Django models. How do I make "add new" field in Django?
Question:
I am trying to make an OfferUp-like web app using Django Framework. Everything has been going great until I ran into a problem. How could I make it so that users can upload multiple pictures, instead of just one using the models.ImageField() function? You know? We might have users that only have 5 pictures to upload, while another user might have 8. How could I make it so that users can upload into the database as many pictures as they want?
Answers:
What I’m going to suggest isn’t that much different from the comment above (i don’t have enough reputation to make a comment), so I’m just going to add a code snippet:
class Item(models.Model):
name = models.TextField()
class ItemImage(models.Model):
name = models.TextField()
item = models.ForeignKey(Item, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
image = models.ImageField(upload_to='images/')
and say: If you have more than one model with many images, rather than repeating the code you can just make a model (class) that will be inherited as the foreign key.
