upload an image to Django through Rest. Possible? How?

[laurent feron]

Hello,

I use django rest framework at the server side, and phonegap/cordova at the client side using ajax/json requests. (for tests i use CURL)

Everything works well but i have a problem with the image uploading.

How i can do that? Is it possible through Rest/Json? or do i need to go through a form as usual?

if someone has an example on the client & server sides?

My model is a standard one:

photo = models.ImageField(upload_to=upload_path, null=True, blank = True)

It works well with the admin interface.

Any helps are welcome?

Regards,

Laurent

Hi Laurent,

Yes that's perfectly possible.  You just need to make sure to send the request using multipart form encoded data (which supports file uploads) instead of using json (which doesn't).  There should be some easily google-able examples of using curl with multipart file uploads.  These stack overflow answers look about right:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6218954/translating-a-post-file-upload-html-to-a-curl-command-line

Hope that helps get you started.

Hi,

It works with Curl. It is just a form in fact. no more rest.

Thanks. Your links helped me.
