Project description
Django file form
Django-file-form helps you to write forms with a pretty ajax upload.
Features:
- You can easily add an ajax file-upload to a form.
- The ajax upload works the same as an html upload.
- This means that you don't have to change your code to support ajax upload.
- Supports single and multiple file upload.
The project is hosted on github.
Works with Django 1.11 - 2.2. Also with Python 2.7, 3.6 - 3.7
Note that version 0.3.0 also supports Django 1.8 - 1.10.
Usage
1 Install django-file-form
pip install django-file-form
2 Add the apps to your INSTALLED_APPS
You must include 'django_file_form' and 'django_file_form.ajaxuploader'
INSTALLED_APPS = [
'django_file_form',
'django_file_form.ajaxuploader',
]
3 Add the app to your urls
In this example we use the url upload/. You can use a different url if you like.
urlpatterns = patterns(
'',
url(r'^upload/', include('django_file_form.urls')),
)
4 Add FileFormMixin to your form
from django_file_form.forms import FileFormMixin
class ExampleForm(FileFormMixin, forms.Form):
pass
5 Add a UploadedFileField
from django_file_form.forms import FileFormMixin, UploadedFileField
class ExampleForm(FileFormMixin, forms.Form):
input_file = UploadedFileField()
6 Include javascript and css in your template
<script src="{% static "ajaxuploader/js/fileuploader.js" %}"></script>
<script src="{% static "file_form/file_form.js" %}"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static "ajaxuploader/css/fileuploader.css" %}">
You must also include jquery
7 Call the initUploadFields javascript function
<form id="example-form" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ form }}
</form>
<script>
$(function() {
initUploadFields($('#example-form'));
});
</script>
If your form has a prefix, then call initUploadFields
as follows:
// for example, with prefix 'abc'
initUploadFields($('#example-form'), { prefix: 'abc' });
See the Django documentation for more information about form prefixes.
8 Include the upload_template.html in your template
{% include 'django_file_form/upload_template.html' %}
9 Handle uploaded files
class ExampleFormView(generic.FormView):
template_name = 'example_form.html'
form_class = forms.ExampleForm
def form_valid(self, form):
input_file = form.cleaned_data['input_file']
return super(ExampleFormView, self).form_valid(form)
10 Delete temporary files
class ExampleFormView(generic.FormView):
template_name = 'example_form.html'
form_class = forms.ExampleForm
def form_valid(self, form):
input_file = form.cleaned_data['input_file']
form.delete_temporary_files()
return super(ExampleFormView, self).form_valid(form)
Also see the testproject in the repository.
