How can I handle errors in function views effectively?

You can use try-except blocks to catch exceptions and return appropriate error responses in your function views.

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 = 1 / 0  # This will raise a ZeroDivisionError
        return HttpResponse('Result: {}'.format(result))
    except ZeroDivisionError:
        return HttpResponse('Error: Division by zero!')

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

What about logging the errors?

You can use Python's logging module to log errors. Just add a logging statement in the except block to record the error details.

Is there a way to handle multiple types of exceptions?

Yes, you can catch multiple exceptions by specifying them in a tuple in the except clause, like this:

except (ZeroDivisionError, ValueError) as e:
    # Handle the error
