Organize code by concepts, not layers

Automated Documentation for APIs
Solutions to this problem generate API documentation automatically. Libraries such as drf-spectacular use code structure and semantics in back-end frameworks to infer API contracts. API frameworks such as FastAPI and Huma generate OpenAPI specifications as a built-in feature. Tools like mitmproxy2swagger generate documentation from HAR files. Finally, companies such as Akita Software/Postman use network traffic metadata.

drf-standardized-errors: return the same response format for all 4xx and 5xx errors in your DRF API
Generate OpenAPI3 schema for error responses using drf-spectacular: No API is complete without proper documentation. This is work in progress (PR1 and PR2). Most of it is done, but I still need to add tests and documentation. Hopefully, that will be done over the next few week(end)s. But, if you want to get a glimpse on the expected result, here’s a screenshot of a test endpoint using swagger UI.
