drf-exception-dispatcher 0.1.0

django-rest-framework exception handler build with functools.singledispatch

Django REST framework exception dispatcher

django-rest-framework exception handler build with funtools.singledispatch.

Installation

To use drf-exception-dispatcher simply install it with your package manager, e.g. to with pip:

pip install drf-exception-dispatcher

Then simply use exception_dispatcher.handlers.exception_handler ( or your own exception handler built on exception_dispatcher) in Django's settings REST_FRAMEWORK section:

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
  # ...
  'EXCEPTION_HANDLER': 'exception_dispatcher.handlers.exception_handler',
  # ...
}

Configuration

Following settings are present to make default exception_dispatcher handler configurable:

• EXCEPTION_DISPATCHER_SET_ROLLBACK (defaults to True) - indicate if set_rollback should be called before returning response from exception handler
• EXCEPTION_DISPATCHER_API_EXCEPTION_PARSER (defaults to exception_dispatcher.parsers.parse_rest_framework_api_exception') - import path to callable that is used to translate occurred exception to response data

Usage

To add new handlers to exception_dispatchers simply use dispatcher's register() method, e.g. to add handler of SuspiciousOperation exceptions:

from exception_dispatcher.dispatchers import exception_dispatcher
from exception_dispatcher.types import ContextType
from rest_framework.response import Response


@exception_dispatcher.register
def handler_suspicious_operation(
    exception: SuspiciousOperation,
    context: ContextType,
) -> Response | None:
    """Handle Django's `SuspiciousOperation` exceptions."""
    # custom ``exception` handler logic goes here
    return None
