We have been using Hapi as a framework for our Node apps. Overall I like it, but that doesn’t mean it’s perfect.
In the request lifecycle, any error from validation will respond with 400 Bad Request
. The problem is loading prerequisites happens much later, and if we’re trying to update a resource that doesn’t exist, we really want 404 Not Found
.
We can load the entity in the validation function, but even returning a 404
error object give a 400
response.
It would also be nice to do some authorization between prerequisites and handlers, but there is no extension point.
