This is one of the default Server Responses included in a new Sails project.
It contains the logic for what should happen when you wish to issue an http 500 response. It can be issued from anywhere you have access to the express res
object by calling res.serverError.
Feel free to edit this file to suit your needs. You can also create a custom response using our sails-generate-custom-response
generator.
See the Response section of Reference Documentation for more info.
/**
* 500 (Server Error) Response
*
* Usage:
* return res.serverError();
* return res.serverError(err);
* return res.serverError(err, view);
* return res.serverError(err, redirectTo);
*
* NOTE:
* If something throws in a policy or controller, or an internal
* error is encountered, Sails will call `res.serverError()`
* automatically.
