to send JSON responses, use one of the functions in ctx.

ctx.success(data)

  • data: Optional response data.
app.use(async function (ctx, next){
  ctx.success({
    name: 'Samora',
    sex: 'Male',
    nationality: 'Ghanaian'
  });
});
 
// JSON response
// {
//  "status": "success",
//  "data": {
//     "name": "Samora",
//     "sex": "Male",
//     "nationality": "Ghanaian"
//   }
// }

ctx.fail(errors)

  • errors: Required error(s) data.
app.use(async function (ctx, next){
  ctx.fail({
    name: 'Name is required.'
  });
});
 
// JSON response
// {
//  "status": "fail",
//  "data": {
//     "name": "Name is required."
//   }
// }

ctx.error(message, data, code)

  • message: Required error message or Error object.
  • data: Optional error data.
  • code: Optional error code.
app.use(async function (ctx, next){
  ctx.error('Something went wrong.', null, 8);
});
 
// JSON response
// {
//  "status": "error",
//  "message": "Something went wrong.",
//  "code": 8
// }

ctx.jsend(err, data, code)

Sends a ctx.success response if no err is passed. Sends a ctx.error response if err is passed.

  • err: Error object or message string or null.
  • data: Optional
  • code: Optional
app.use(async function (ctx, next){
  ctx.jsend(null, {
    name: 'Samora',
    sex: 'Male',
    nationality: 'Ghanaian'
  });
});
 
// JSON response
// {
//   "status": "success",
//   "data": {
//     "name": "Samora",
//     "sex": "Male",
//     "nationality": "Ghanaian"
//   }
// }
app.use(async function (ctx, next){
  ctx.jsend(Error('Something went wrong.'));
});
 
// JSON response
