A simple Django base view to zip and stream several files.

Project description

Django ZipView

Build Status

A base view to zip and stream several files.

Installation

pip install django-zipview

Usage and examples

To create a zip download view:

  • Extend BaseZipView
  • implement get_files
  • That's it

The get_files method must return a list of Django's File objects.

Example:

from zipview.views import BaseZipView

from emails import Email


class AttachmentsArchiveView(BaseZipView):
    """Download at once all comments for a review."""

    def get_files(self):
        emails = Email.objects \
            .filter(user=self.request.user) \
            .exclude(attachment__isnull=True)

        return [email.attachment.file for email in emails if email.attachment.name]

View configuration

By default, the downloaded file is named download.zip you can set a custom name by setting the zipfile_name parameter.

class ZipView(BaseZipView):
    zipfile_name = 'toto.zip'

In case you need to dynamically set the filename, you can override the get_archive_name method. It takes the request as a parameter.

def get_archive_name(self, request):
    import datetime
    today = datetime.date.today()
    return 'archive_{:%Y%m%d}.zip'.format(today)

Compatibility

Current supported django versions are 2.2, 3.1 and 3.2.

Testing

Django ZipView uses tox, the testing automation tool, to run tests.

To launch tests:

pip install -r requiments/test.txt
tox
