Issue
Hi I'm quite new to flask and I want to upload a file using an ajax call to the server. As mentioned in the documentation, I added a file upload to the html as folows:
<form action="" method=post enctype="multipart/form-data" id="testid">
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<label>Upload</label>
</td>
<td>
<input id="upload_content_id" type="file" name="upload_file" multiple>
<input type="button" name="btn_uplpad" id="btn_upload_id" class="btn-upload" value="Upload"/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
and I wrote the ajax handler as this
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#btn_upload_id" ).click(function() {
$.ajax({
type : "POST",
url : "/uploadajax",
cache: false,
async: false,
success : function (data) {},
error: function (XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {}
});
});
});
I do not know how to get the uploaded file (not the name) from this
<input id="upload_content_id" type="file" name="upload_file" multiple>
and save the file in folder. I'm not quite sure how to read the file from handler which i have written:
@app.route('/uploadajax', methods = ['POST'])
def upldfile():
if request.method == 'POST':
file_val = request.files['file']
I will be grateful if anyone can help. Thank you in advance
Solution
To answer your question...
HTML:
<form id="upload-file" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<fieldset>
<label for="file">Select a file</label>
<input name="file" type="file">
</fieldset>
<fieldset>
<button id="upload-file-btn" type="button">Upload</button>
</fieldset>
</form>
JavaScript:
$(function() {
$('#upload-file-btn').click(function() {
var form_data = new FormData($('#upload-file')[0]);
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '/uploadajax',
data: form_data,
contentType: false,
cache: false,
processData: false,
success: function(data) {
console.log('Success!');
},
});
});
});
Now in your flask's endpoint view function, you can access the file's data via flask.request.files.
On a side note, forms are not tabular data, therefore they do not belong in a table. Instead, you should resort to an unordered list, or a definition list.
