Installation

Cloudvault is built off of the Cloudinary platform. So before installing the package, it will be great to create an account and get the 'API CREDENTIALS'.

Click here to create an account and then get your credentials on login.

After that, you can proceed to cloudvault installation.

pip install cloudvault

Once cloudvault is installed, go to your project's settings.py and add the following lines

#!/usr/bin/python

# settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ... other apps
    "cloudvault" # can be omitted
]

CLOUDINARY = {
    "cloud_name": "your_cloud_name",
    "api_key": "your_api_key",
    "api_secret": "your_api_secret"
}

DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = "cloudvault.cloud_storage.CloudinaryStorage"

Usage

Nothing changes when using cloudvault in your project.

#!/usr/bin/python

# models.py


class Picture(models.Model):
    image = models.ImageField()

    def __str__(self);
        return str(self.id)

When a Picture instance is saved, it saves it to cloudinary self.image.url returns a url that points to the image on cloudinary
