Throwing web exceptions like in AioHTTP

Throwing web exceptions like in AioHTTP

What and why?

In AioHTTP you can raise any response as exception (this is very cool). But Django can raise only 3+1 web exceptions.

• 400 SuspiciousOperation

• 403 PermissionDenied

• 404 Http404

• 500 Any other non catched exception

This package allow you to raise as exception any of HTTP response.

Documentation

The full documentation is at https://web-exceptions.readthedocs.io.

Quickstart

Install Django Web Exceptions:

pip install django-web-exceptions

Add it to your MIDDLEWARE:

# settings.py
MIDDLEWARE = (
    # ...
    'web_exceptions.middleware.WebExceptionsMiddleware',
    # ...
)

Features

Import exceptions and raise anywhere

# views.py
from web_exceptions import exceptions

# ...

def index(request):
    """ Simple view raise redirectexception """
    raise exceptions.HTTPMovedPermanently('/foo')

Also you can customize any kind of exception status code as custom handler, defined in urls.py like django error handlers .

# urls.py
from myapp import views

handler300 = <callable view>
handler400 = <callable view>
handler<status_code> = <callable view>

For more example see example proj
