How to extend AdonisJS Response class?

When a user creates a post in my RESTful application, I want to set the response status code to 201.

I followed the documentation and created start/hooks.js as follows:

'use strict'                                                                                                                      

const { hooks } = require('@adonisjs/ignitor')                                                                                                   

hooks.after.httpServer(() => {                                                                                                                   
  const Response = use('Adonis/Src/Response')                                                                                                    

  Response.macro('sendStatus', (status) => {                                                                                                     
    this.status(status).send(status)                                                                                                             
  })                                                                                                                                             
})

Now in my PostController.js, I have this:

 async store( {request, response, auth} ) {
   const user = await auth.current.user
   response.sendStatus(201)
 }

But I am getting 500 HTTP code at this endpoint. What am I doing wrong?

I noticed when I run Response.hasMacro('sendStatus') I get false.

In fact adonis already have this out of the box for all response codes...

Just write response.created(.....).

You can also use for example: .badRequest(), .notFound(), etc... More info on: https://adonisjs.com/docs/4.1/response#_descriptive_methods

I solved this problem yesterday:

hooks.after.httpServer(() => {                                                                                                                   
  const Response = use('Adonis/Src/Response')                                                                                                    
  Response.macro('sendStatus', function (status) => {                                                                                                     
    this.status(status).send(status)                                                                                                             
  })                                                                                                                                             
})
