DRF Upload multiple files

[Maxus Lord]

Good day everyone, I have a problem using DRF for getting multiples images in a single Post with an array.

I have read a lot about this topic, the most common solution is to encode64 the string, but is not an approach that I want because take a lot of resource that we don't have.

The other one, is the most common that DRF use, to request method to Parse the header in the content type. http://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/parsers/#how-the-parser-is-determined

But if I'm correct, this use a multipart/form-data way to do it.

The really one that I want, is a way to do it just receiving the data in a Json Array, this is by using a mobile app build in appcelerator where the user sends an array of images.

I would be glad if someone answer me if at least is possible, because all the information that I have found only point to multipart/form-data.

By the way, is possible to upload a single file, but not multiples, I have done it with this:

ukeys = request.FILES['fotos']

Thanks for your time.

A quick google turned up a few examples.  I happened to know one of them was there already, but I've never used it:

The others take a little more work to use, depending on your version of DRF, so try that one first.   Maybe putting it into a ListField would work.  Beware of the request size though.
