Django Default ImageField

Default static file path for Django ImageField

Setup

• install it via pip install django-default-imagefield

• add it to your settings and it auto-registers itself

  settings.INSTALLED_APPS = [
     ...
     'django_fields',
     ...
  ]
  

Usage

• add field to your model class

  from django_fields import DefaultStaticImageField
  
  class Post(models.Model):
    photo = DefaultStaticImageField(blank=True)
  

• default path is django_fields/no_image.png and is included in the package. you can change it via settings.py

  # settings.py
  DEFAULT_IMAGE_PATH = 'images/custom_no_image.png'
  

• or add field attribute default_image_path

  class Post(models.Model):
    photo = DefaultStaticImageField(blank=True, default_image_path='images/blank.png')
  

• if there is no file in the default_image_path of the field or DEFAULT_IMAGE_PATH in settings.py, use the default image built into the package.

• if deploying to a production environment, you must run the ./manage.py collectstatic command to copy the image files included in the package to the static file serving path.
