django-zipview 1.2.0

Django ZipView
==============

[](https://travis-ci.org/thibault/django-zipview)

A base view to zip and stream several files.

Installation
------------

pip install django-zipview

Usage and examples
------------------

To create a zip download view:

* Extend BaseZipView
* implement `get_files`
* That's it

The `get_files` method must return a list of Django's File objects.

Example:

```python
from zipview.views import BaseZipView

from emails import Email


class AttachmentsArchiveView(BaseZipView):
"""Download at once all comments for a review."""

def get_files(self):
emails = Email.objects \
.filter(user=self.request.user) \
.exclude(attachment__isnull=True)

return [email.attachment.file for email in emails if email.attachment.name]
```

View configuration
------------------

By default, the downloaded file is named `download.zip` you can set a custom name
by setting the `zipfile_name` parameter.

```python

class ZipView(BaseZipView):
zipfile_name = 'toto.zip'
```

In case you need to dynamically set the filename, you can override the
`get_archive_name` method. It takes the request as a parameter.

```python

def get_archive_name(self, request):
import datetime
today = datetime.date.today()
return 'archive_{:%Y%m%d}.zip'.format(today)
```

Compatibility
-------------

Current supported django versions are 1.8 & 1.9.

Testing
-------

Django ZipView uses [tox, the testing automation
tool](https://tox.readthedocs.org/en/latest/), to run tests.

To launch tests:

pip install -r requiments/test.txt
tox
