So I have a really basic form with an ImageField implemented
# form
class MyForm(forms.Form):
my_image = forms.ImageField(required=False)
# Model
class MyModel(models.Model):
my_image = models.ImageField(upload_to="images", null=True, blank=True)
# view
my_model = MyModel.objects.create(
my_image=cd['my_image'] )
It's working fine, now how can I preview the image right after the user press the button "choose file"? Is there any way to accomplish this with Django or shall I use Ajax?
thank you
This is best done on the client-side using JavaScript. All modern browsers now can do this using HTML5 file API. There is no need to round-trip the file from the server.
