In an Express.js route, you typically catch validation errors in an error handling middleware. Check if `err` has an `errors` property (indicating a Mongoose validation error). If so, you can iterate through `err.errors` to extract and format the error messages for display to the user. Consider sending a 400 Bad Request status code.
