Fastapi: [Question] Is there any proper way to upload files

[Navan0]

Is there any proper way to upload files and configure paths like in Flask ?

UPLOAD_FOLDER = '/path/to/the/uploads'
app.config['UPLOAD_FOLDER'] = UPLOAD_FOLDER

(https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/1.1.x/patterns/fileuploads/)

Yeah, but for saving the files now I'm using shutil

for idx, img in enumerate(images):
    with open(str(idx)+".jpg", "wb") as buffer:
        shutil.copyfileobj(img.file, buffer)

Because you are able to save the file async right now, Flask doesn't provide you an alternative. In FastAPI it is totally up to you, you can either use a coroutine or a function. Since you can use coroutine you can also use libraries like aiofiles.

import aiofiles

@app.post("/uploadfile/")
async def cache_favicon(file: UploadFile = File(...)):
    async with aiofiles.open("destination.jpg" , "wb") as f:
        await f.write(await file.read())
