Is there a way to NOT show an HTML error from an API?

The recommended way of handling errors in Nitro/API-land is to use

createError

createError

. When hit directly, these show a full html error page, or if hit with

accept: application/json

accept: application/json

, show a json payload with stack info.

I'd like to return a simple message on-error vs all that. It would seem the only option I have is to use

setResponseStatus

setResponseStatus

and return

whatever

whatever

directly from the api vs passing something to

createError

createError

.

IMHO, no matter what, an api shouldn't be returning full page html errors.
