Question

In my django app, I have a view which accomplishes file upload.The core snippet is like this

...
if  (request.method == \'POST\'):
    if request.FILES.has_         


        

Answer 1

if you want to add other data with file upload then follow the below method

file = open('path/to/file.txt', 'r', encoding='utf-8')

    data = {
        'file_name_to_receive_on_backend': file,
        'param1': 1,
        'param2': 2,
        .
        .
    }

    response = self.client.post("/url/to/view", data, format='multipart')`

The only file_name_to_receive_on_backend will be received as a file other params received normally as post paramas.
