Django rest_framework custom error message

Question

I have a API endpoint where it will do input validation using rest_framework\'s serializer.is_valid() where it will return custom error message and response.

You can write custom error handler:

from rest_framework.views import exception_handler

def custom_exception_handler(exc, context):
    response = exception_handler(exc, context)
    if response is not None:
        response.data['Failure'] = 'Error'

    return response
