//just pass the checking as middleware not in the callback//see here I've just passed an array for checking as middleware// as the middleware is an array therefore you can add multiple checks in the arrayrouter.post("/", [check('email', "your custom error message").isEmail()], (req, res) => { const errors = validationResult(req); if (!errors.isEmpty()) { res.render('errorPage', { errors: errors.array() }); //if api caller return res.status(422).json({ errors: errors.array() }); } else{ //here everything is ok to proceed res.render('successPage', { data }); //to api caller res.json({msg : "ok"}) }})
