The current uses of the bot don't require waiting for a response from discord that the message has been sent. This PR changes the default behaviour of api routes to respond with a
202 Created
right after a request to send a message to discord has started without waiting for it to complete. An additional, optional, boolean parameterincludeDetails
can be passed in the JSON body of the request if the caller requires to wait for the discord message to be created and receive the id of the created message back.An additional change made in this PR is that the errorHandler middleware now logs the errors using
console.error
(to be replaced with winston) and it responds to the client with the error only after checkingres.headersSend
i.e. it won't sent a response if a route has already done so.TODO
