django rest serialize a string when model object is not defined
0
having trouble serializer a string during a try/except statement.
here i have a endpoint that calls another function refund the response i get back from that function i'm trying to serialize.
class RefundOrder(APIView):
def post(self, request, **kwargs):
print('test')
body_unicode = request.body.decode('utf-8')
body_data = json.loads(body_unicode)
amount = body_data['amount']
tenant = get_object_or_404(Tenant, pk=kwargs['tenant_id'])
refund = SquareGateway(tenant).refund(amount)
serializer = RefundSerializer(refund)
return Response(serializer.data)this is the function that gets called in the post endpoint. i added it in a try statement to handle the errors from square api. if the api call fails, i want to return an error if their is one, else serialize that data.
def refund(self, order, amount, reason):
try:
response = self.client.transaction().create_refund(stuff)
refund = Refund(
order=order,
amount=response.refund.amount_money.amount,
)
refund.save()
return refund
except ApiException as e:
return json.loads(e.body)['errors'][0]['detail']this is the the Refundserialize
class RefundSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = Refund
fields = ('id', 'amount')serializing the string doesn't throw an error it just doesn't return the error message that im returning.Currently it returns a empty serialized object.

As far as I understood, You need a custom API exception which returns a custom message.
So, Initially create a custom exception class as below,
from rest_framework.exceptions import APIException
from rest_framework import status
class GenericAPIException(APIException):
"""
raises API exceptions with custom messages and custom status codes
"""
status_code = status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST
default_code = 'error'
def __init__(self, detail, status_code=None):
self.detail = detail
if status_code is not None:
self.status_code = status_code
Then raise the exception in refund() function.
def refund(self, order, amount, reason):
try:
# your code
except ApiException as e:
raise GenericAPIException({"message":"my custom msg"})answered Nov 21 at 1:26
