Django Exception Example

Suppose, we want to get the employee record where id = 12, our view function will look like below. It raises a DoesNotExist exception if the data is not found. This is Django's built-in exception.

// views.py


def getdata(request):  
    data = Employee.objects.get(id=12)  
    return HttpResponse(data)

// urls.py

path('get',views.getdata)

It will show the following exception because no record is available in the database at id 12.

Output:

Django Exceptions

We can handle this exception by using try and except.

// Views.py


def getdata(request):  
    try:  
        data = Employee.objects.get(id=12)  
    except ObjectDoesNotExist:  
        return HttpResponse("Exception: Data not found")  
    return HttpResponse(data);

Output:
