``File`` attributes and methods
|
||||
-------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Django's ``File`` has the following attributes and methods:
|
||||
The :mod:`django.core.files` module contains a built-in class for basic file
|
||||
handling in Django. The :class:`File` class has the following attributes and
|
||||
methods:
|
||||
|
||||
.. attribute:: File.name
|
||||
.. class:: File(file_object)
|
||||
|
||||
The name of file including the relative path from :setting:`MEDIA_ROOT`.
|
||||
.. attribute:: name
|
||||
|
||||
.. attribute:: File.path
|
||||
The name of file including the relative path from :setting:`MEDIA_ROOT`.
|
||||
|
||||
The absolute path to the file's location on a local filesystem.
|
||||
.. attribute:: path
|
||||
|
||||
:doc:`Custom file storage systems </howto/custom-file-storage>` may not store
|
||||
files locally; files stored on these systems will have a ``path`` of
|
||||
``None``.
|
||||
The absolute path to the file's location on a local filesystem.
|
||||
|
||||
.. attribute:: File.url

|
||||
files locally; files stored on these systems will have a ``path`` of
|
||||
``None``.
|
||||
|
||||
The URL where the file can be retrieved. This is often useful in
|
||||
:doc:`templates </topics/templates>`; for example, a bit of a template for
|
||||
displaying a ``Car`` (see above) might look like:
|
||||
.. attribute:: url

The size of the file in bytes.
|

.. attribute:: size
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: File.open(mode=None)
|
||||
The size of the file in bytes.
|
||||
|
||||
Open or reopen the file (which by definition also does ``File.seek(0)``).
|
||||
The ``mode`` argument allows the same values as Python's standard
|
||||
``open()``.
|
||||
.. method:: open([mode=None])
|
||||
|
||||
When reopening a file, ``mode`` will override whatever mode the file was
|
||||
originally opened with; ``None`` means to reopen with the original mode.

When reopening a file, ``mode`` will override whatever mode the file was

|
||||
|

Read content from the file. The optional ``size`` is the number of bytes to
|
||||
read; if not specified, the file will be read to the end.
|
||||
.. method:: read([num_bytes=None])
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: File.__iter__()
|
||||
Read content from the file. The optional ``size`` is the number of bytes to

read; if not specified, the file will be read to the end.

|

Iterate over the file yielding one line at a time.
|

.. method:: __iter__()
|
||||
|

.. method:: File.chunks(chunk_size=None)
|
||||
Iterate over the file yielding one line at a time.
|
||||
|
||||
Iterate over the file yielding "chunks" of a given size. ``chunk_size``
|
||||
defaults to 64 KB.
|
||||
.. method:: chunks([chunk_size=None])
|
||||
|
||||
This is especially useful with very large files since it allows them to be
|
||||
streamed off disk and avoids storing the whole file in memory.

Returns ``True`` if the file is large enough to require multiple chunks to

Writes the specified content string to the file. Depending on the storage
|
||||
system behind the scenes, this content might not be fully committed until
|

``close()`` is called on the file.

``close()`` is called on the file.

Close the file.

.. method:: File.save(name, content, [save=True])

Saves a new file with the file name and contents provided. This will not

replace the existing file, but will create a new file and update the object

Note that the ``content`` argument must be an instance of
