Stop request execution at certain point on Golang iris

Question

I have written a service I'm currently facing an issue where I want to stop the request cycle at a certain point and a return something to client side. I have used methods like ctx.EndRequest() ctx.StopExecution() but it keeps execute until the handler method finishes.

if aff.Status != StatActive {
        //Affiliate Not active exception
        err := errors.NewAffiliateNotActiveError(ctx)
        pc, fn, line, _ := runtime.Caller(1)
        log.Printf("[error] in %s[%s:%d] %v", runtime.FuncForPC(pc).Name(), fn, line, err)
        ctx.Write([]byte(err.Error()))
        ctx.StopExecution()

    }

Like above when that condition triggered I want to stop execution equivalent of a throw exception. How can I achieve that?

You need a return statement if you want the handler execution to stop.
