I have created a DRF API that allows me to submit an image using the POST method via POSTMAN. The image is not stored in the model. After it's submission, I want to view the image's name in the browser using the Django Rest Framework. After reading sources in the net, I found out that people used the GET method in order to view all the data in a model. However, I don't have a model (don't require it for now) so how can I implement this requirement?
The result should be something like this:
{ "image_name": <"name_of_the_image_stored"> } This is what I had done so far:
from rest_framework.views import APIView from rest_framework.response import Response from .serializers import ImgSerializer from rest_framework import status from rest_framework.parsers import FileUploadParser class ImageAPI(APIView): parser_classes = (FileUploadParser,) def post(self, request): #key is 'image' when uploading in POSTMAN file = self.request.data data = file['image'] if data: uploaded_file = data fs = FileSystemStorage(location=settings.PRIVATE_STORAGE_ROOT) filename = fs.save(uploaded_file.name, uploaded_file) data = [{"image_name": filename}] serializer = ImgSerializer(data, many = True).data return Response(serializer, status = 200) else: return Response("Please upload an image", status = 400) def get(self, request): #What should I do here in order to view the submitted image above? serializers.py:
from rest_framework import serializers class ImgSerializer(serializers.Serializer): image_name = serializers.CharField() urls.py:
from upload.views import ImageAPI from rest_framework.urlpatterns import format_suffix_patterns urlpatterns = [ path("api/", ImageAPI.as_view(), name = "api"), ] urlpatterns = format_suffix_patterns(urlpatterns)
