Raising exception

from httperrors import BadRequestError
class View(BaseView):
    def validate(self, request):
        ...
        if not request.body.is_json():
            raise BadRequestError(
                error_message="You must provide a JSON body",
                error_code="NOT_A_JSON_BODY_ERROR",
            )
    def run(self,request):
        ...

Serialization

You will be able to catch this exception somewhere in the flow of your application, map it and serialize it to the corresponding request.

from httperrors import BadRequestError
class BaseView:
def __init__(self):
    try:
        self.validate()
    except BadRequestError as e:
        return json_response(
            status_code=e.status_code,
            body=e.serialize()
        )

Testing

You will be able to easily test your application

from httperrors import BadRequestError
class TestView:
def test_it_raises_bad_request_error_not_json_body(self):
    view = View()
    request = Mock()
    request.body.is_json.return_value = False
    with pytest.raises(BadRequestError) as error:
        view.validate()
        assert error.error_code == "NOT_A_JSON_BODY_ERROR"
