Handling Operational Errors

Hi,I have code that updates data in a database (I'm using Sequelize as ORM) and passes the status of update request to the client (I have vuejs on the front end). The code works for my purposes but I would like to know if there are 'better' ways to handle error cases.my code below:app.patch('/api/device/updateshipment', function(req, res) { Device.update({ so_number: req.body.so_number, shipment_date: req.body.shipment_date }, { where: { serial_number: req.body.serial_number } }) .then(function(updatedDevices) { if(updatedDevices[0]) { res.status(200).end('Shipment details updated'); } else { res.status(404).end('Serial Number not found'); } }) .catch(function(err) { console.log(err) }) In the front end, the update status message (e.g. 'Shipment details updated') is then displayed to the user.How would I make use of the Error object in the case above (and is using Error object in this case considered best practice? Why?). Any other recommendations welcome!Thanks in advance!!
