Project description
Django file form
Django-file-form helps you to write forms with a pretty ajax upload.
Features:
You can easily add an ajax file-upload to a form.
The ajax upload works the same as an html upload.
This means that you don’t have to change your code to support ajax upload.
Supports single and multiple file upload.
The project is hosted on github.
Works with Django 1.4 and 1.5.
Usage
1 Install django-file-form
pip install django-file-form
2 Include the app in your settings
INSTALLED_APPS = [ … 'django_file_form' ]
3 Add the app to your urls
In this example we use the url upload/. You can use a different url if you like.
urlpatterns = patterns( '', url(r'^upload/', include('django_file_form.urls')), )
4 Add FileFormMixin to your form
from django_file_form.forms import FileFormMixin class ExampleForm(FileFormMixin, forms.Form): pass
5 Add a UploadedFileField
from django_file_form.forms import FileFormMixin, UploadedFileField class ExampleForm(FileFormMixin, forms.Form): input_file = UploadedFileField()
6 Include fileuploader.js and file_form.js in your template
<script src="{{ STATIC_URL }}ajaxuploader/js/fileuploader.js"></script> <script src="{{ STATIC_URL }}file_form/file_form.js"></script>
By the way, you must also include jquery.
7 Call the initUploadFields javascript function
<form id="example-form" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data"> {% csrf_token %} {{ form }} </form> <script> $(function() { initUploadFields($('#example-form')); }); </script>
8 Handle uploaded files
class ExampleFormView(generic.FormView): template_name = 'example_form.html' form_class = forms.ExampleForm def form_valid(self, form): input_file = form.cleaned_data['input_file'] return super(ExampleFormView, self).form_valid(form)
9 Delete temporary files
class ExampleFormView(generic.FormView): template_name = 'example_form.html' form_class = forms.ExampleForm def form_valid(self, form): input_file = form.cleaned_data['input_file'] self.delete_temporary_files() return super(ExampleFormView, self).form_valid(form)
