Uploaded Files and Upload Handlers
==================================
.. module:: django.core.files.uploadedfile
:synopsis: Classes representing uploaded files.
Uploaded files
==============
.. class:: UploadedFile
During file uploads, the actual file data is stored in :attr:`request.FILES
<django.http.HttpRequest.FILES>`. Each entry in this dictionary is an
``UploadedFile`` object (or a subclass) -- a simple wrapper around an uploaded
file. You'll usually use one of these methods to access the uploaded content:
.. method:: UploadedFile.read()
Read the entire uploaded data from the file. Be careful with this method:
if the uploaded file is huge it can overwhelm your system if you try to
read it into memory. You'll probably want to use ``chunks()`` instead; see
below.
.. method:: UploadedFile.multiple_chunks(chunk_size=None)
Returns ``True`` if the uploaded file is big enough to require reading in
multiple chunks. By default this will be any file larger than 2.5 megabytes,
but that's configurable; see below.
.. method:: UploadedFile.chunks(chunk_size=None)
A generator returning chunks of the file. If ``multiple_chunks()`` is
``True``, you should use this method in a loop instead of ``read()``.
In practice, it's often easiest simply to use ``chunks()`` all the time.
Looping over ``chunks()`` instead of using ``read()`` ensures that large
files don't overwhelm your system's memory.
Here are some useful attributes of ``UploadedFile``:
.. attribute:: UploadedFile.name
The name of the uploaded file (e.g. ``my_file.txt``).
.. attribute:: UploadedFile.size
The size, in bytes, of the uploaded file.
.. attribute:: UploadedFile.content_type
The content-type header uploaded with the file (e.g. :mimetype:`text/plain`
or :mimetype:`application/pdf`). Like any data supplied by the user, you
shouldn't trust that the uploaded file is actually this type. You'll still
need to validate that the file contains the content that the content-type
header claims -- "trust but verify."
.. attribute:: UploadedFile.content_type_extra
.. versionadded:: 1.7
A dictionary containing extra parameters passed to the ``content-type``
header. This is typically provided by services, such as Google App Engine,
that intercept and handle file uploads on your behalf. As a result your
handler may not receive the uploaded file content, but instead a URL or
other pointer to the file. (see `RFC 2388`_ section 5.3).
.. _RFC 2388: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2388.txt
.. attribute:: UploadedFile.charset
For :mimetype:`text/*` content-types, the character set (i.e. ``utf8``)
supplied by the browser. Again, "trust but verify" is the best policy here.
.. note::
Like regular Python files, you can read the file line-by-line simply by
iterating over the uploaded file:
.. code-block:: python
for line in uploadedfile:
do_something_with(line)
However, *unlike* standard Python files, :class:`UploadedFile` only
understands ``\n`` (also known as "Unix-style") line endings. If you know
that you need to handle uploaded files with different line endings, you'll
need to do so in your view.
Subclasses of ``UploadedFile`` include:
.. class:: TemporaryUploadedFile
A file uploaded to a temporary location (i.e. stream-to-disk). This class
is used by the
:class:`~django.core.files.uploadhandler.TemporaryFileUploadHandler`. In
addition to the methods from :class:`UploadedFile`, it has one additional
method:
.. method:: TemporaryUploadedFile.temporary_file_path()
Returns the full path to the temporary uploaded file.
.. class:: InMemoryUploadedFile
A file uploaded into memory (i.e. stream-to-memory). This class is used
by the :class:`~django.core.files.uploadhandler.MemoryFileUploadHandler`.
Built-in upload handers
=======================
.. module:: django.core.files.uploadhandler
:synopsis: Django's handlers for file uploads.
Together the :class:`MemoryFileUploadHandler` and
:class:`TemporaryFileUploadHandler` provide Django's default file upload
behavior of reading small files into memory and large ones onto disk. They
are located in ``django.core.files.uploadhandler``.
.. class:: MemoryFileUploadHandler
File upload handler to stream uploads into memory (used for small files).
.. class:: TemporaryFileUploadHandler
Upload handler that streams data into a temporary file using
:class:`~django.core.files.uploadedfile.TemporaryUploadedFile`.
.. _custom_upload_handlers:
Writing custom upload handlers
==============================
.. class:: FileUploadHandler
All file upload handlers should be subclasses of
``django.core.files.uploadhandler.FileUploadHandler``. You can define upload
handlers wherever you wish.
