Is it possible to run "after" middleware even when "before" middleware exits error? about atreugo

Hi @pmahoney,

Do you want to return an error in "before" middleware, skip the view and runs "after" middlewares?

[pmahoney]

Hi @savsgio, yes, that's exactly what I would like to do (either with middleware or some other means).

[savsgio]

In before middleware you could change to

// Set the error response
ctx.ErrorResponse(....)

// Not execute the view
ctx.SkipView()

// Continue to the next middleware
return ctx.Next()

You must call to ctx.Next(), because if you return the error, you stop the request and send the response

[savsgio]

Maybe you don't need to execute all code in the following middlewares, so you could set a flag like ctx.SetUserValue("fail", true) on middleware that fails and check it later when you need:

...

if ctx.UserValue("fail").(bool){
    return ctx.Next()
}

...
