Your own error pages

If you would like to add your own static pages to generate, edit the src/other.json file and add to it:

  {
    "code" : "903",
    "title": "HTTP Error Code",
    "desc" : "This is a example http error code description.",
    "icon" : "fas fa-info-circle blue"
  }

Description:

• code - specifies the response status codes (eg. 400, 404, 501)
• title - specifies the short title of status code, related to the code key (eg. "Not Found", "Bad Gateway")
• desc - determines the possible reason for the error (eg. "The web server is currently undergoing some maintenance")
• icon - sets a small icon from font-awesome for error code (eg. "fas fa-info-circle green", "fas fa-info-circle red")
