How can one create global, custom looks for their 404/505 error pages using Play?
In documentation for 2.3.x:
When an exception occurs in your application, the onError operation will be called. The default is to use the internal framework error page:
import play.api._
import play.api.mvc._
import play.api.mvc.Results._
import scala.concurrent.Future
object Global extends GlobalSettings {
override def onError(request: RequestHeader, ex: Throwable) = {
Future.successful(InternalServerError(
views.html.errorPage(ex)
))
}
}
Source: https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.3.x/ScalaGlobal#Providing-an-application-error-page
You'll need a onHandlerNotFound
handler alongside the above onError
handler:
override def onHandlerNotFound(request: RequestHeader) = {
Future.successful(NotFound(views.html.errors.notFoundPage()))
}
Source: this is not documented but have a look in the GlobalSettings
trait definition.
The source for the default error template in production for 2.3.x can be read here:
