## What is *django-http-exceptions*?
It is raisable exceptions for your django views.
## What is it good for?
It makes this
````py
def some_function():
raise SomeError
def view(request):
try:
response = some_function()
except SomeError:
response = HttpResponse(status=403)
return response
````
into this
````py
from django_http_exceptions import HTTPExceptions
def some_function():
raise HTTPExceptions.FORBIDDEN # HTTPExceptions.from_status(403)
def view(request):
return some_function()
````
meaning that is saves you from boilerplate code.
It also allows you to hook default views to **all possible http response codes**, meaning that you can use more than the 5-6 django provided error handlers.
## How to use it?
Just two middlewares, lower the better, and you are done.
````python
MIDDLEWARE = [
...,
'django_http_exceptions.middleware.ExceptionHandlerMiddleware',
'django_http_exceptions.middleware.ThreadLocalRequestMiddleware',
...
]
````
And that is it, you are ready to raise your http exceptions.
## What else?
#### `HTTPExceptions`
Base class that provides all the exceptions to be raised.
#### `HTTPExceptions.from_status(status)`
In case you don't want to write
`HTTPExceptions.REQUEST_HEADER_FIELDS_TOO_LARGE`
You can just write
`HTTPExceptions.from_status(431)`
#### `HTTPExceptions.BASE_EXCEPTON`
The base exception for all http exception
#### `HTTPExceptions.register_base_exception(exception)`
Given that `exception` is a class that inherits from `HTTPException` you can customize the exceptions.
Keep in mind that `HTTPException` is an `Exception` subclass itself.
#### `HTTPExceptions.BASE_EXCEPTION.with_response(response)`
This is the method for raising exceptions with a response. You can put any response in this method while raising your
error.
Let's say you have a view named `index`, then this example would return what `index` function would return, but with
status code `410`
`HTTPExceptions.GONE.with_response(index(request))`
#### `HTTPExceptions.BASE_EXCEPTION.with_content(content)`
This method allow to raise an **HTTPException** with a custom message (can be either `str` or `bytes`).
For instance, `HTTPExceptions.NOT_FOUND.with_content("The user named 'username' could not be found")`
would return something equivalent to `HttpResponse("The user named 'username' could not be found", status=404)`.
#### `HTTPExceptions.BASE_EXCEPTION.with_json(json_data)`
This method allow to raise an **HTTPException** with a custom json response,
`json_data` can be anything that `JsonResponse` accepts.
#### `HTTPExceptions.BASE_EXCEPTION.register_default_view(view)`
`view` is a function that takes only one argument, `request` when you register a default view to an error class with
`HTTPExceptions.NOT_FOUND.register_defaul_view(view)` when `HTTPExceptions.GONE` is raised it returns the view function,
but again, with `404` status code. If the error has been raised with `.with_response`, that is used instead.
#### `get_current_request`
This function gets you the current request anywhere in your django application, making it easier for your dynamic error
responses to be created, like in the `HTTPExceptions.GONE.with_response(index(request))` example.
#### `ExceptionHandlerMiddleware`
Just there for to exception handling to work.
#### `ThreadLocalRequestMiddleware`
Just there for to `get_current_request` to work.
#### `errorify(error)`
Decorator that turns a view (both class and function) into an http error
````python
@errorify(HTTPExceptions.PAYMENT_REQUIRED)
class Subscribe(TemplateView):
template = SUBSCRIBE_TEMPLATE
````
