Upgrade Information

New HttpException::is function

The new HttpException::is function can be used to check if an exception is of a specific error code.

try {
    // do something
} catch (HttpException $exception) {
    if ($exception->is(CategoryException::FOOTER_CATEGORY_NOT_FOUND)) {
        // handle empty footer or service navigation
    }
} 

204 response for empty footer/service navigation

The response code for empty footer or service navigation has been changed from 400 to 204. This is to prevent unnecessary error logging in the browser console and to be more consistent with the response code for different kind of sales channel navigations.

// show example how to handle in javascript a 404 response for footer navigation
this.client.get('/store-api/navigation/footer-navigation/footer-navigation', {
    headers: this.basicHeaders
}).then((response) => {
    if (response.status === 400) {
        // handle empty footer
    }
});


// after
this.client.get('/store-api/navigation/footer-navigation/footer-navigation', {
    headers: this.basicHeaders
}).then((response) => {
    if (response.status === 204) {
        // handle empty footer
    }
});
