How to receive a PDF file in Django and save to a directory?

Question

I get an html file using type="file".

<form action="/docs/enviado/" method="post">{% csrf_token %}
  <input type="file" accept="pdf" name = "projeto"/><br /><br />
  <input type="submit" value="enviar" />
</form>

But I can’t save using python, I tried so but it didn’t work:

projeto = request.POST.get('projeto')
projeto.save

And so:

projeto = request.FILES["projeto"]
projeto.save

I just need to receive the pdf file and save in the directory that is already.

Answer 1

In your form

<form action="/docs/enviado/" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

In your model field:

meuarquivo = models.FileField(upload_to='meusarquivos/')

In your view

form = MeuForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
