Respond with error in hapi middleware

[dave-irvine]

Hi,

I can't find any documentation that tells me how to reply with an error when using the hapi middleware. Ideally I would use Boom, as this is what I am used to with hapi.

Usually my route handler would look like:

function (request, reply) {
        return reply(Boom.badRequest('Unsupported parameter'));
}

however with swagger-node-runner my route handlers have to be of the req,res variety, which has no Boom integration.

I suppose I could do

res.status(400).send('Unsuported parameter');

but that kind of negates the usefulness of Boom.

Any ideas?

Turns out I can't do

res.status(400).send('Unsupported parameter');

because the middleware is not chainable like express. It's a confusing mashup of the two.

[dave-irvine]

res.statusCode = 400;
res.end({
  message: 'Unsupported parameter',
});

works, but is quite ugly.
