unsupported media type django

1. Ensure the proper Django imports in views.py:

from django.http import JsonResponse
from django.views.decorators.csrf import csrf_exempt

1. Use the @csrf_exempt decorator for the Django view function:

@csrf_exempt
def your_view_function(request):
    # Your view logic here

1. Import necessary modules for handling JSON data:

import json
from django.core.serializers.json import DjangoJSONEncoder

1. In your view function, check if the request content type is JSON:

if request.method == 'POST' and request.content_type == 'application/json':
    try:
        json_data = json.loads(request.body)
        # Your JSON data handling logic here
        return JsonResponse({'success': True})
    except json.JSONDecodeError:
        return JsonResponse({'error': 'Invalid JSON format'}, status=400)
else:
    return JsonResponse({'error': 'Unsupported media type'}, status=415)

1. In your frontend, ensure you're setting the proper Content-Type header when making the HTTP request. For example, in JavaScript using fetch:

fetch('your_endpoint_url', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        // Other headers if needed
    },
    body: JSON.stringify(your_data_object),
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => console.log(data))
.catch(error => console.error('Error:', error));

Ensure that your Django view is now able to handle JSON requests without triggering the "unsupported media type" error.
