Sails.js handling attribute validation errors

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 ...

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
