Problem when save data on server

Using Django
1

Hi, I have a problem saving data.
I receive the message as if they are saved successfully but they are not saved in the database …
This is the code I wrote

APi VIEW
class CreateApiView(APIView):
    def post(self, request):
        data_serializer = ProductsSerializer(data=self.request.POST)
        if data_serializer.is_valid():
            data_serializer.save()
        return Response(data={'message': 'Succes'}, status=200)

Serializer
class ProductsSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = Products
        fields = ('id', 'title', 'description')

url
urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^api/test', views.CreateApiView.as_view(), name='post')
]

Hi @Dani-D99,

Your view returns a success message for all cases except for an exception. Try changing it so it will return an error response:

class CreateApiView(APIView):
    def post(self, request):
        data_serializer = ProductsSerializer(data=self.request.POST)
        if data_serializer.is_valid():
            data_serializer.save()
            return Response(data={'message': 'Succes'}, status=200)
        # Need to format the validation error somehow to inform the client what's wrong.
        return Response(data={'message': 'Error'}, status=400)

Or use DRF’s ability to format a validation exception as an error:

class CreateApiView(APIView):
    def post(self, request):
        data_serializer = ProductsSerializer(data=self.request.POST)
        data_serializer.is_valid(raise_exception=True)
        data_serializer.save()
        return Response(data={'message': 'Succes'}, status=200)
