Laravel 4 display custom error pages only in production

Question

Do I understand right: if I want to display custom pages for 403, 404 etc. errors I should check whether app.debug is set to false:

if (!Config::get('app.debug')) {
    App::error(function(Exception $exception, $code)
    {
        switch ($code) {
            case 403:
                return Response::view('errors.403', array(), 403);

            case 404:
                return Response::view('errors.404', array(), 404);

            case 500:
                return Response::view('errors.500', array(), 500);

            default:
                return Response::view('errors.default', array(), $code);
        }
        Log::error($exception);
    });
}

Because, if I set App::error handler without checking app.debug I'll always get these custom pages instead of detailed info

Am I right?

You could just move the if statement into the app::error function. So that the error is always logged, and the custom error page is only shown when app.debug is false.

App::error(function(Exception $exception, $code)
{
    Log::error($exception);

    if (!Config::get('app.debug')) {
        return Response::view('errors.index', $code);
    }
});
