How do I attach multiple photos to a post?

Question

Django

Hello!
There is a model, it is necessary that when creating a record, the user can attach their photos!
I see such an option (probably one of the simplest), is to add an additional QueryImage model, and use inlineformset_factory to make a form for images:

class Query(models.Model):
    # к этой модели нужно прикрепить фото
    # ...

class QueryImage(models.Model):
    query = models.ForeignKey('Query', related_name='images', verbose_name=u'Запрос')
    image = models.ImageField(u'Фото', upload_to='images/%Y/%m/%d')
    comment = models.CharField(u'Комментарии', max_length=200, blank=True)
    updated = models.DateTimeField(u'Изменен', auto_now=True)
    created = models.DateTimeField(u'Создан', auto_now_add=True)

Tell me how you implement a similar task in your projects (the task is quite popular)?
Are you using third party apps?

Answer 1

You have described a good one.
Instead of inline, you can throw in an API and send photos using AJAX (because, judging by the model, you do not limit the user to a specific number of photos).
By the way, use django-imagekit to compress photos (you don't know, maybe the user will want to send you a 400mb bitmap?)
And instead
use

image = ProcessedImageField(upload_to='your/path', 
                             processors=[ResizeToFit(800, 600)], 
                             format='JPEG', options={'quality': 70})

In this example, the image will fit into an 800x600 rectangle, keeping the aspect ratio. The other options are easy to guess.
