File types tand fields for images, files and blob files with filenames

Project description

Introduction

This package contains fields and wrapper objects for storing:

  • A file with a filename

  • An image with a filename

  • A file stored in a ZODB blob, with a filename

  • An image stored in a ZODB blob, with a filename

See the usage.txt doctest for more details. Changelog =========

1.0a1 - 2009-04-17

  • Initial release

Usage

This demonstrates how to use the package.

Test setup

We must first load the package’s ZCML plus some dependencies. In your own code, only the last <include /> should be necessary.

>>> configuration = """\
... <configure
...      xmlns="http://namespaces.zope.org/zope"
...      i18n_domain="plone.namedfile.tests">
...
...     <include package="zope.security" file="meta.zcml" />
...     <include package="zope.component" file="meta.zcml" />
...     <include package="zope.app.component" file="meta.zcml" />
...     <include package="zope.app.publisher" file="meta.zcml" />
...
...     <permission id="zope2.View" title="View" />
...
...     <include package="plone.namedfile" />
...
... </configure>
... """
>>> from StringIO import StringIO
>>> from zope.configuration import xmlconfig
>>> xmlconfig.xmlconfig(StringIO(configuration))

Schema fields

The following schema fields can be used to describe file data.

>>> from zope.interface import Interface
>>> from plone.namedfile import field
>>> class IFileContainer(Interface):
...     simple = field.NamedFile(title=u"Named file")
...     image = field.NamedImage(title=u"Named image file")
...     blob = field.NamedBlobFile(title=u"Named blob file")
...     blobimage = field.NamedBlobImage(title=u"Named blob image file")

These store data with the following types:

>>> from zope.interface import implements
>>> from plone import namedfile
>>> class FileContainer(object):
...     implements(IFileContainer)
...     def __init__(self):
...         self.simple = namedfile.NamedFile()
...         self.image = namedfile.NamedImage()
...         self.blob = namedfile.NamedBlobFile()
...         self.blobimage = namedfile.NamedBlobImage()

File data and content type

Let’s now show how to get and set file data.

The FileContainer class creates empty objects to start with.

>>> container = FileContainer()
>>> container.simple.data
''
>>> container.simple.contentType
''
>>> container.simple.filename is None
True
>>> container.image.data
''
>>> container.image.contentType
''
>>> container.image.filename is None
True
>>> container.blob.data
''
>>> container.blob.contentType
''
>>> container.blob.filename is None
True
>>> container.blobimage.data
''
>>> container.blobimage.contentType
''
>>> container.blobimage.filename is None
True

Let’s now set some actual data in these files. Notice how the constructor will attempt to guess the filename from the file extension.

>>> container.simple = namedfile.NamedFile('dummy test data', filename="test.txt")
>>> container.simple.data
'dummy test data'
>>> container.simple.contentType
'text/plain'
>>> container.simple.filename
'test.txt'
>>> container.blob = namedfile.NamedBlobFile('dummy test data', filename="test.txt")
>>> container.blob.data
'dummy test data'
>>> container.blob.contentType
'text/plain'
>>> container.blob.filename
'test.txt'

Let’s also try to read a GIF, courtesy of the zope.app.file tests:

>>> zptlogo = (
...     'GIF89a\x10\x00\x10\x00\xd5\x00\x00\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xfe\xfc\xfd\xfd'
...     '\xfa\xfb\xfc\xf7\xf9\xfa\xf5\xf8\xf9\xf3\xf6\xf8\xf2\xf5\xf7\xf0\xf4\xf6'
...     '\xeb\xf1\xf3\xe5\xed\xef\xde\xe8\xeb\xdc\xe6\xea\xd9\xe4\xe8\xd7\xe2\xe6'
...     '\xd2\xdf\xe3\xd0\xdd\xe3\xcd\xdc\xe1\xcb\xda\xdf\xc9\xd9\xdf\xc8\xd8\xdd'
...     '\xc6\xd7\xdc\xc4\xd6\xdc\xc3\xd4\xda\xc2\xd3\xd9\xc1\xd3\xd9\xc0\xd2\xd9'
...     '\xbd\xd1\xd8\xbd\xd0\xd7\xbc\xcf\xd7\xbb\xcf\xd6\xbb\xce\xd5\xb9\xcd\xd4'
...     '\xb6\xcc\xd4\xb6\xcb\xd3\xb5\xcb\xd2\xb4\xca\xd1\xb2\xc8\xd0\xb1\xc7\xd0'
...     '\xb0\xc7\xcf\xaf\xc6\xce\xae\xc4\xce\xad\xc4\xcd\xab\xc3\xcc\xa9\xc2\xcb'
...     '\xa8\xc1\xca\xa6\xc0\xc9\xa4\xbe\xc8\xa2\xbd\xc7\xa0\xbb\xc5\x9e\xba\xc4'
...     '\x9b\xbf\xcc\x98\xb6\xc1\x8d\xae\xbaFgs\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00'
...     '\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00'
...     '\x00,\x00\x00\x00\x00\x10\x00\x10\x00\x00\x06z@\x80pH,\x12k\xc8$\xd2f\x04'

