I'm implementing some search mechanism on my app, trying to get the query from input, look for it in database(sqlite) and render it to template. Problem is that I'm getting error:
.views didn't return an HttpResponse object. It returned None instead.
Logic is like:
1) making a function which will check given query
def search_query(request,search,query): checking = check_in(query) #check if query is in DB if checking == False: #if not, get data from search api and save it search_querys = requests.get(search) json_search = search_querys.json() for each in json_search['data']: user_id = each['id'] name = each['name'] picture = each['picture']['data']['url'] Profiles.objects.create(user_id=user_id, name=name, picture=picture) return render(request, 'FB_search/home.html') else: # <--assuming that here's the problem. For testing purpose, I'm writing query for which I know that they are in DB and I'd like to return in tamplet context = { 'profiles': Profiles.objects.filter(Q(user_id__startswith=query) | Q(name__startswith=query)) } return render(request, 'FB_search/home.html', context) 2) calling function above in my endpoint like:
def api_search(request): if request.method == "GET": query = request.GET.get('q') search = 'some API with {query} inside it' search_query(request,search,query) When I try to call the "search query" funtion I'm getting mentioned error. Any suggestion?
Thank you.
