I'm trying to use the before Remote hook in loopback to check an user token before the call of my remote method, but the thing is that I can only return a javascript Error, like these.
"error": {
"statusCode": 401,
"name": "Error",
"message": ""
}
This is the code that i'm using in the before remote.
Model.beforeRemote('method', function (context, unused, next) {
let token = Model.app.models.Token;
let id = context.args.Id;
let date = moment();
Rx.Observable.fromPromise(token.find({
where: {
and: [
{ id: id, },
{ expiration: { gt: date } }
]
}
})).subscribe((token => {
if (token.length > 0) {
next();
} else {
let err = new Error();
err.status = 401;
delete err.stack;
return next()
}
}))
});
And I need a "custom" response that isn't an error, something like these.
{
"success": false,
"data": {
"service": "self",
"operation": "rest",
"code": "unauthorized"
},
"message": "Invalid token"
}
I tried with the after Remote hook and I can change the response to get something like that, but I want to get a quicker response in the case that the token is invalid.
Is there any way to achieve this with the before hook? or I had to use after hook?
Thanks
