How can I handle errors in Django URL redirects?

In Django, you can handle errors in URL redirects by using the redirect() function along with error handling logic. You can catch exceptions and redirect users to a custom error page.

Can you show me an example of that?

Sure! You can use a try-except block around your redirect logic. For example:

from django.shortcuts import redirect

try:
    return redirect('some_view')
except Exception as e:
    return redirect('error_view')

What if I want to log the error before redirecting?

You can log the error using Django's logging framework. Just add a logging statement in the except block:

import logging
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

try:
    return redirect('some_view')
except Exception as e:
    logger.error(f'Error redirecting: {e}')
    return redirect('error_view')
