how to return response message with 400 bad request status code from django restframwork?

Question

Code in Python Django:

if len(error) < 1:
    return Response(status=HTTP_200_OK)
else:
    return Response({"data":error}status=HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST)

code in javascript

if(response.status===200){
    alert("ok")
}else if(response.status===400){
    alert("not ok")
}

It returns the code when it is 200 ok, but returning nothing when it is 400 bad request. In fact, nothing seems replying message except 200_ok code. Is there any solution for that?

Try with:

return Response(status=HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST, data=error)
