How can I implement file upload in Django?

To implement file upload in Django, you need to set up a model with a FileField, create a form, and handle the upload in your view.

Can you show me an example of the model and form?

Sure! Here's a simple model:

from django.db import models

class Document(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    file = models.FileField(upload_to='documents/')

And the form:

from django import forms

class DocumentForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Document
        fields = ['title', 'file']

What about the view to handle the upload?

In your view, you can handle the file upload like this:

from django.shortcuts import render
from .forms import DocumentForm

def upload_file(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = DocumentForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
            return redirect('success')
    else:
        form = DocumentForm()
    return render(request, 'upload.html', {'form': form})

How do I set up the template for the upload form?

You can create a simple HTML template like this:

<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    {% csrf_token %}
    {{ form.as_p }}
    <button type="submit">Upload</button>
</form>
