How to upload images? about django-ninja HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi @moshthepitt

the files/images schema will come in 10.x.x version (should be released somehwere soon)

in meanwhile you can use @rjLelis suggestion :

image = request.FILES['image']

(where image is actually DjangoFile that your can read/save-to-model

after release image will be basically same Django File object... the parameters will be something like this:

@api.post('/images')
def upload_image(request, image: File):
      ...

from django-ninja.

@moshthepitt

Additionally in your example you've just typed a string to represent the image. Does that mean that you will ask the user to somehow convert the image to a string (maybe base64) first?

I actually sent the file with Content-Type header set to multipart/form-data. With that, I can manipulate the file attributes.

@api.post('/image')
def post_image(request):
    image = request.FILES['image']
    return {
        'name': image.name,
        'size': image.size,
    }

from django-ninja.

I think you just do like you would in normal Django:

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path
from ninja import NinjaAPI

api = NinjaAPI()

@api.post('/image')
def post_image(request):
    image = request.FILES['image']
    return {'message': image.name}

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('api/', api.urls)
]

Thanks @rjLelis - but how do you provide a type hint such that OpenAPI renders a file upload button?

Additionally in your example you've just typed a string to represent the image. Does that mean that you will ask the user to somehow convert the image to a string (maybe base64) first?

It would be nice to have an official example in the docs - and I'd be happy to send In a PR once it's clear to me how to handle this.

Thank you @rjLelis @vitalik - I am going to close this.
