Catch express bodyParser error

Question

I want to catch the error from the bodyParser() middleware when I send a json object and it is invalid because I want to send a custom response instead of a generic 400 erro

Answer 1

From the answer of @alexander but with an example of usage

app.use((req, res, next) => {
    bodyParser.json({
        verify: addRawBody,
    })(req, res, (err) => {
        if (err) {
            console.log(err);
            res.sendStatus(400);
            return;
        }
        next();
    });
});

function addRawBody(req, res, buf, encoding) {
    req.rawBody = buf.toString();
}
