Django smart media

A suit of tools to use a FileField to upload image with light SVG support, include thumbnail preview in field and a template tag around sorl-thumbnail library.

Dependancies

Overview

Concretely this contains:

  • Form widgets to build HTML for a FileField either with or without clearable mode. Both mode have a version to include needed layout assets (CSS and Javascript) and another one without assets;

  • Form fields which already set a “smart” widget;

  • Templates to build the widgets HTML;

  • CSS and Javascript for the widget layout;

  • Field validator;

  • Model signals to purge stale files;

  • Model field with all “smart” features;

  • A template tag to make thumbnail safely with SVG image (original SVG is just used without Sorl raising issue for a non bitmap image);

  • Some helpers to ease some specific implementations;

Although this can work with ImageField, SVG support will only work with FileField since ImageField rely on PIL that does not support SVG format.
