Exception Handling In Django & Python Using Decorators

# Importing necessary modules from Django
from django.db import models

# Defining a Django model for Users
class Users(models.Model):
    pass  # Placeholder, as the Users model does not have any fields defined

# Defining a Django model for ErrorLogs

    user = models.ForeignKey(
        Users, on_delete=models.SET_NULL, related_name='user_in_error_logs', null=True, blank=True
    )
    # Storing the expected error message
    expected_error = models.CharField(max_length=500)
    # Storing the field-specific error message
    field_error = models.CharField(max_length=500)
    # Storing the trace back information for debugging
    trace_back = models.TextField(max_length=500)
    # Storing the line number where the error occurred
    line_number = models.IntegerField()
    # Storing the date and time when the error was recorded (auto-generated)
    date_recorded = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    # Storing the browser information where the error occurred
    browser = models.CharField(max_length=500)
