DRF - translation doesn't work on all situations - django-rest-framework

DRF translation in my project just translates a part of messages not all of them.
Please see following images:
In following image, I haven't sent any data for Post request and I've received all error messages translated.
But in the following image, I've sent some part of data and sent another part invalid.
As you see, it has not translated message.
summary:
DRF translates This field is required, but it does not translate Ensure this field has no more than {max_length} characters.

Return multiple json.UnmarshalTypeError errors

Just getting to grips with GO and loving it. I've come across a small issue and I can't seem to over come it.
I have an array of errors returning using validator.Validate. I have a POST endpoint which has two required fields. If none of these fields are in the body, I will get back an array of errors stating these are required.
My Issue However, If I send over the incorrect data type on one of these (string), it will validate the input one by one. For example:
This is working as intedned with nothing sent in the body
Image1
And below, is sending over name and testingvalidation as an integer
Image2
How do I get my code to not just validate the one above? I noticed if the error is a type of json.UnmarshalTypeError then it will only return one error

Attach meta data / custom data to slack messages sent through the API

I am developing a series of Slack apps for my workspace, and some of them are meant to interact with the content (messages) delivered by the other apps : extracting content IDs that may be referred to by other messages
A concrete example :
Suppose I have an app A "FindUser" that is capable of giving me the user profile when a slack user types find me#example.com, and it replies in the thread with a formatted view of the user profile
I am developing an app B "EditTags", which basically gives me a right click option with "edit tags" (see Slack's Interactive Components/Actions), the idea being that a user could first ask app A to find a user, and then right click on the reply from App A and click the "edit tags" action given by the other app. What this app B does it actually retrieve the tags for the user mentionned by the previous message from app A, and in another reply to the thread it gives some controls to either delete an existing tag OR it shows a select with autocomplete to add new tags.
The B app needs to retrieve the user ID that the A app mentionned previously. So I need some way to pass that data directly in the slack message. When looking at the examples, slack does not seem to provide a way to add arbitrary "metadata" to a message, am I wrong ? Do you have workaround for this ? I mean I could totally send the user ID say, in the footer, so I can just read the footer, but I was planning to use the footer for something else... Is there a way to pass metadata hrough properties that would be hidden to the end user ?
Although this does not feel relevant, I am building a slack nodeJS app using the node slack sdk (and especially the #slack/interactive-messages package)
For the most part the Slack API does not provide any official means to attach custom data / meta data to messages. But with some simple "hacks" it is still possible. Here is how:
Approach
The basic approach is to use an existing field of the message as container for your data. Obviously you want to pick a field that is not directly linked to Slack functionality.
Some field are not always needed, so you can just use that field as data container. Or if its needed, you can include the functional value of that field along with your custom data in the data container.
For example for message buttons you could use the value field of a button and structure your code in a way that you do not need it in its original function. Usually its sufficient to know which button the user client (via the name field), so the value field is free to be used for your custom data. Or you can include the functional value of your button along with the custom data in a data container (e.g. a JSON string) in that field.
Serialization
All messages are transported through HTTP and mostly encoded as UTF-8 in JSON. So you want to serialize / de-serialize your data accordingly, especially if its binary data. If possible I would recommend to use JSON.
Length
The maximum allowed length of most fields is documented in the official Slack API documentation. e.g. for the value field for message buttons can contain up to 2.000 characters. Keep in mind that you need to consider the length of your data after serialization. e.g. if you convert binary data into Base64 so it can be transported with HTTP you will end up with about 1.33 characters for every byte.
Contents
In general I would recommend to keep your data container as small as possible and not include the actual data, but only IDs. Here are two common approaches:
Include IDs of your data objects and load the actual objects
from a data store when the request is later processed.
Include the ID of server session and when processing the request you
can restore the corresponding server session which contains all data
objects.
In addition you might need to include functional values so that the functionality of the field you are using still works (e.g. value of a menu option, see below)
Implementation
Dialogs
Dialogs provide an official field for custom data called state. Up to 3.000 characters.
Message buttons
For Message buttons you can use the message action fields / value. Up to 2.000 characters. Its also possible to use the name field, but I would advise against it, because the maximum allowed length of that field is not documented.
Message menus
For Message menus you can use the value field of an option or the name field of the menu action.
Usually the value field is the better approach, since you have a documented max length of 2.000 and it gives you more flexibility. However, you will need to combine you custom data with the actual functional value for each option. Also, this will not work for dynamic select elements (like users), where you can not control the value field.
When using the name field note, keep in mind that the maximum allowed length of name is not documented, so you want to keep you data as short as possible. Also, if you want to use more than one menu per attachment you need to include the actual name of the menu into your data container.
Normal message attachments
Normal message attachments do not contain any suitable field to be used as container for custom data, since all fields are linked to Slack functionality.
Technically you could use the fallback field, but only if you are 100% sure that your app is never used on a client that can not display attachments. Otherwise your data will be displayed to the user.

