After receiving an image file from a client, you have to use a server to upload the image to AWS S3. I am not going to post about how to set up IAM and S3 Bucket in AWS as I believe there are already so many posts about it.
If you want to upload an image to AWS S3, you need to first install boto3, which is a library that helps you upload a file to AWS S3.
pip install boto3
and please build a habit of pip freeze > requirements.txt in order to help those who are working on the same project with you.
Check out the code below
import boto3
...
class UploadPictureView(APIView):
permission_classes = [IsAuthenticated]
s3_client = boto3.client(
's3',
aws_access_key_id = yptest_aws_access_key_id,
aws_secret_access_key = yptest_aws_secret_access_key
)
def post(self, request):
picture = request.FILES['image']
picture.name = f"{request.user.id}_{picture.name}"
self.s3_client.upload_fileobj(
picture,
"yptest-sns",
picture.name,
)
return JsonResponse({
"picture_uri": f"https://yptest-sns.s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/{picture}"
}, safe=False)You can retrieve your aws_access_key_id and aws_secret_access_key from your AWS IAM.
Once you upload an image to AWS S3, it provides you with an uri specific to the image by adding the image file name to the end of the S3 bucket uri. So if you return the uri to your client, the client will send a request to your server with the uri to save the information into your database
