Updates the main description of the API error handling article so
that the `code` key in the error reponse is more accurate.
Adds a bullet point to the API changelog for feature level 76 about
the `code` key being consistently in all error responses. This is
based on commit 8b9011dff8, which completed the migration to
JsonableError, at which point the API feature level was already
set to 75 and not yet set to 76.
Also, revises the other error related feature level 76 entries in
the API changelog.
Adds a header for the common, shared error responses that are
documented on the error handling page, and updates those error
descriptions to include information about any extra fields and to
end with any changes notes.
Adds a page to the general api documentation about HTTP headers,
so that information about the special response headers for rate
limits have a more logical location in the docs and so that other
HTTP header information can be shared, such as `User-Agent`
conventions.
Adjusts some text and linking on the rest-error-handling page and
overview page for the REST API for the addition of the HTTP headers
page.
Creates `MutableJsonResponse` as a subclass of Django's `HttpResponse`
that we can modify for ignored parameters in the response content.
Updates responses to include `ignored_parameters_unsupported` in
the response data through `has_request_variables`. Creates unit
test for this implementation in `test_decorators.py`.
The `method` parameter processed in `rest_dispatch` is not in the
`REQ` framework, so for any tests that pass that parameter, assert
for the ignored parameter with a comment.
Updates OpenAPI documentation for `ignored_parameters_unsupported`
being returned in the JSON success response for all endpoints.
Adds detailed documentation in the error handling article, and
links to that page in relevant locations throughout the API docs.
For the majority of endpoints, the documentation does not include
the array in any examples of return values, and instead links to
the error handling page. The exceptions are the three endpoints
that had previously supported this return value. The changes note
and example for these endpoints is also used in the error
handling page.
- Updates `.prettierignore` for the new directory.
- Updates any reference to the API documentation directory for
markdown files to be `api_docs/` instead of `zerver/api/`.
- Removes a reference link from `docs/documentation/api.md` that
hasn't referenced anything in the text since commit 0542c60.
- Update rendering of API documentation for new directory.
