I am new to the Django Rest Framework.
I am trying to send email with attachment.
Here is my code.
model.py
class EmailModel(models.Model):
upload_file = models.FileField(upload_to='location/location/files', blank=False)
class Meta:
verbose_name = 'Applicant CSV Upload'
verbose_name_plural = 'Applicant CSV Upload'
admin.py
@admin.register(EmailModel)
class EmailAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
class Meta:
model = EmailModel
View.py
def send_email():
email = EmailMessage(
'Title',
('abc', '[email protected]', '123123123'),
'[email protected]',
['[email protected]']
)
email.attach_file(EmailViewSet.upload_file)
email.send()
class EmailViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
queryset = EmailModel.objects.all()
serializer_class = EmailSerializer
def create(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
send_mail(' Test Subject here', 'Test here is the message.', '[email protected]', ['[email protected]'], fail_silently=False)
response = super(EmailViewSet, self).create(request, *args, **kwargs)
send_email() # sending mail
data = [{'location': request.data.get('location'), 'image': file} for file in request.FILES.getlist('image')]
serializer = self.get_serializer(data=data, many=True)
serializer.is_valid(raise_exception=True)
self.perform_create(serializer)
headers = self.get_success_headers(serializer.data)
message = EmailMessage(subject='Applicant data', body='PFA', from_email='[email protected]',
to='[email protected]', bcc='[email protected]', connection=None,
attachments=data, headers=self.data, cc='[email protected]', reply_to=None)
# Attach file
# with open(attachment, 'rb') as file:
# message.attachments = [
# (attachment, file.read(), 'application/pdf')
# ]
return response, message.send(), Response(serializer.data, status=status.HTTP_201_CREATED, headers=headers)
Serializer.py
class EmailSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = EmailModel
fields = ('upload_file',)
settings.py
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.sendgrid.net'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'apikey' # this is exactly the value 'apikey'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'here i am using my sendgrid api key directy' # this is your API key
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = 'here i am using same gmail id on which i have created my send grid account'
In view.py and serializer.py
I have mentioned every method I tried for sending email so thats why it is so mixed up. None of the method is working.
Even create method does not invoke at all.
This is showing up on my api admin I want to change save button text to send.
- I don't want to create model. which is created for showing this filed on admin i required model.
- Also don't want to save file in folder. which is saving.
- filefiled just open the file and on my hardcoded email address send that file in email when I press save/send button.
