Custom Error Response

[sdalezman]

Hi -

I was looking through the library and there's currently no way to write a different error other than the html and response code that Sqreen sends.

I would like to show a custom error message on our React app when Sqreen shows an aborted request. I did notice that there were hooks in the internal package to enable those error messages, but maybe I missed it in my quick scan to be able to hook into those hooks?

I would set a custom status code in the Sqreen dashboard but that's not possible (only allows 400-599 status codes).

Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for your feedback. This is indeed a common feature request we have and will solve in the future (still unplanned though).

I was looking through the library and there's currently no way to write a different error other than the html and response code that Sqreen sends.

You are right. Today, you can only set the HTTP status code of the blocking Sqreen page or make it a HTTP redirection to your custom URL in the settings page)

I would like to show a custom error message on our React app when Sqreen shows an aborted request.

So we suggest for now to either:

• redirect to your custom error page,
• or set a custom HTTP status code (indeed in the 400-599 range) that will have the special meaning "sqreen has blocked the request" for your React app so that you can then display whatever you want.

Would it do the job for now?

Yea that makes sense! Adding the status code in that range probably makes the most sense!

Hello @sdalezman Quick update about this: better supporting API services is one of our main goals this year and we should solve this with a better solution (likely the ability to better configure the response along with information).

Thanks for the update!
