django-resumable-async-upload

django-resumable-async-upload is a django app to allow you to upload large files from within the django admin site asynchronously, that means that you can add any number of files on the admin page (e.g. through inline models) and continue editing other fields while files are uploading.

• Currently only tested with the Django default file storage

Installation

• pip install django-resumable-async-upload
• Add django_resumable_async_upload to your INSTALLED_APPS
• Add re_path(r"^django_resumable_async_upload/", include("django_resumable_async_upload.urls")), to your urls.py
• Add in your models field

from django_resumable_async_upload.models import AsyncFileField

class Foo(models.Model):
    bar = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    foo = AsyncFileField()

• Add in your admin form:

from django_resumable_async_upload.fields import FormResumableMultipleFileField
from django_resumable_async_upload.widgets import ResumableAdminWidget

class MultiUploadForm(forms.ModelForm):
    files = FormResumableMultipleFileField(
        required=False,
        widget=ResumableAdminWidget(attrs={"model": File, "field_name": "file"}),
    )

Optional Settings:

• Set ADMIN_RESUMABLE_CHUNKSIZE, default is "1*1024*1024"
• Set ADMIN_RESUMABLE_STORAGE, default is setting of storages and ultimately 'django.core.files.storage.FileSystemStorage'. If you don't want the default FileSystemStorage behaviour of creating new files on the server with filenames appended with _1, _2, etc for consecutive uploads of the same file, then you could use this to set your storage class to something like https://djangosnippets.org/snippets/976/
• Set ADMIN_RESUMABLE_CHUNK_STORAGE, default is 'django.core.files.storage.FileSystemStorage' . If you don't want the default FileSystemStorage behaviour of creating new files on the server with filenames appended with _1, _2, etc for consecutive uploads of the same file, then you could use this to set your storage class to something like https://djangosnippets.org/snippets/976/
• Set ADMIN_RESUMABLE_SHOW_THUMB, default is False. Shows a thumbnail next to the "Currently:" link.
• Set ADMIN_SIMULTANEOUS_UPLOADS to limit number of simultaneous uploads, defaults to 3. If you have broken pipe issues in local development environment, set this value to 1.
• Set MEDIA_URL to where images are stored to be rendered after upload

Optional Param for AsyncFileField

• max_files, default is None. Configure how many files are allowed to be uploaded to a file input.
