I am writing an app in django rest-framework: My views.py:
class tagList(generics.ListCreateAPIView,APIView):
model = tags
serializer_class = getAllTagsDetailSerializer
def get_queryset(self):
print "q1"
print self.request.QUERY_PARAMS.get('tag', None)
print self.request.user
print "q1"
if tags.objects.filter(tag='burger')!= None:
return tags.objects.filter(tag='burger')
else:
content = {'please move along': 'nothing to see here'}
return Response(content, status=status.HTTP_404_NOT_FOUND)
I want to return error status code if query returns None. But the problem if i try to set Response it throws error:
Exception Type: TypeError
Exception Value:
object of type 'Response' has no len()
Exception Location: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/core/paginator.py in _get_count, line 53
Else if query result is Not None it is working. How can i set status code on Django rest-framework.
