Description:

djangogridfsstorage 0.0.2

django-gridfs-storage
Simple django GridFS storage engine
Usage:

Install django_gridfs_storage:
pip install django_gridfs_storage

Into settings.py file of your project, add gridfs_storage to INSTALLED_APPS:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...,
'gridfs_storage',
]

add the following variables to your settings:
# defaults to default local mongodb server
DEFAULT_GRIDFS_URL = 'mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017'
# if set to None, it will refuse to serve files and raise an Exception
DEFAULT_GRIDFS_SERVE_URL = None
DEFAULT_GRIDFS_COLLECTION = 'storage'

To serve files through django (not recommended) you can use this in urls.py:
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
...,
path('media/', include('gridfs_storage.urls')),
]

and set the DEFAULT_GRIDFS_SERVE_URL to the prefix you specified in the path. in this case its /media/

If you wish to use it on all FileField and ImageField set it as the default Storage:
DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = 'gridfs_storage.storage.GridFSStorage'

If you wish to use on individual field bases set it as the field storage:
from django.db import models
from gridfs_storage.storage import GridFSStorage

class SampleModel(models.Model):
attachment = models.FileField(storage=GridFSStorage())
first_pic = models.ImageField(storage=GridFSStorage(location='sample/images'))

# To store in a different collection than "storage"
another_pic = models.ImageField(storage=GridFSStorage(collection='image_storage'))

# Serve through custom cdn connected to the same gridfs or similar, the limit is the sky :)
served_outside = models.ImageField(storage=GridFSStorage(base_url='https://img.cdn/serve/'))

Python 3.6 or higher.
