minus-square@madcaesar@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink14•11 days agoHere I am preferring 200, with success boolean / message string… Iike HTTP errors codes for real fuck up’s, if I see 500 somethings fucked in the app, otherwise a standardised json response body seems way easier
minus-square@fuzzzerd@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglish21•11 days agoWhat about both? User supplies bad input? HTTP 400 with response body json describing the error in a standard format?

minus-square@dan@upvote.aulinkfedilink5•11 days agoThrowing exceptions is fine since errors are an exceptional circumstance (not expected during normal use of the app), and you probably want errors to follow a different code path so that they can be logged, alerts triggered if needed, etc.
