Exception handling

[iammrsea]

Hello guys,

Please any ideas on how to properly handle exceptions when my app is both an api server
for mobile app and a web application. It's kind of confusing to me on how to make it return
appropriate error pages for the web app and json responses for the api.

Use content negotation. The docs already talk about Validator using content negotiation to choose the appropriate error reporter https://preview.adonisjs.com/guides/validator/error-reporters#content-negotiation. The same can be applied to the entire app. You will have to read about content negotation separately, since it is a widely used concept
