GridFS Storage backend for Django.
This backend aims to add a GridFS storage to upload files to
using Django’s file fields.
For performance, the file hirarchy is represented as a tree of MongoDB
sub-collections.
(One could use a flat list, but to list a directory ‘/this/path/’ we would
have to execute a search over the whole collection and then filter the
results to exclude those not starting by ‘/this/path’ using that model.)
| Parameters: |
- location – (optional) Name of the top-level node that holds the files. This value of
location is prepended to all file paths, so it works like the location
setting for Django’s built-in FileSystemStorage.
- collection – Name of the collection the file tree shall be stored in.
Defaults to ‘storage’.
- database – Alias of the Django database to use. Defaults to ‘default’ (the default
Django database).
- base_url – URL that serves the files in GridFS (for instance, through nginx-gridfs).
Defaults to None (file not accessible through a URL).
