How can I handle errors in Django views?

How can I handle errors in Django views?

In Django, you can handle errors in views using try-except blocks. This allows you to catch exceptions and respond accordingly.

Can you give me an example of using try-except in a Django view?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from django.http import HttpResponse

def my_view(request):
    try:
        # Your code here
        result = 10 / 0  # This will raise a ZeroDivisionError
        return HttpResponse(f'Result: {result}')
    except ZeroDivisionError:
        return HttpResponse('Error: Division by zero!')

This catches the ZeroDivisionError and returns a user-friendly message.

What about logging errors in Django?

You can log errors in Django by configuring the logging settings in your settings.py file. Use the logging module to log exceptions.

Is there a way to create custom error pages in Django?

Yes, you can create custom error pages by defining templates for HTTP error codes like 404 and 500. Just create 404.html and 500.html in your templates directory.
