I have successfully been able to create users using a custom form and the Signup endpoint via Axios when working on my React project recently.
My question is this: Is there any good way to see if a username is taken before a signup occurs, or consequently…is there a way to discern that specific problem via the result from the Axios request?
I believe (from what I have tried) you get a 400 “bad_request” error when this is attempted.
Do I just need to assume that all of these types of errors are for that reason? Or would I need to check (somehow) for the existence of said user BEFORE attempting to create the user in order to handle this specific error?
Thanks!
