basic-return

Manage function returns with a generic class

Getting started

You can get basic-return from PyPI, which means it's easily installable with pip:

python -m pip install basic-return

Example usage

from basic_return.BasicReturn import BasicReturn
def function(a, b, c=30, d=50):
    br = BasicReturn()

    if a < 10:
        br.status = 10
        br.message = "param a is less than 10"
        br.payload = {"something": 123456789}
        return br

    if b > 20:
        br.status = -10
        br.message = "param b is bigger than 20"
        return br

    br.status = 20
    br.message = "param a is less than 10"
    return br

br = function(10, 20, d=40)
if br.status < 0:
    print(br.owner_call)  # function(a=10, b=20, c=30, d=40); this is how the function was called so we can replicate the error
    raise Exception(f"Something bad happens: [{br.status}] - {br.message}")
