I am trying to intergrate File Pond with my Flask server and I can not find the unique file id it sends with requests. With normal uploads it will show me request data on the server, but without the unique ID I am looking for. I want to use this unique ID to attach to a database in order to delete the file if the revert is sent later.
Going over the docs, it is suppsoed to send a unique ID with every upload, but I can’t tell if it’s a bad config in file pond or I suck at reading request.files. Just ignore all my prints where I try to read the contents of request.
Here is my FilePond Config:
FilePond.setOptions({
//allowImageEdit: true,
//allowImageCrop: true,
//allowMultiple: true,
//allowFileEncode: true,
allowImageExifOrientation: true,
credits: false,
server: {
process: {
url: './pondupload',
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'x-customheader': 'Hello World',
},
withCredentials: document.getElementById('csrf_token'),
onload: (response) => response.key,
onerror: (response) => response.data,
ondata: (formData) => {
formData.append('csrf_token', document.getElementById('csrf_token').value)
return formData;
},
},
revert: './pondupload',
restore: './restore/',
load: './load/',
fetch: './fetch/',
},
});
Here is my route in flask:
@bp.route('/pondupload', methods=['POST', 'DELETE'])
def pondupload():
print ('data: '+str(request.data))
print('form: '+str(request.form))
print('files: '+str(request.files))
print('args: '+str(request.args))
form=EmptyForm()
#TODO add csrf to revert
if request.method == "DELETE":
print('delete stuff')
if request.method == "POST" and form.validate_on_submit():
upload_dir = current_app.config['UPLOAD_FOLDER']
fn = ""
file_names = []
# get file object from request.files (see: http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/1.0/api/#flask.Request.files)
for key in request.files:
print('key: '+str(key))
file = request.files[key]
fn = secure_filename(file.filename)
if allowed_file(fn) == True:
file_names.append(fn)
try:
file.save(os.path.join(upload_dir, fn))
return jsonify({}), 200
except:
return jsonify(filename=file_names), 402
return jsonify({}), 400
