Django file fields with SVG support

A suit of tools to use a FileField to upload image with light SVG support, include thumbnail preview in field and a template tag around sorl-thumbnail library.

Dependancies

• Python>=3.8;

• Django>=3.2,<4.2;

• sorl-thumbnail>=12.9.0;

Overview

Concretely this contains:

• Form widgets to build HTML for a FileField either with or without clearable mode. Both mode have a version to include needed layout assets (CSS and Javascript) and another one without assets;

• Templates to build the widgets HTML;

• CSS and Javascript for the widget layout;

• Form fields which already set a “smart” widget;

• Field validator;

• Model signals to purge stale files;

• Model field with all “smart” features;

• A template tag to make a thumbnail that can be used either in the form for preview or to be used in frontend for content thumbnail. By default, the thumbnail is made in the original content format. Also not than a SVG cannot be converted to a Bitmap and vice versa;

• Some helpers to ease some specific implementations;

Although this can work with ImageField, SVG support will only work with FileField since ImageField rely on PIL that does not support SVG format.
