An image representation for Base64ImageField
Inherited from ImageField
Signature: Base64ImageField()
- It takes a base64 image as a string.
- A base64 image:
data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
- Base64ImageField accepts the entire string or just the part after base64,
R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
- It takes the optional parameter
represent_in_base64
(False
by default), if set toTrue
it will allow for base64-encoded downloads of anImageField
. - You can inherit the
Base64ImageField
class and set allowed extensions (ALLOWED_TYPES
list), or customize the validation messages (INVALID_FILE_MESSAGE
,INVALID_TYPE_MESSAGE
)
Example:
# serializer
from drf_extra_fields.fields import Base64ImageField
class UploadedBase64ImageSerializer(serializers.Serializer):
file = Base64ImageField(required=False)
created = serializers.DateTimeField()
# use the serializer
file = 'R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///////yH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw=='
serializer = UploadedBase64ImageSerializer(data={'created': now, 'file': file})
A file representation for Base64FileField
Inherited from FileField
Signature: Base64FileField()
- It takes a base64 file as a string.
- Other options like for Base64ImageField
- You have to provide your own full implementation of this class. You have to implement file validation in
get_file_extension
method and setALLOWED_TYPES
list.
Example:
class PDFBase64File(Base64FileField):
ALLOWED_TYPES = ['pdf']
def get_file_extension(self, filename, decoded_file):
try:
PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(io.BytesIO(decoded_file))
except PyPDF2.utils.PdfReadError as e:
logger.warning(e)
else:
return 'pdf'
Point field for GeoDjango
Signature: PointField()
-
It takes a dictionary contains latitude and longitude keys like below
{ "latitude": 49.8782482189424, "longitude": 24.452545489 }
-
It takes the optional parameter
str_points
(False by default), if set to True it serializes the longitude/latitude values as strings
Example:
# serializer
from drf_extra_fields.geo_fields import PointField
class PointFieldSerializer(serializers.Serializer):
point = PointField(required=False)
created = serializers.DateTimeField()
# use the serializer
point = {
"latitude": 49.8782482189424,
"longitude": 24.452545489
}
serializer = PointFieldSerializer(data={'created': now, 'point': point})

from drf_extra_fields.relations import PresentablePrimaryKeyRelatedField
class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = User
fields = (
'id',
"username",
)

)
class Meta:
model = Post
fields = (
"id",
"title",
"user",
)
Serializer data:
{
"user": 1,

}
Serialized data with PrimaryKeyRelatedField:
{

}
Serialized data with PresentablePrimaryKeyRelatedField:
{
"id":1,
"user": {

}
A django-rest-framework field for handling image-uploads through raw post data, with a fallback to multipart form data.

from rest_framework import serializers
from drf_extra_fields.fields import HybridImageField
class HybridImageSerializer(serializers.Serializer):
image = HybridImageField()
