Upload image in Flask

Question

I have to upload some images in static folder of my project directory, but i don't know how to say it to my code. In the follow code.py i'm able to upload an image and store it in the project directory at the same level of static folder, but i would that this image can be store INSIDE static folder.

@app.route('/uploader', methods = ['GET', 'POST'])
def upload_file():
   if request.method == 'POST':
      f = request.files['file']

      f.save(secure_filename(f.filename))
      return render_template('end.html')

What i have to do?? Thanks guys

Answer 1

you need to define the upload folder

from the flask documentation

import os
from flask import Flask, request, redirect, url_for
from werkzeug.utils import secure_filename

UPLOAD_FOLDER = '/path/to/the/uploads'
ALLOWED_EXTENSIONS = set(['txt', 'pdf', 'png', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'gif'])

app = Flask(__name__)
app.config['UPLOAD_FOLDER'] = UPLOAD_FOLDER

def upload_file():
    if request.method == 'POST':
        # check if the post request has the file part
        if 'file' not in request.files:
            flash('No file part')
            return redirect(request.url)
        file = request.files['file']
        # if user does not select file, browser also
        # submit a empty part without filename
        if file.filename == '':
            flash('No selected file')
            return redirect(request.url)
        if file and allowed_file(file.filename):
            filename = secure_filename(file.filename)
            file.save(os.path.join(app.config['UPLOAD_FOLDER'], filename))

http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/0.12/patterns/fileuploads/

So your code would be UPLOAD_FOLDER = '/path/to/static/images' or something like that
