upload multiple files in django

Question

I am new to django, I am trying to upload more than one file from the browser and store them somewhere in computer storage but I am not storing them successfully with this c

Answer 1

I was able to solve the multi uploads portion in the create view here: Django Class based UpdateView with Form for Multiple Uploaded Files , however, now the update get function is what I am currently stuck on.

Answer 2

my model to save Document

class Document(models.Model):
  file = models.FileField('Document', upload_to='mydocs/')

  @property
  def filename(self):
     name = self.file.name.split("/")[1].replace('_',' ').replace('-',' ')
     return name
  def get_absolute_url(self):
     return reverse('myapp:document-detail', kwargs={'pk': self.pk})

you can try a django create view in my code i use this DocumentCreateView

class DocumentCreate(CreateView):
   model = Document
   fields = ['file']

   def form_valid(self, form):
     obj = form.save(commit=False)
     if self.request.FILES:
        for f in self.request.FILES.getlist('file'):
            obj = self.model.objects.create(file=f)

   return super(DocumentCreate, self).form_valid(form)

my form html file

<script>
  $(document).ready(function(){
    $('#id_file').attr("multiple","true");

  })
 </script>
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="">{% csrf_token %}
 {{ form.file }}
 <input type="submit" value="upload" />

</form>

Answer from official django documentation

file_field = forms.FileField(widget=forms.ClearableFileInput(attrs={'multiple': True}))

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/topics/http/file-uploads/#uploading-multiple-files

Answer 4

views.py

from django.shortcuts import render
from django.http import HttpResponse
# Create your views here.

def Form(request):
    for x in request.FILES.getlist("files"):
        def process(f):
            with open('/Users/benq/djangogirls/upload/media/file_' + str(x), 'wb+') as destination:
                for chunk in f.chunks():
                    destination.write(chunk) 
        process(x)
    return render(request, "index/form.html", {})

urls.py

from django.conf.urls import url
from index import views

urlpatterns = [
    url('form', views.Form),
]

worked for me.
