Django - FileField check if None
I have a model with an optional file field
class MyModel(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
sound = models.FileField(upload_to='audio/', blank=True)
Let's put a value
>>> test = MyModel(name='machin')
>>> test.save()
Why do I get that ?
>>> test.sound
<FieldFile: None>
>>> test.sound is None
False
How can I check if there is a file set ?
if test.sound.name:
print "I have a sound file"
else:
print "no sound"
Also, FieldFile
's boolean value will be False when there's no file: bool(test.sound) == False
when test.sound.name
is falsy.
