I have a login service which uses api express to connect with my backend rest service. My question is, it always generate a success even when the http response is 401. see image from console:
I imagined that a 401 response would cause the error javascript to fire not the success one.
Can you explain this?
If this is correct, can I force an error condition or do i need to write some javascript to test the response body and call the relevant navigation from there?
Ok I got round the problem using the following js in the success response:
pre// check for 401 response
var responseBody = this.response.body.BODY;
console.log('response body = ',responseBody);
if(responseBody.error) {
var errorCode = responseBody.error.code;
var errorMessage = responseBody.error.message;
alertError(errorCode + ', ' +errorMessage)
} else {
Alert('Succesful Login');
Apperyio.navigateTo('Menu', {transition:'slide', reverse:false});
}/pre
However, i would still like to know why error 401 is still a success rather than an error, just so i know why it is happening this way.
Hello Terry,
By default, API Express service returns a static value=200.
But you can use there a dynamic value, using parameter: 
Great, Thanks
