I'm making a small web interface running on a raspberry pi at home. It hosts a little REST api as well as some web pages.
I'm using Flask, and have a route '/'
for the index, and some routes for the REST api '/api/v1.0/tasks'
.
@app.route('/')
def index():
return render_template('index.html')
@app.route('/gnodes/api/v1.0/tasks', methods=['GET'])
def get_tasks():
return jsonify({'tasks': tasks})
@app.route('/gnodes/api/v1.0/tasks/<int:task_id>', methods=['GET'])
def get_task(task_id):
task = [task for task in tasks if task['id'] == task_id]
if not task:
abort(404)
return jsonify({'task': task[0]})
However, abort(404)
returns a html error page, which is fine for normal pages, but I wanted to return a json when a non-existing task is requested.
So I've overridden the errorhandler:
@app.errorhandler(404)
def not_found(error):
return make_response(jsonify({'error': 'Not found'}), 404)
However, now all error return the json, rather than only the api error.
So my question, how can I make failed requests to the API return the json error, but other errors the default html error page?
The best way I found to fix this is using blueprints.
I put my API in it's own blueprint, and there I can define an errorhandler for that blueprint alone.
The only problem is that when there are non-existing pages in the api the default errorhandler is used, rather than the one I defined for the api-blueprint. There are some workaround for that too, but this is a limitation of Flask aparently, no biggy.
