## django-upstorage-backend

This is a custom django storage backend for `UpStorage`

## Installation
1. Install Library Using `pip`
````shell script
>> pip install django-upstorage-backend
````

## Starting Guide

1. Set The Custom Storage Backend. Now Open settings.py of your project.
````python
DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = 'django-upstorage-backend.storages.backends.U3Storage'
````

2. Set some required KEYS to `settings.py`
````python
AUTH_TOKEN = 'auth token from your account'
API_KEY = 'api key of your project'
USERNAME = 'username of your account'
PROJECT_NAME = 'Created Project name'
````

Thats it, We are all done. Now all of your files will be handeled by the custom UpStorage's Backend Storage.

## Advanced Guide

* `You don't need to set 'upload_to' in model Fields (Defaultly it files will be saved on the root of your project.)`

* `File Link Will Be Stored On Your Model As Expected.You Can call them as you do usally.`

* `You Can also set 'upload_to='specific/folder' in your model like:`
````python
Class TestModel(model.Model):
image = models.ImageField(upload_to='to/my/folder')

# this will save the file to that folder.if there's no folder it will create it.
````

* `If you want to delete the image from the UpStorage Bucket when you delete it from django, you have to do it a bit differently.Lemme show you`
````python
Class TestModel(model.Model):
image = models.ImageField()

# To delete the image you have to delete that by writing:

obj = TestModel.objects.get(id=pk)
obj.image.delete()

# You can't directly delete it like this:

obj.delete() # this won't delete the file from UpStorage

# You have to delete the file field first to delete it.
````
To make it simple you can override `delete` Method on your Model

````python
Class TestModel(model.Model):
image = models.ImageField()

def delete(self):
self.image.delete()
super(TestModel, self).delete()
````