Required methods
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Custom file upload handlers **must** define the following methods:
.. method:: FileUploadHandler.receive_data_chunk(raw_data, start)
Receives a "chunk" of data from the file upload.
``raw_data`` is a byte string containing the uploaded data.
``start`` is the position in the file where this ``raw_data`` chunk
begins.
The data you return will get fed into the subsequent upload handlers'
``receive_data_chunk`` methods. In this way, one handler can be a
"filter" for other handlers.
Return ``None`` from ``receive_data_chunk`` to short-circuit remaining
upload handlers from getting this chunk. This is useful if you're
storing the uploaded data yourself and don't want future handlers to
store a copy of the data.
If you raise a ``StopUpload`` or a ``SkipFile`` exception, the upload
will abort or the file will be completely skipped.
.. method:: FileUploadHandler.file_complete(file_size)
Called when a file has finished uploading.
The handler should return an ``UploadedFile`` object that will be stored
in ``request.FILES``. Handlers may also return ``None`` to indicate that
the ``UploadedFile`` object should come from subsequent upload handlers.
Optional methods
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Custom upload handlers may also define any of the following optional methods or
attributes:
.. attribute:: FileUploadHandler.chunk_size
Size, in bytes, of the "chunks" Django should store into memory and feed
into the handler. That is, this attribute controls the size of chunks
fed into ``FileUploadHandler.receive_data_chunk``.
For maximum performance the chunk sizes should be divisible by ``4`` and
should not exceed 2 GB (2\ :sup:`31` bytes) in size. When there are
multiple chunk sizes provided by multiple handlers, Django will use the
smallest chunk size defined by any handler.
The default is 64*2\ :sup:`10` bytes, or 64 KB.
.. method:: FileUploadHandler.new_file(field_name, file_name, content_type, content_length, charset, content_type_extra)
Callback signaling that a new file upload is starting. This is called
before any data has been fed to any upload handlers.
``field_name`` is a string name of the file ``<input>`` field.
``file_name`` is the unicode filename that was provided by the browser.
``content_type`` is the MIME type provided by the browser -- E.g.
``'image/jpeg'``.
``content_length`` is the length of the image given by the browser.
Sometimes this won't be provided and will be ``None``.
``charset`` is the character set (i.e. ``utf8``) given by the browser.
Like ``content_length``, this sometimes won't be provided.
``content_type_extra`` is extra information about the file from the
``content-type`` header. See :attr:`UploadedFile.content_type_extra
<django.core.files.uploadedfile.UploadedFile.content_type_extra>`.
This method may raise a ``StopFutureHandlers`` exception to prevent
future handlers from handling this file.
.. versionadded:: 1.7
The ``content_type_extra`` parameter was added.
.. method:: FileUploadHandler.upload_complete()
Callback signaling that the entire upload (all files) has completed.
.. method:: FileUploadHandler.handle_raw_input(input_data, META, content_length, boundary, encoding)
Allows the handler to completely override the parsing of the raw
HTTP input.
``input_data`` is a file-like object that supports ``read()``-ing.
``META`` is the same object as ``request.META``.
``content_length`` is the length of the data in ``input_data``. Don't
read more than ``content_length`` bytes from ``input_data``.
``boundary`` is the MIME boundary for this request.
``encoding`` is the encoding of the request.
Return ``None`` if you want upload handling to continue, or a tuple of
``(POST, FILES)`` if you want to return the new data structures suitable
for the request directly.

Upload Handlers
===============
.. attribute:: size
.. currentmodule:: django.core.files.uploadhandler
The size, in bytes, of the uploaded file.

handler* -- a small class that handles file data as it gets uploaded. Upload
handlers are initially defined in the :setting:`FILE_UPLOAD_HANDLERS` setting,
which defaults to::

def handle_uploaded_file(f):
with open('some/file/name.txt', 'wb+') as destination:

You can write custom handlers that customize how Django handles files. You
could, for example, use custom handlers to enforce user-level quotas, compress
data on the fly, render progress bars, and even send data to another storage
location directly without storing it locally. See :ref:`custom_upload_handlers`
for details on how you can customize or completely replace upload behavior.