...     '\xc4a\x87z\xed\xb0-\x1a\xb3\xb8\x95\xbdf8\x1e\x11\xca,MoC$\x15\x18{'
...     '\x006}m\x13\x16\x1a\x1f\x83\x85}6\x17\x1b $\x83\x00\x86\x19\x1d!%)\x8c'
...     '\x866#\'+.\x8ca`\x1c`(,/1\x94B5\x19\x1e"&*-024\xacNq\xba\xbb\xb8h\xbeb'
...     '\x00A\x00;'
...     )
>>> container.image = namedfile.NamedImage(zptlogo, filename="zpt.gif")
>>> container.image.data == zptlogo
True
>>> container.image.contentType
'image/gif'
>>> container.image.filename
'zpt.gif'
>>> container.blobimage = namedfile.NamedBlobImage(zptlogo, filename="zpt.gif")
>>> container.blobimage.data == zptlogo
True
>>> container.blobimage.contentType
'image/gif'
>>> container.blobimage.filename
'zpt.gif'

Note that is possible for force the mimetype:

>>> container.image = namedfile.NamedImage(zptlogo, contentType='image/foo', filename="zpt.gif")
>>> container.image.data == zptlogo
True
>>> container.image.contentType
'image/foo'
>>> container.image.filename
'zpt.gif'
>>> container.blobimage = namedfile.NamedBlobImage(zptlogo, contentType='image/foo', filename="zpt.gif")
>>> container.blobimage.data == zptlogo
True
>>> container.blobimage.contentType
'image/foo'
>>> container.blobimage.filename
'zpt.gif'

Download view

This package also comes with a view that can be used to download files. To use it, link to ../context-object/@@download/fieldname, where fieldname is the name of the attribute on the context-object where the named file is stored.

We will test this with a dummy request, faking traversal.

>>> from plone.namedfile.browser import Download
>>> from zope.publisher.browser import TestRequest
>>> request = TestRequest()
>>> download = Download(container, request).publishTraverse(request, 'simple')
>>> download()
'dummy test data'
>>> request.response.getHeader('Content-Length')
'15'
>>> request.response.getHeader('Content-Type')
'text/plain'
>>> request.response.getHeader('Content-Disposition')
'attachment; filename="test.txt"'
>>> request = TestRequest()
>>> download = Download(container, request).publishTraverse(request, 'blob')
>>> data = download()
>>> data #doctest: +ELLIPSIS
<open file ..., mode 'rb' at ...>
>>> data.read()
'dummy test data'
>>> request.response.getHeader('Content-Length')
'15'
>>> request.response.getHeader('Content-Type')
'text/plain'
>>> request.response.getHeader('Content-Disposition')
'attachment; filename="test.txt"'
>>> request = TestRequest()
>>> download = Download(container, request).publishTraverse(request, 'image')
>>> download() == zptlogo
True
>>> request.response.getHeader('Content-Length')
'341'
>>> request.response.getHeader('Content-Type')
'image/foo'
>>> request.response.getHeader('Content-Disposition')
'attachment; filename="zpt.gif"'
>>> request = TestRequest()
>>> download = Download(container, request).publishTraverse(request, 'blobimage')
>>> data = download()
>>> data #doctest: +ELLIPSIS
<open file ..., mode 'rb' at ...>
>>> data.read() == zptlogo
True
>>> request.response.getHeader('Content-Length')
'341'
>>> request.response.getHeader('Content-Type')
'image/foo'
>>> request.response.getHeader('Content-Disposition')
'attachment; filename="zpt.gif"'
