Actions: how to set the httpcode of the response?

[bruno.crisafulli]

Hello!
I am trying to disallow oauth/token for users with unverified email, using the following Login/Post login Action:

exports.onExecutePostLogin = async (event, api) => {
  if (!event.user.email_verified) {
    api.access.deny(`Email verification needed.`);
  }
};

The problem is that now the endpoint returns an http code 500 and I cannot find how to change it

Thanks in advance!

It might be worth adding your input to the following feedback request!

Additional options for api.access.deny() in actions to trigger code on the backend

Right now the default behavior is that the access.deny methods redirects the user to the default app where devoplers have to handle the error states. This behavior is totally fine. But it would be cool to have an option to have an additional paramater besides the one provided: success=false and error=message. I think something of something like an “errorCode”. Right now the only discriminator for handling error types in the tool is the error string itself. In my case I have multiple reasons …
