Flask-Reuploaded

Flask-Reuploaded provides file uploads for Flask.

Notes on this package

This is an independently maintained version of Flask-Uploads based on the 0.2.1 version of the original, but also including four years of unreleased changes - at least not released to PyPi.

Noteworthy is the fix for the Werkzeug API change.

Goals

  • Flask-Reuploaded is a stable drop-in replacement for Flask-Uploads

  • regain momentum for this widely used package

  • provide working PyPi packages

Migration guide from Flask-Uploads

If you have used Flask-Uploads and want to migrate to Flask-Reuploaded, you only have to install Flask-Reuploaded instead of Flask-Uploads.

That’s all!

So, if you use pip to install your packages, instead of …

$ pip install `Flask-Uploads`  # don't do this! package is broken

… just do …

$ pip install `Flask-Reuploaded`

Flask-Reuploaded is a drop-in replacement.

This means you do not have to change a single line of code.

Installation

$ pip install Flask-Reuploaded

Getting started

create an UploadSet

from flask_uploads import IMAGES

photos = UploadSet("photos", IMAGES)

configure your Flask app and this extension

app.config["UPLOADED_PHOTOS_DEST"] = "static/img"
app.config["SECRET_KEY"] = os.urandom(24)
configure_uploads(app, photos)

use photos in your view function

photos.save(request.files['photo'])

See below for a complete example.

Documentation

The documentation can be found at…

Minimal example application

Application code

import os

from flask import Flask, flash, render_template, request
# please note the import from `flask_uploads` - not `flask_reuploaded`!!
# this is done on purpose to stay compatible with `Flask-Uploads`
from flask_uploads import IMAGES, UploadSet, configure_uploads

app = Flask(__name__)
photos = UploadSet("photos", IMAGES)
app.config["UPLOADED_PHOTOS_DEST"] = "static/img"
app.config["SECRET_KEY"] = os.urandom(24)
configure_uploads(app, photos)


@app.route("/", methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def upload():
    if request.method == 'POST' and 'photo' in request.files:
        photos.save(request.files['photo'])
        flash("Photo saved successfully.")
        return render_template('upload.html')
    return render_template('upload.html')

HTML code for upload.html

<!doctype html>
<html lang=en>
<head>
    <meta charset=utf-8>
    <title>Flask-Reuploaded Example</title>
</head>
<body>
    {% with messages = get_flashed_messages() %}
    {% if messages %}
    <ul class=flashes>
    {% for message in messages %}
        <li>{{ message }}</li>
    {% endfor %}
    </ul>
    {% endif %}
{% endwith %}

<form method=POST enctype=multipart/form-data action="{{ url_for('upload') }}">
    <input type=file name=photo>
    <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
</body>
</html>
