res.forbidden()
This method is used to send a 403 ("Forbidden") response back down to the client, indicating that a request is not allowed. This usually means the user agent tried to do something it was not allowed to do, like change the password of another user.
Usage
return res.forbidden();
Details
Like the other built-in custom response modules, the behavior of this method is customizable.
By default, it works as follows:
- The status code of the response is set to 403.
- A response body is sent with the string
"Forbidden".
Example
if ( !req.session.userId ) {
return res.forbidden();
}
Notes
- This method is terminal, meaning that it is generally the last line of code your app should run for a given request (hence the advisory usage of
returnthroughout these docs).res.forbidden()(like other userland response methods) can be overridden or modified. It runs the response method defined inapi/responses/forbidden.js. If aforbidden.jsresponse method does not exist in your app, Sails will use the default behavior.
