File Validation Decorator

A decorator for validating file types and sizes. If the validation fails, an Exception will be raised and the code will stop before reaching the function you are decorating. A successful validation will execute the function being decorated - business as usual.

Example Of A Successful File Validation

Successful file validations allow the function that is being decorated to execute. The first parameter defined in your function needs to be the file object.

from file_validation_decorator.file_validation import file_validation

@file_validation(accepted_file_extensions=['txt'], accepted_mime_types=['text/plain'])
def hello(file):
    print('Hello World!')

with open('test.txt', 'r') as file:
    hello(file)

Example Of A File That Is Too Large In Size

The decorator is provided a file size of .000001 and will raise a FileSizeExceeded error.

from file_validation_decorator.file_validation import file_validation

@file_validation(accepted_file_extensions=['txt'], max_file_size=.000001)
def hello(file):
    print('Hello World!')

with open('test.txt', 'r') as file:
    hello(file)

Example Of A File Extension That Is Not Allowed

The example file being uploaded here is a .txt but a text file is not provided in the accepted file extensions list. This will raise a FileTypeNotAllowed error.

from file_validation_decorator.file_validation import file_validation

@file_validation(accepted_file_extensions=['jpeg'])
def hello(file):
    print('Hello World!')

with open('test.txt', 'r') as file:
    hello(file)

Exceptions

• FileExtensionNotAllowed - Raised when the file's extension is not found in the list of accepted_file_extensions

• FileTypeNotAllowed - Raised when the file's type is not found in the list of accepted_file_types

• FileMimeTypeNotAllowed - Raised when the file's mime type is not found in the list of accepted_mime_types

• FileSizeExceeded - Raised when the file's size is larger than the max_file_size
