Description (last modified by )
In the docs, https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/file-uploads/#uploading-multiple-files
there is this code snippet:
def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs): form_class = self.get_form_class() form = self.get_form(form_class) files = request.FILES.getlist('file_field') if form.is_valid(): for f in files: ... # Do something with each file. return self.form_valid(form) else: return self.form_invalid(form)
I think it's a bit confusing to use form validation and then get the file list directly from the request.
I found that replacing files = request.FILES.getlist('file_field')
by files = form.files.getlist('file_field')
seems to be more consistent with the usual django form approach.
The best approach would be to access file_field
from cleaned_data but it's not really possible with multple files for now.
