Fixed #13605 -- Improved documentation of the django.core.files.storage module. Added documentation for DefaultStorage, get_storage_class, FileSystemStorage, and some missing public methods on Storage. New metadata targets included for everything. Thanks to kopernikus for the report and elbarto for contributing to the patch.

File storage API File storage API
================ ================
``Storage.exists(name)`` .. module:: django.core.files.storage
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
``True`` if a file exists given some ``name``. Getting the current storage class
---------------------------------
``Storage.path(name)`` Django provides two convenient ways to access the current storage class:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The local filesystem path where the file can be opened using Python's standard .. class:: DefaultStorage
``open()``. For storage systems that aren't accessible from the local
filesystem, this will raise ``NotImplementedError`` instead.
``Storage.accessed_time(name)`` :class:`~django.core.files.storage.DefaultStorage` provides
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ lazy access to the current default storage system as defined by
:setting:`DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE`. :class:`DefaultStorage` uses
:func:`~django.core.files.storage.get_storage_class` internally.
.. versionadded:: 1.3 .. function:: get_storage_class([import_path=None])
Returns a ``datetime`` object containing the last accessed time of the file. Returns a class or module which implements the storage API.
For storage systems that aren't able to return the last accessed time, this
will raise ``NotImplementedError`` instead.
``Storage.created_time(name)`` When called without the ``import_path`` parameter ``get_storage_class``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ will return the current default storage system as defined by
:setting:`DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE`. If ``import_path`` is provided,
``get_storage_class`` will attempt to import the class or module from the
given path and will return it if successful. An exception will be
raised if the import is unsuccessful.
.. versionadded:: 1.3 The FileSystemStorage Class
---------------------------
Returns a ``datetime`` object containing the creation time of the file. .. class:: FileSystemStorage
For storage systems that aren't able to return the creation time, this
will raise ``NotImplementedError`` instead.
``Storage.modified_time(name)`` The :class:`~django.core.files.storage.FileSystemStorage` class implements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ basic file storage on a local filesystem. It inherits from
:class:`~django.core.files.storage.Storage` and provides implementations
for all the public methods thereof.
.. versionadded:: 1.3 .. note::
Returns a ``datetime`` object containing the last modified time. For storage The :class:`FileSystemStorage.delete` method will not raise

``NotImplementedError`` instead.
``Storage.size(name)`` The Storage Class
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -----------------
Returns the total size, in bytes, of the file referenced by ``name``. .. class:: Storage
``Storage.url(name)`` The :class:`~django.core.files.storage.Storage` class provides a
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ standardized API for storing files, along with a set of default
behaviors that all other storage systems can inherit or override
as necessary.
Returns the URL where the contents of the file referenced by ``name`` can be .. method:: accessed_time(name)
accessed.
``Storage.open(name, mode='rb')`` .. versionadded:: 1.3

Opens the file given by ``name``. Note that although the returned file is Returns a ``datetime`` object containing the last accessed time of the

so be warned.
``Storage.save(name, content)`` .. method:: created_time(name)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Saves a new file using the storage system, preferably with the name specified. .. versionadded:: 1.3
If there already exists a file with this name ``name``, the storage system may
modify the filename as necessary to get a unique name. The actual name of the
stored file will be returned.
The ``content`` argument must be an instance of Returns a ``datetime`` object containing the creation time of the file.

Deletes the file referenced by ``name``. This method won't raise an exception if Deletes the file referenced by ``name``. If deletion is not supported
the file doesn't exist. on the targest storage system this will raise ``NotImplementedError``
instead
.. method:: exists(name)
Returns ``True`` if a file referened by the given name already exists
in the storage system, or ``False`` if the name is available for a new
file.
.. method:: get_available_name(name)
Returns a filename based on the ``name`` parameter that's free and
available for new content to be written to on the target storage
system.
.. method:: get_valid_name(name)
Returns a filename based on the ``name`` parameter that's suitable
for use on the target storage system.
.. method:: listdir(path)
Lists the contents of the specified path, returning a 2-tuple of lists;
the first item being directories, the second item being files. For
storage systems that aren't ale to provide such a listing, this will
raise a ``NotImplementedError`` instead.
.. method:: modified_time(name)
.. versionadded:: 1.3
Returns a ``datetime`` object containing the last modified time. For
storage systems that aren't able to return the last modified time, this
will raise ``NotImplementedError`` instead.
.. method:: open(name, mode='rb')
Opens the file given by ``name``. Note that although the returned file
is guaranteed to be a ``File`` object, it might actually be some
subclass. In the case of remote file storage this means that
reading/writing could be quite slow, so be warned.
.. method:: path(name)
The local filesystem path where the file can be opened using Python's
standard ``open()``. For storage systems that aren't accessible from
the local filesystem, this will raise ``NotImplementedError`` instead.
.. method:: save(name, content)
Saves a new file using the storage system, preferably with the name
specified. If there already exists a file with this name ``name``, the
storage system may modify the filename as necessary to get a unique
name. The actual name of the stored file will be returned.
The ``content`` argument must be an instance of
:class:`django.core.files.File` or of a subclass of
:class:`~django.core.files.File`.
.. method:: size(name)
Returns the total size, in bytes, of the file referenced by ``name``.
For storage systems that aren't able to return the file size this will
raise ``NotImplementedError`` instead.
.. method:: url(name)
Returns the URL where the contents of the file referenced by ``name``
can be accessed. For storage systems that don't support access by URL
this will raise ``NotImplementedError`` instead.
