File storage API
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
.. module:: django.core.files.storage
|
|
|
|
Getting the current storage class
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Django provides two convenient ways to access the current storage class:
|
|
|
|
.. class:: DefaultStorage
|
|
|
|
:class:`~django.core.files.storage.DefaultStorage` provides
|
|
lazy access to the current default storage system as defined by
|
|
:setting:`DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE`. :class:`DefaultStorage` uses
|
|
:func:`~django.core.files.storage.get_storage_class` internally.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: get_storage_class([import_path=None])
|
|
|
|
Returns a class or module which implements the storage API.
|
|
|
|
When called without the ``import_path`` parameter ``get_storage_class``
|
|
will return the current default storage system as defined by
|
|
:setting:`DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE`. If ``import_path`` is provided,
|
|
``get_storage_class`` will attempt to import the class or module from the
|
|
given path and will return it if successful. An exception will be
|
|
raised if the import is unsuccessful.
|
|
|
|
The FileSystemStorage Class
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
.. class:: FileSystemStorage
|
|
|
|
The :class:`~django.core.files.storage.FileSystemStorage` class implements
|
|
basic file storage on a local filesystem. It inherits from
|
|
:class:`~django.core.files.storage.Storage` and provides implementations
|
|
for all the public methods thereof.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
The ``FileSystemStorage.delete()`` method will not raise
|
|
raise an exception if the given file name does not exist.
|
|
|
|
The Storage Class
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
.. class:: Storage
|
|
|
|
The :class:`~django.core.files.storage.Storage` class provides a
|
|
standardized API for storing files, along with a set of default
|
|
behaviors that all other storage systems can inherit or override
|
|
as necessary.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: accessed_time(name)
|
|
|
|
Returns a ``datetime`` object containing the last accessed time of the
|
|
file. For storage systems that aren't able to return the last accessed
|
|
time this will raise ``NotImplementedError`` instead.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: created_time(name)
|
|
|
|
Returns a ``datetime`` object containing the creation time of the file.
|
|
For storage systems that aren't able to return the creation time this
|
|
will raise ``NotImplementedError`` instead.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: delete(name)
|
|
|
|
Deletes the file referenced by ``name``. If deletion is not supported
|
|
on the target storage system this will raise ``NotImplementedError``
|
|
instead
|
|
|
|
.. method:: exists(name)
|
|
|
|
Returns ``True`` if a file referenced by the given name already exists
|
|
in the storage system, or ``False`` if the name is available for a new
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: get_available_name(name)
|
|
|
|
Returns a filename based on the ``name`` parameter that's free and
|
|
available for new content to be written to on the target storage
|
|
system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: get_valid_name(name)
|
|
|
|
Returns a filename based on the ``name`` parameter that's suitable
|
|
for use on the target storage system.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: listdir(path)
|
|
|
|
Lists the contents of the specified path, returning a 2-tuple of lists;
|
|
the first item being directories, the second item being files. For
|
|
storage systems that aren't able to provide such a listing, this will
|
|
raise a ``NotImplementedError`` instead.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: modified_time(name)
|
|
|
|
Returns a ``datetime`` object containing the last modified time. For
|
|
storage systems that aren't able to return the last modified time, this
|
|
will raise ``NotImplementedError`` instead.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: open(name, mode='rb')
|
|
|
|
Opens the file given by ``name``. Note that although the returned file
|
|
is guaranteed to be a ``File`` object, it might actually be some
|
|
subclass. In the case of remote file storage this means that
|
|
reading/writing could be quite slow, so be warned.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: path(name)
|
|
|
|
The local filesystem path where the file can be opened using Python's
|
|
standard ``open()``. For storage systems that aren't accessible from
|
|
the local filesystem, this will raise ``NotImplementedError`` instead.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: save(name, content)
|
|
|
|
Saves a new file using the storage system, preferably with the name
|
|
specified. If there already exists a file with this name ``name``, the
|
|
storage system may modify the filename as necessary to get a unique
|
|
name. The actual name of the stored file will be returned.
|
|
|
|
The ``content`` argument must be an instance of
|
|
:class:`django.core.files.File` or of a subclass of
|
|
:class:`~django.core.files.File`.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: size(name)
|
|
|
|
Returns the total size, in bytes, of the file referenced by ``name``.
|
|
For storage systems that aren't able to return the file size this will
|
|
raise ``NotImplementedError`` instead.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: url(name)
|
|
|
|
Returns the URL where the contents of the file referenced by ``name``
|
|
can be accessed. For storage systems that don't support access by URL
|
|
this will raise ``NotImplementedError`` instead.
