Django Upload Validator is a simple utility for validating file types and extensions using python-magic library.

Installation ############

Install the current PyPI release <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-upload-validator>__:

.. code:: bash

pip install django-upload-validator

Usage

General usage ::

from upload_validator import FileTypeValidator

validator = FileTypeValidator(
    allowed_types=['application/msword'],
    allowed_extensions=['.doc', '.docx']
)

file_resource = open('sample.doc')

# ValidationError will be raised in case of invalid type or extension
validator(file_resource)

Usage as a FileField validator in Django forms ::

from upload_validator import FileTypeValidator

 profile_image = forms.FileField(
    label='', help_text="Formats accepted: JPEG nd PNG", required=False,
    validators=[FileTypeValidator(
        allowed_types=[ 'image/jpeg','image/png']
    )]
)

Wildcard character specification is also supported. e.g; for accepting only images: ::

profile_image = forms.FileField(
    label='', help_text="Only image formats are accepted.", required=False,
    validators=[FileTypeValidator(
        allowed_types=[ 'image/*']
    )]
)
