File download and upload support for Django REST framework.

Overview

REST framework files allows you to download a file in the format used to render the response and also allows creation of model instances by uploading a file containing the model fields.

Requirements

• Python (2.7, 3.5)

• Django REST framework (3.4, 3.6)

Installation

Install using pip:

pip install djangorestframework-files

Example

models.py

from django.db import models

class ABC(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255)

serializers.py

from rest_framework import serializers

from .models import ABC

class ABCSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = ABC
        fields = '__all__'

views.py

from rest_framework.parsers import JSONParser, MultiPartParser
from rest_framework_files.viewsets import ImportExportModelViewSet

from .models import ABC
from .serializers import ABCSerializer

class ABCViewSet(ImportExportModelViewSet):
    queryset = ABC.objects.all()
    serializer_class = ABCSerializer
    # if filename is not provided, the view name will be used as the filename
    filename = 'ABC'
    # renderer classes used to render your content. will determine the file type of the download
    renderer_classes = (JSONParser, )
    parser_classes = (MultiPartParser, )
    # parser classes used to parse the content of the uploaded file
    file_content_parser_classes = (JSONParser, )

Some third party packages that offer media type support:

• Parsers

• Renderers

from rest_framework import routers

from .views import ABCViewSet

router = routers.ImportExportRouter()
router.register(r'abc', ABCViewSet)
