Custom HTTP status code response about feathers-rest HOT 4 CLOSED

I think, technically, PUT shouldn't do automatic upserts. You can register your own middleware to set the status after a service though:

app.use('/myservice', service, function(req, res, next) {
  const data = res.data; // service call result

  res.status(getStatusFromData(data))  ;

  next();
});

HI @daffl

Thanks for your response. If we use middleware to set the status after service invoked, then the our code in service could be come more complex. Why dont we let the service to handle it custom status whenever they need?

What would be more complex?

As pointed out in this FAQ the main reason to not let the service itself do it is that they shouldn't know about how they are being accessed. A service can also be used via websockets or locally (or other non-HTTP transport mechanisms in the future) in which case setting an HTTP status code doesn't make any sense.

If you really really need it you can always add the request and response object to params in a middleware but we recommend not to do that.
