How to pass a list of uploaded files to views.py, all the docks just throw an example, but I don’t understand how to connect it.

Answer 1

SHADRIN here is a link to the documentation Uploading multiple files . Specifically, in your case, you need to change the form field as follows

attachments = models.FileField(widget=forms.ClearableFileInput(attrs={'multiple': True}))

this is the first, and the second field in your template is generally called differently, it should be like this

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
    {% csrf_token %}
    {{ form.attachments }}
    <button type="submit">Upload</button>
</form>

Whether you're probably using an Ajax loading library is another matter. As I understood speech about normal POST request.
