Error handler is always executed

[henryjw]

Does this library support adding error-handling middleware via router.use()? I'm trying to create a generic handler for a router, but it's being executed before the route handlers.

Example:

app.get('/api/data', function dataHandler(req, res, next) {
    // Process request
});


// Always executes before `dataHandler()`. 
app.use(function errorHandler(err, req, res, next) {
    // Handle error
});

Hi @henryjw , handlers registered via the .use method will always run before route handlers. The router interface just proxies the behaviour of the restify server. The .use method on the server is meant to add handlers which execute before route handlers. From what I understand, you wish to add a post route handler?

Thanks for the quick response @ukayani. Yup, a post route handler is basically what I'm looking for. Is there a way to implement that with this library?

At the moment there is no such feature. It should not be too hard to add it though. I'll try to take a look over the weekend.

Thanks!
