How to upload multiple files in django rest framework

Question

In django rest framework, I am able to upload single file using danialfarid/ng-file-upload

views.py:

class PhotoViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):     serializer_class = PhotoSerializer     parser_classes = (MultiPartParser, FormParser,)     queryset=Photo.objects.all()      def perform_create(self, serializer):         serializer.save(blogs=Blogs.objects.latest('created_at'),                    image=self.request.data.get('image')) 

serializers.py:

class PhotoSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):     class Meta:         model = Photo 

models.py:

class Photo(models.Model):     blogs = models.ForeignKey(Blogs, related_name='blogs_img')     image = models.ImageField(upload_to=content_file_name) 

When I try to upload multiple file. I get in

chrome developer tools: Request Payload

------WebKitFormBoundaryjOsYUxPLKB1N69Zn Content-Disposition: form-data; name="image[0]"; filename="datacable.jpg" Content-Type: image/jpeg   ------WebKitFormBoundaryjOsYUxPLKB1N69Zn Content-Disposition: form-data; name="image[1]"; filename="datacable2.jpg" Content-Type: image/jpeg 

Response:

{"image":["No file was submitted."]} 

I don't know how to write serializer for uploading multiple file.

I manage to solve this issue and I hope it will help community

serializers.py:

class FileListSerializer ( serializers.Serializer ) :     image = serializers.ListField(                        child=serializers.FileField( max_length=100000,                                          allow_empty_file=False,                                          use_url=False )                                 )     def create(self, validated_data):         blogs=Blogs.objects.latest('created_at')         image=validated_data.pop('image')         for img in image:             photo=Photo.objects.create(image=img,blogs=blogs,**validated_data)         return photo  class PhotoSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):      class Meta:         model = Photo         read_only_fields = ("blogs",) 

views.py:

class PhotoViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):     serializer_class = FileListSerializer     parser_classes = (MultiPartParser, FormParser,)     queryset=Photo.objects.all()

I dont know it very well, but this is working... This is for my viewset.

def perform_create(self, serializer):     obj = serializer.save()     for f in self.request.data.getlist('files'):         mf = MyFile.objects.create(file=f)         obj.files.add(mf)
