HTTP errors

If something goes wrong and it’s the client’s fault, you can raise one of the errors in banjo.http. This will sstop execution of your view function and instead return a response with a HTTP status code indicating what went wrong. You can initialize the error with a string explaining the issue. For example, you might add another view to app/views.py:

from banjo.http import Forbidden

@route_get('secrets')
def do_not_show_the_secrets(params):
    raise Forbidden("Nice try.")

Again, from the command line:

$ http GET localhost:8000/secrets
HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden

{
    "error": "Nice try."
}

The following errors are available in banjo.http:

• BadRequest (400)

• Forbidden (403)

• NotFound (404)

• NotAllowed (405)

• ImATeapot (418)
