Ooh, good point. I'm feeling torn right now about whether the find_user function should do the abort, or whether everything implementing find_user should try catch
-- I'm not super fond of side effects where I can avoid them, y'know?
I think that I want to stick with find_user
always returning a user-type-thing, whether that's the user object or None
(or potentially some other option), but I'm definitely open to changing my mind on that
Well, this was a quick hack, and I can certainly see cases where you want to look up a user and handle it differently.
I will say that some ORMs handle it by raising an exception (eg, Django's ORM raises an ObjectDoesNotExist
)
yeah i hear you! i think that an exception is probably the way to go? i'll mull it over some more
This is probably totally the wrong thing to do. But it seems better than throwing 500's?
