+# django-s3file
+
+A lightweight file upload input for Django and Amazon S3.
+
+Django-S3File allows you to upload files directly AWS S3 effectively
+bypassing your application server. This allows you to avoid long running
+requests from large file uploads. This is particularly helpful for if
+you run your service on AWS Lambda or Heroku where you have a hard
+request limit.

+
+In a nutshell, we can bypass Django completely and have AWS handle
+the upload or any processing. Of course, if you want to do something
+with your file in Django, you can do so, just like before, with the
+added advantage, that your file is served from within your datacenter.
+
+## Installation
+
+Make sure you have [Amazon S3
+storage](http://django-storages.readthedocs.io/en/latest/backends/amazon-S3.html)
+setup correctly.
+
+Just install S3file using `pip`.
+
+```bash
+pip install django-s3file
+# or
+pipenv install django-s3file
+```
+
+Add the S3File app and middleware in your settings:
+
+```python
+# settings.py
+
+INSTALLED_APPS = (
+    '...',
+    's3file',
+    '...',
+)
+
+MIDDLEWARE = (
+    '...',
+    's3file.middleware.S3FileMiddleware',
+    '...',
+)
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+S3File automatically replaces Django's `ClearableFileInput` widget, you
+do not need to alter your code at all.
+
+The `ClearableFileInput` widget is only than automatically replaced when
+the `DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE` setting is set to `django-storages`'
+`S3Boto3Storage` or the dummy `FileSystemStorage` is enabled.
+
+### Setting up the AWS S3 bucket
+
+#### Upload folder
+
+S3File uploads to a single folder. Files are later moved by Django when
+they are saved to the `upload_to` location.
+
+It is recommended to [setup
+expiration](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/intro-lifecycle-rules.html)
+for that folder, to ensure that old and unused file uploads don't add up
+and produce costs.
+
+The default folder name is: `tmp/s3file` You can change it by changing
+the `S3FILE_UPLOAD_PATH` setting.
+
+#### CORS policy
+
+You will need to allow `POST` from all origins. Just add the following
+to your CORS policy.
+
+```json
+[
+  {
+    "AllowedHeaders": [
+        "*"
+    ],
+    "AllowedMethods": [
+        "POST"
+    ],
+    "AllowedOrigins": [
+        "*"
+    ],
+    "ExposeHeaders": [],
+    "MaxAgeSeconds": 3000
+  }
+]
+```
+
+### Progress Bar
+
+S3File does emit progress signals that can be used to display some kind
+of progress bar. Signals named `progress` are emitted for both each
+individual file input as well as for the form as a whole.
+
+The progress signal carries the following details:
+
+```javascript
+console.log(event.detail)
+
+{
+    progress: 0.4725307607171312  // total upload progress of either a form or single input
+    loaded: 1048576  // total upload progress of either a form or single input
+    total: 2219064  // total bytes to upload
+    currentFile: File {…}  // file object
+    currentFileName: "text.txt"  // file name of the file currently uploaded
+    currentFileProgress: 0.47227834703299176  // upload progress of that file
+    originalEvent: ProgressEvent {…} // the original XHR onprogress event
+}
+```
+
+The following example implements a Boostrap progress bar for upload
+progress of an entire form.
+
+```html
+<div class="progress">
+  <div class="progress-bar" role="progressbar" style="width: 0%;" aria-valuenow="0" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100">0%</div>
+</div>
+```
+
+```javascript
+(function () {
+    var form = document.getElementsByTagName('form')[0]
+    var progressBar = document.getElementsByClassName('progress-bar')[0]
+
+    form.addEventListener('progress', function (event) {
+        // event.detail.progress is a value between 0 and 1
+        var percent = Math.round(event.detail.progress * 100)
+
+        progressBar.setAttribute('style', 'width:' + percent + '%')
+        progressBar.setAttribute('aria-valuenow', percent)
+        progressBar.innerText = percent + '%'
+    })
+})()
+```
+
+### Using S3File in development
+
+Using S3File in development can be helpful especially if you want to use
+the progress signals described above. Therefore, S3File comes with a AWS
+S3 dummy backend. It behaves similar to the real S3 storage backend. It
+is automatically enabled, if the `DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE` setting is set
+to `FileSystemStorage`.
+
+To prevent users from accidentally using the `FileSystemStorage` and the
+insecure S3 dummy backend in production, there is also an additional
+deployment check that will error if you run Django\'s deployment check
+suite:
+
+```shell
+python manage.py check --deploy
+```
+
+We recommend always running the deployment check suite as part of your
+deployment pipeline.
+
+### Uploading multiple files
+
+Django does have limited support for [uploading multiple
+files](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/topics/http/file-uploads/#uploading-multiple-files).
+S3File fully supports this feature. The custom middleware makes ensure
+that files are accessible via `request.FILES`, even though they have
+been uploaded to AWS S3 directly and not to your Django application
+server.
+
+### Using optimized S3Boto3Storage
+
+Since `S3Boto3Storage` supports storing data from any other fileobj, it
+uses a generalized `_save` function. This leads to the frontend
+uploading the file to S3 and then copying it byte-by-byte to perform a
+move operation just to rename the uploaded object. For large files this
+leads to additional loading times for the user.
+
+That\'s why S3File provides an optimized version of this method at
+`storages_optimized.S3OptimizedUploadStorage`. It uses the more
+efficient `copy` method from S3, given that we know that we only copy
+from one S3 location to another.
+
+```python
+from s3file.storages_optimized import S3OptimizedUploadStorage
+
+class MyStorage(S3OptimizedUploadStorage):  # Subclass and use like any other storage
+    default_acl = 'private'
+```
