customize abort to use JSON

[Daniel Watrous]

I'm using abort when to return non-successful status to clients. I would
like to override the default HTML output that is generated and instead have
it produce JSON.

Is this possible? How would I go about doing this?

In bottle.py, ERROR_PAGE_TEMPLATE is defined and used as default for all
errors.

This can be easily overridden

@error(404)def error404(error):
return 'Nothing here, sorry'


The problem with this is that I can't figure out how to include the message
provided when I called abort. It will simply always print "Nothing here,
sorry"

It will also have a content type of text/html

I'm interested in having the flexibility to return a JSON document.

I believe the proper syntax is:

@error(404)
def error404(error):
return "Nothing here, sorry: %s" % error.output

Ian,

That does allow me to customize the message into a string that is valid
JSON. Is there some way to also override the Content-type to be
application/json rather than text/html?
