# Method name: notFound(message: string)

# Method package: wixRouter

# Method menu location: wixRouter --> notFound

# Method Link: https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/events-service-plugins/routers/service-plugins/wix-router/not-found.md

# Method Description:

Returns a response with a status code 404 (Not Found) and instructs the router to show a 404 page.

The `notFound()` function is used in the [`router()`](#router), [`beforeRouter()`](#beforeRouter),
and [`afterRouter()`](#afterRouter) hooks to indicate that the requested page
was not found. Optionally, you can pass a message that otherwise defaults to
"Not Found".



# Method Code Examples:

*** Note: do not assume any prop names or enum values other than the ones in the example.

## Create a not found response

```javascript
import {notFound} from 'wix-router';

export function myRouter_Router(request) {

  return notFound();
}
```
