How do I send a custom error message from Node, and display it with catch?

I'm trying to send a custom error message from node, receive it on the frontend, and display it.



On server I'm trying to do:



res.status(500).send('Something broke!')


And on client I'm doing:



try {
const res = await axios.post(`${API_URL}/profiles/signup`, credentials)
} catch(err) {
console.log("Sign up error:", err)
}


What I want is to get something like this in my console:



Sign up error: Something broke!


but I'm getting:



Sign up error: Error: Request failed with status code 500
at createError (createError.js:16)
at settle (settle.js:18)
at XMLHttpRequest.handleLoad (xhr.js:77)


How do I access the custom message I'm sending?

          throw new Error({code: 500, message: 'Sign up error: Something broke!'});
          throw send your error to the catch block automatically.
