Field Serializers

DRF-Base64 provides a Base64FileField and a Base64ImageField very similar to DRF’s FileField and ImageField with the added functionality of accepting base64-encoded file strings as input. If those serialiers receive an url (ie: when updating a record containing a file without modifying that said file), it will leave the existing value untouched.

Example usage:

from rest_framework import serializers
from base64.fields import Base64ImageField

from .models import Product


class ProductSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):

    picture = Base64ImageField(required=False)

    class Meta:
        model = Product
...

Model Serializers

DRF-Base64 also provides a ModelSerializer and an HyperlinkedModelSerializer also similar to DRF’s own ModelSerializer and HyperlinkedModelSerializer with the added functionality of mapping django.db.models.FileField’s to Bas64FileField’s and django.db.models.ImageField’s to Base64ImageField’s.

Example usage:

from drf_base64.serializers import ModelSerializer

from .models import Product


class ProductSerializer(ModelSerializer):

    class Meta:
        model = Product
...
