Basic Usage

With Admin

The ImageUploaderWidget is a class that implements a custom widget for single image uploader and can be used inside the formfield_overrides attribute inside the ModelAdmin class.

# admin.py
from django.contrib import admin
from django.db import models
from image_uploader_widget.widgets import ImageUploaderWidget
from .models import YourModel


@admin.register(YourModel)
class YourModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    formfield_overrides = {
        models.ImageField: {'widget': ImageUploaderWidget},
    }

See the documentation for more complex usage's.

With ModelForm

The ImageUploaderWidget can be used inside the widgets Meta attribute of a Form/ModelForm:

# forms.py
from django import forms
from image_uploader_widget.widgets import ImageUploaderWidget

class ExampleForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        widgets = {
            'image': ImageUploaderWidget(),
        }
        fields = '__all__'

See the documentation for more complex usage's.

Custom Inline Admin

The ImageUploaderInline is implemented with the base of the admin.StackedInline to create an custom django-admin to work with multiple images upload using a model only to store the images:

# models.py

class Product(models.Model):
    # ...

class ProductImage(models.Model):
    product = models.ForeignKey(
        Product,
        related_name="images",
        on_delete=models.CASCADE
    )
    image = models.ImageField("image")
    # ...

# admin.py
from django.contrib import admin
from image_uploader_widget.admin import ImageUploaderInline
from .models import Product, ProductImage

class ProductImageAdmin(ImageUploaderInline):
    model = ProductImage

@admin.register(Product)
class ProductAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    inlines = [ProductImageAdmin]

See the documentation for more complex usage's.

Array Field

The ArrayField support is made by a custom field, called ImageListField. Then, to use it, we need to change the field from default ArrayField to ImageListField. The reason for it is: the default ArrayField with ImageField not works and some part of the behaviour of the ImageField is implemented inside the ImageListField.

# models.py
from django.db import models
from image_uploader_widget.postgres import ImageListField

class TestWithArrayField(models.Model):
    images = ImageListField(blank=True, null=True, upload_to="admin_test")

    class Meta:
        verbose_name = "Test With Array Field"

See the documentation for more complex usage's.
