this might be a pretty stupid question. Also I am new to django. But I was trying to create a basic file upload approach with django where user uploads a file and it gets stored into the defined media path (or whatever that it's called) and that the file size, name, and some other attributes that are needed can be stored into the database. So I have the model ready which will help you understand the question better.
class Document(models.Model):
file_uid = models.CharField(max_length = 16)
file_name = models.CharField(max_length = 255)
file_size = models.CharField(max_length = 255)
file_document = models.FileField(upload_to='uploaded_files/')
uploaded_on = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
uploaded_by = models.CharField(max_length=16)
Now it's clearly plain that we don't need to create all the fields in the form and that most them can be received from the file itself (like the name, size). for other attrs like uid and uploaded by those also will be added by the backend. So that's where I am stuck. I have searched for 2 days straight and still couldn't find a proper solution.
As of now this is my views.py
def uploadView(request):
if(request.method == 'POST'):
form = FileUploadForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
uploaded_file = request.FILES['uploaded_file']
file_dict = {
'file_uid' : get_random_string(length=10),
'file_name' :uploaded_file.name,
'file_size' : uploaded_file.size,
'file_document' : request.FILES['uploaded_file'],
'uploaded_by' : get_random_string(length=10)
}
form = FileUploadForm(data=file_dict)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
return HttpResponse("You reached here")
else:
return HttpResponse("Your form is invalid")
else:
form = FileUploadForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
return render(request, 'function/upload.html', {
'form':form
})
I don't know if this is correct but as of know the form.isvalid() is false.
here's my forms.py
class FileUploadForm(forms.ModelForm):
file_document = forms.FileField(widget=forms.FileInput(attrs={'name':'uploaded_file'}))
class Meta:
model = Document
fields = ('file_uid', 'file_name', 'file_size', 'file_document', 'uploaded_by')
and my upload page section looks like this
<body>
<h1>Upload a file</h1>
<form action="" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
{% csrf_token %}
<input type="file" name="uploaded_file">
<button type="submit">Upload</button>
</form>
</body>
If you can mercifully guide me into a proper way of doing this i'll be really gratefull.
