I'm uploading without a form.
My user has a FileField if I'm uploading via <input type...> i have no problem.
But this is not that handy for my purpose.
views.py
def uploadaction2(request):
f = forms.FileField() # this is my idea
data = json.loads(request.body)
# f.clean("data['data']") # error: file_name = data.name AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'name'
logger.error(type(data['data'])) #gives <class 'str'> and without the type the string that i want to save
with open('newfile', 'w') as file:
file.write(data['data'])
request.user.file = file
request.user.save() # i get no error until this part
Error
Internal Server Error: .... in pre_save
if file and not file._committed:
AttributeError: '_io.TextIOWrapper' object has no attribute '_committed'
I think i have to convert the json string to a forms.FileField() by i've no idea how this could be done.
def uploadaction2(request):
file = request.FILES.get('file') # set name to input
request.user.file = file
request.user.save()
