how to store svgs in django image field with SVGAndImageFormField

To store SVGs in a Django ImageField using SVGAndImageFormField, follow these steps:

Step 1: Install Required Libraries

Make sure you have installed the required library svg-and-image-form-field:

pip install svg-and-image-form-field

Step 2: Define a Model

Create a Django model with an ImageField using SVGAndImageFormField:

from django.db import models
from svg_and_image_form_field.fields import SVGAndImageFormField

class YourModel(models.Model):
    svg_image = models.ImageField(upload_to='your_directory/', 
                                  validators=[SVGAndImageFormField()])

Step 3: Use the Model in a Form

Create a form that uses this model:

from django import forms
from .models import YourModel

class YourForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = YourModel
        fields = ['svg_image']

Step 4: Display the Form in a View

In your view, use the form to handle the file upload:

from django.shortcuts import render
from .forms import YourForm

def your_view(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = YourForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
            # Handle successful form submission
    else:
        form = YourForm()
    return render(request, 'your_template.html', {'form': form})

Step 5: Render the Form in a Template

Render the form in your HTML template:

<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    {% csrf_token %}
    {{ form.as_p }}
    <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

These steps set up a Django model with an ImageField that uses SVGAndImageFormField for storing SVGs in the database through a form.
