This PR fixes an issue where
404 Not Found
errors were badly handled.Since we always access the
data
property from the response when making an API call, the function must always return an AxiosResponse which wasn't the case with 404s (it returnedundefined
instead).Returning
{ data: undefined }
could have been an option, but I opted to create an error handler specific to not found errors so we can reuse it. Also, it makes it clear where we handle those kinds of errors and I find it much more cleaner.Please, let me know if you have better ideas or any suggestions for improvements!
Also, this makes me think that we should take some time to standardize our response code and make sure that they are all the right ones in each context (e.g. send 404 everywhere a DB call can return empty data and switch from 403 to 401 where it should be the latter)