Ajax Post data lost if input length is big

I work an a Sylius project.
In the sylius_shop_ajax_cart_add_item form I added a custom input of type hidden where I send a base64 image.
The problem is that if the input is big the POST data is lost.
The ajax call is made via Semantic UI js API.
Here is the request with some small input data. The field to pay attention is image_base64.
And here is the expected result on the server, debugger stopped at the first line of the controller.
Here is the image of the html with image_base64 input
And here is the debugger right on the first line of the controller.
I use the built in server from Symfony.
My php config for max_post_size is 8mb.
Please someone any suggestion where is the problem?

Difference between an error code and a message code as far as Spring validation is concerned?

I am in reference to the following method from BindingResult:
BindingResult.html#resolveMessageCodes(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)
I am trying to figure out the difference between an error code and a message code. Can someone please provide an example, especially one that would illustrate why there could be several message codes for a given error code?
Because web applications are internationalized, when you reject an object and want to have a message displayed for it, you don't use a hardcoded text because that will show the same no matter the language.
Instead, you specify an error code that later server as a key to retrieving the proper message from the bundles (and now the error code is a message code from the point of view of the method that must find the proper message text).
Your error code resolves to more message codes because Spring (based on the implementation) adds some additional ones for you. Here is a snippet from the Spring documentation:
[...] What error codes it registers is determined by the MessageCodesResolver that is used. By default, the DefaultMessageCodesResolver is used, which for example not only registers a message with the code you gave, but also messages that include the field name you passed to the reject method. So in case you reject a field using rejectValue("age", "too.darn.old"), apart from the too.darn.old code, Spring will also register too.darn.old.age and too.darn.old.age.int (so the first will include the field name and the second will include the type of the field); this is done as a convenience to aid developers in targeting error messages and suchlike. [...]
The last statement is the reason there are more message codes, to have control on the message that is displayed to the user, from a generic one (e.g. "Value required") to a more specific one given the context (e.g. "A value is required for field XXX").
The javadoc for DefaultMessageCodesResolver explains it further and gives an example:
For example, in case of code "typeMismatch", object name "user", field "age":
try "typeMismatch.user.age"
try "typeMismatch.age"
try "typeMismatch.int"
try "typeMismatch"
This resolution algorithm thus can be leveraged for example to show specific messages for binding errors like "required" and "typeMismatch":
at the object + field level ("age" field, but only on "user");
at the field level (all "age" fields, no matter which object name);
or at the general level (all fields, on any object).

Custom http codes

Could I use custom HTTP codes?
I want to use these codes as response for AJAX requests.
Example:
220 - will be correspond to status that some item was created successfully
420 - will be correspond to status that some validations errors were occurred
Each response will be has json string.
You can define extension codes, but it only makes sense if you want to standardize something; in which case you need to write a spec, and get the status code registered (see http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-ietf-httpbis-p2-semantics-12.html#rfc.section.4.1).
If this is just between your server and your client, simply put the additional information into the response body and use a more generic status code.
That being said -- what you called "420" is already defined as "422 Unprocessable Entity".
Using your server side language of choice you can send headers to the browser with the relevant HTTP code and message.
