Sails.js handling attribute validation errors

Question

In Sails.js it is possible to use different database connections for models and it is easy to change database (MySQL or MongoDB). The problem arises when I want to display validation errors. These are my codes:

Groups.js model

...
    connection: 'MysqlConnection', //or connection: 'MongodbConnection'
    attributes: {
        id: {
            type: 'string',
            unique: true
        },
        name: {
            type: 'string',
            required: true
        },
...

GroupsController.js controller:

...
//add group to database
Groups.create(group, function (err, data) {
    if (err) {
        console.log(err);
        res.send('Error'); // is it possible to send only validation error
        return;
    } else {
        res.send(data);
    }
});
...

Should I handle each attribute validation error separately, is it possible to send only validation error?

MySQL returns:

Error (E_VALIDATION) :: 1 attribute is invalid ...

MongoDB returns:

Error (E_UNKNOWN) :: Encountered an unexpected error ...

I have the same problem. You can make console.log(req.params.all()); and show what is wrong. In my case, id is undefined. — Javier, Dec 04 '15 at 11:50

you can try:

      Model.catch(function(err) {
        var inspect = Object.keys(err)// [ "reason","invalidAttributes", ".."        ]
        console.log(  Object.keys(err.invalidAttributes) ) // ["name","etc.."]
      })

to catch the error
