Saving image to Djangos ImageField programmatically

Saving image to Djangos ImageField programmatically

In order to save an image to a Django models ImageField programmatically instead of using the upload form, you can do as following example:

0. Assuming you have this model:

models.py
...

class MyModel(models.Model):
    image = models.ImageField(upload_to=path)
...

1. First, upload your image to the upload_to folder defined in your settings.py:

...
UPLOAD_TO = photos
...


2. In views.py or any utility module:

from django.conf import settings
...

layout = MyModel()
layout.image = "%s/image.png" % settings.UPLOAD_TO
layout.save()
