How to Handle, Return & Test HTTP 400

Status: 400 400 Bad Request
server.js / handler.ts
// Express.js Server Response
app.get('/api/resource', (req, res) => {
  // Returning 400 400 Bad Request
  return res.status(400).json({
    error: '400 Bad Request',
    statusCode: 400,
    timestamp: new Date().toISOString()
  });
});

// Client-side fetch error check
const response = await fetch('/api/resource');
if (response.status === 400) {
  console.warn('Received HTTP 400 400 Bad Request');
}
💡 Pro Tip: Ensure appropriate error handling middleware or proxy interceptors are enabled so client applications receive structured JSON responses for HTTP 400.
