How can I implement asynchronous file uploads in Django?

You can use Django's built-in support for asynchronous views along with a JavaScript library like Axios to handle file uploads.

Can you provide a code example for the view and the frontend?

Sure! In your Django view, you can use async def to define an asynchronous view. Here's a simple example:

from django.http import JsonResponse
from django.views import View

class FileUploadView(View):
    async def post(self, request):
        file = request.FILES['file']
        # Process the file here
        return JsonResponse({'message': 'File uploaded successfully'})

On the frontend, you can use Axios like this:

const formData = new FormData();
formData.append('file', selectedFile);

axios.post('/upload/', formData)
    .then(response => console.log(response.data));

What about handling large files?

For large files, consider using Django's FileSystemStorage to save files in chunks, and ensure your server can handle large requests by adjusting settings like DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE.
