Custom Status

Using a custom status can give the user more insight on your service e.g. if it is undergoing maintenance etc.

When using script.js you can make a response from your server route whose URL is defined in data.json like this:

This example is written in Node.js using express

const express = require('express');
const app = express();

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
    res.set('Content-Type', 'application/json');
    res.send('{ status: { statusText: "disabled", color: "orange" } }');
});

app.listen(3000, () => console.log("Server running on port 3000"));

Custimzable values:

When using a custom script you can handle the colors yourself and therefore enter any String value.

Note that only statusText and color will be passed to the response to the client.

A instruction on how to destructure the custom status from the API response on the client can be found here.
