How to upload a file using an ajax call in flask
To answer your question...
HTML:
<form id="upload-file" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<fieldset>
<label for="file">Select a file</label>
<input name="file" type="file">
</fieldset>
<fieldset>
<button id="upload-file-btn" type="button">Upload</button>
</fieldset>
</form>
JavaScript:
$(function() {
$('#upload-file-btn').click(function() {
var form_data = new FormData($('#upload-file')[0]);
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '/uploadajax',
data: form_data,
contentType: false,
cache: false,
processData: false,
success: function(data) {
console.log('Success!');
},
});
});
});
Now in your flask's endpoint view function, you can access the file's data via flask.request.files.
On a side note, forms are not tabular data, therefore they do not belong in a table. Instead, you should resort to an unordered list, or a definition list.
in the Javascript side::::
var form_data = new FormData();
form_data.append('file', $('#uploadfile').prop('files')[0]);
$(function() {
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '/uploadLabel',
data: form_data,
contentType: false,
cache: false,
processData: false,
success: function(data) {
console.log('Success!');
},
});
in the server side::::
@app.route('/uploadLabel',methods=[ "GET",'POST'])
def uploadLabel():
isthisFile=request.files.get('file')
print(isthisFile)
print(isthisFile.filename)
isthisFile.save("./"+isthisFile.filename)
