Bolt-js: How to send error message back to modal

[jacklein]

Description

I have a view_submission endpoint in my bolt app, and I want to send an error back to the modal if the user selected a date in the past on the modal's date picker. The slack api docs suggest responding to the payload with a response_action of errors, however I am thoroughly confused how to do this.

My bolt code currently looks like:

app.view('modal', async ({ ack }) => {
 ack()
 // send errors back
}

If anyone could help or point to any documentation it would be greatly appreciated.

I see that this issue creates a workaround for typescript, but I'm not sure how to adjust it for javascript?

Thanks for flagging this. If I understand it correctly, this seems to relate to https://github.com/slackapi/bolt/issues/305

Yes thank you! Also to be clear, as I said in #305 , I'm not using typescript
