Custom validation error using Sequelize.js

Is possible to customize the error from the

Sequelize.ValidationError

Model:

  var PaymentType = sequelize.define('payment_type' , {
      id: {
      type: DataTypes.INTEGER(11),
      allowNull: false,
      primaryKey: true,
      autoIncrement: true,
      field: 'id'
    },
    code: {
      type: DataTypes.STRING,
      allowNull: false,
      validate:{
        notEmpty: true
      },
      field: 'code'
    },
    name: {
      type: DataTypes.STRING,
      allowNull: false,
      validate:{
        notEmpty: true
      },
      field: 'name'
    }
  }, {
    timestamps: true,
    paranoid: false,
    underscored: true,
    freezeTableName: true,
    tableName: 'payment_types'
  });

My controller:

  update(req, res) {
      paymentType
        .update(req.body, {
          where: {
            id: req.params.id
          }
        })
        .then( updatedRecords => {
          res.status(200).json(updatedRecords);
        })
        .catch(Sequelize.ValidationError, error => {
          res.status(400).json(error);
        })
        .catch( error => {
          res.status(500).json(error);
        });

  },

The errors I get, are this way:

{
  "name": "SequelizeValidationError",
  "message": "Validation error: Validation notEmpty failed",
  "errors": [
    {
      "message": "Validation notEmpty failed",
      "type": "Validation error",
      "path": "name",
      "value": {},
      "__raw": {}
    }
  ]
}

I want to pass the errors like this(only path and message):

{
"name":"The field cannot be empty",
"other_field":"custom error message"
}

I don't know if I can specified a custom message in the model or I have to create a function to build the errors messages.

If I have to build a function how can I extract the path and customize the message.

Thanks in Advance
