drf-yasg: Image field not displaying in swagger ui

Question

I am new to django-rest-framework. I am using DRF and drf-yasg Swagger. Can any body help to upload image from request body? I am not able to upload image from request body. My current view.py:

@swagger_auto_schema(method='post', request_body=MySerializer)
@api_view(['POST'])
def image(request):
    profile_img = request.FILES.get('profile_img', '')
    cover_img = request.FILES.get('cover_img', '')
    ...
    pass

my_serializer.py:

class MySerializer(serializers.Serializer):
    profile_img = serializers.ImageField()
    profile_img = serializers.ImageField()

Can any one explain the problem?

Answer 1

Set FormParser class in your view function as,

@swagger_auto_schema(method='post', request_body=MySerializer)
@api_view(['POST'])

def image(request):
    profile_img = request.FILES.get('profile_img', '')
    cover_img = request.FILES.get('cover_img', '')

Answer 2

Use MultiPartParse as you are using images.

from rest_framework.parsers import MultiPartParser
from rest_framework.decorators import parser_classes

@parser_classes((MultiPartParser,))
def image(request):
    profile_img = request.FILES.get('profile_img', '')
    cover_img = request.FILES.get('cover_img', '')
