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.
