Django 4.0 - implementing async views returning JSON response with non-serializable objects
I'm working through a tutorial and I'm testing a new approach and I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but I am working on a Django 4.0 project where I have implemented an async view to fetch data from an external API and return it as a JSON response... However, I am working with an scenario when trying to serialize a response that includes non-serializable objects, specifically a custom class instance that holds data from the external API. When I attempt to return the response, I get the behavior: `TypeError: Object of type CustomClass is not JSON serializable`. Here is a snippet of my async view: ```python from django.http import JsonResponse from django.views import View import httpx class CustomClass: def __init__(self, name, value): self.name = name self.value = value def to_dict(self): return {'name': self.name, 'value': self.value} class MyAsyncView(View): async def get(self, request): async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client: response = await client.get('https://api.example.com/data') if response.status_code == 200: data = response.json() custom_data = CustomClass(data['name'], data['value']) return JsonResponse({'data': custom_data}) # This line causes the behavior return JsonResponse({'behavior': 'Failed to fetch data'}, status=400) ``` I have tried changing the return statement to include `custom_data.to_dict()` instead of `custom_data`, but this leads to a different behavior: `TypeError: 'AsyncContextManager' object is not subscriptable`. I suspect this is because `JsonResponse` is not handling the async context correctly. What is the best way to handle this situation, ensuring that I can return a JSON response with data from a custom class while keeping the async nature of my view? This is part of a larger web app I'm building. Thanks in advance! I'd really appreciate any guidance on this.
