How do I set up asynchronous file uploads in Django?

To set up asynchronous file uploads in Django, you can use Django Channels along with a JavaScript library like Axios for handling the uploads.

What are Django Channels and how do they help with async uploads?

Django Channels extends Django to handle WebSockets and other asynchronous protocols, allowing you to manage long-lived connections and background tasks.

Can you provide a code example for the file upload view?

Sure! Here's a simple example of a file upload view using Django Channels:

from channels.generic.websocket import AsyncWebsocketConsumer

class FileUploadConsumer(AsyncWebsocketConsumer):
    async def receive(self, text_data):
        # Handle file upload logic here
        pass
