In spring i use define my own class extending Exception annotate it with @ResponseStatus to throw it in specific situation to return to user specific status code and error message. I'd like to do something similar in Express.js in Node.js. Is it possible?

Now I use Q to return rejected promise from loginService and return explicitly response code and message.

router.post('/log-in', jsonParser, (req, res) => {
  loginService.authenticate(req.body.userLogin, req.body.userPassword)
    .then((successLogin)=>{
    res.json(successLogin);
    }, function (error) {
      res.status(error.code).json({message: error.reason});
    })
});

but my goal is to handle only resolved promises and throw whenever an error occurred. something like

router.post('/log-in', jsonParser, (req, res) => {
  loginService.authenticate(req.body.userLogin, req.body.userPassword)
    .then((successLogin)=>{
    res.json(successLogin);
    })
});

and I imagine service throwing like

if(!user) new Error(404, 'Cannot find user')

and response returned to user would have desired code and message. Is it possible to implement it in Node? Would it be efficient?
