Django Multiple Image Upload Using form - django

Question

This can upload single image. But i want to upload multiple image like insta do. In instagram multiple images are stored in a slider. I don't understand files = request.FILES.getlist('image') how can i iterate this this list
Views.py file
#login_required
def index(request):
images = Image.objects.all()
users = User.objects.filter(is_superuser=False)
prof = Profile.objects.get(user=request.user)
actions = Action.objects.exclude(user=request.user)
following_ids = request.user.following.values_list('id', flat=True)
if request.method == "POST":
form = ImageCreateForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
files = request.FILES.getlist('image')
if form.is_valid():
description = form.cleaned_data["description"]
image = form.cleaned_data["image"]
new_item = form.save(commit=False)
new_item.user = request.user
new_item.save()
create_action(request.user, 'Uploaded Image', new_item)
messages.success(request, "Image Added Successfully")
return redirect(new_item.get_absolute_url())
else:
form = ImageCreateForm(data=request.GET)
if following_ids:
# If user is following others, retrieve only their actions
actions = actions.filter(user_id__in=following_ids)
actions = actions.select_related('user', 'user__profile').prefetch_related('target')[:10]
return render(request, "account/index.html", {
'section': 'index',
'images': images,
'prof': prof,
'actions': actions,
'users': users,
'form': form,
})
forms.py file
from django import forms
from urllib import request
from django.core.files.base import ContentFile
from django.utils.text import slugify
from .models import Image
class ImageCreateForm(forms.ModelForm):
image = forms.ImageField(widget=forms.ClearableFileInput(attrs={'multiple': True}))
class Meta:
model = Image
fields = ('description',)
def clean_url(self):
image = self.cleaned_data['image']
valid_extensions = ['jpg', 'jpeg']
extension = image.rsplit('.', 1)[1].lower()
if extension not in valid_extensions:
raise forms.ValidationError('The Given URL does not match valid image extensions.')
return image
def save(self, force_insert=False, force_update=False, commit=True):
image = super().save(commit=False)
url = self.cleaned_data['image']
name = slugify(image.description)
image_name = f'{name}'
image.image.save(image_name, ContentFile(url.read()), save=False)
if commit:
image.save()
return image
admin.py file
#admin.register(Image)
class ImageAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = ['slug', 'image', 'description', 'created']
list_filter = ['created']

You can just loop throught it:
for afile in request.FILES.getlist('image'):
mymodel = MyModel()
mymodel .pic = afile
mymodel .save()
Of course you need to make sure you can save the images in your model.
