I'm struggling with incorporating file/image uploads using tastypie, backbone, and knockout
[knockout] I'm not sure how to specify the data-bind for the input field to enable file uploads:
// current implementation
<input type="file" data-bind="value: image"/>
[backbone] Although I have set the post URL, the uploaded file is treated as a string in this scenario
imageModel.get("image") //returns a string like C:/image
[tastypie] After saving the model, the FileField remains only a string instead of uploading the actual file. It does not follow the expected upload_to=... django dynamics
# code snippet from my tastypie resource
class ImageResource(ModelResource):
image = fields.FileField(attribute="image")
# ...
This question covers multiple areas, so finding a single solution for all might be challenging. Can someone offer guidance on the backbone to tastypie (sending text only) and the tastypie to db (absence of upload_to causing files not to save) issues?
