Save base64 image in django file field

Question

I have following input

"data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAA7YAAAISCAIAAAB3YsSDAAAAGXRFWHRTb2Z0d2FyZQBBZG9iZSBJbWFnZVJlYWR5ccllPAAA5JxJREFUeNrsnQl4FEX6xqcJJEAS7ivhBkMAQTSJ4h0QEQ+I90rAc1cOL3QBXXV1AV1dVwmrsCqQ9VwJ6HoC7oon0T8iEkABwRC5IeE+kkAIkPT/nfmSmprunskk5CDw/p55hu7qOr76api8........" 

I want to save this file in file field. What can I do?

models.py

class SomeModel(models.Model):     file = models.FileField(upload_to=get_upload_report)     created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)     modified = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True) 

I'm trying to do this

def get_file(data):     from django.core.files import File     return File(data) 

and save return file to model instance

somemodel.file = get_file(image_base64_data) 

but it's gives a following error

AttributeError at /someurl/  'File' object has no attribute 'decode' 

Answer 1

import base64  from django.core.files.base import ContentFile format, imgstr = data.split(';base64,')  ext = format.split('/')[-1]   data = ContentFile(base64.b64decode(imgstr), name='temp.' + ext) # You can save this as file instance. 

Use this code snippet to decode the base64 string.
