Getting/reading res.status() value from Express server response

Question

We can the response code with:

res.status(v);

but later on for the same request, how can we check to see if it has been set? I am looking at the Express docs and not seeing how to do something like:

res.getStatus() // => 500

Answer 1

According to Aikon Mogwai you can use res.statusCode.

I tried it and it works!! (in express 4.16)

Answer 2

res.statusCode is the answer and this is a core Node.js thing, it's not particular to Express.
