Upload Profile Picture - Flask Fridays #38

Video Description

** ERROR UPDATE! - There's an error in the code preventing saving the profile pic: saver.save(os.path.join(app.config['UPLOAD_FOLDER']), pic_name) should be: saver.save(os.path.join(app.config['UPLOAD_FOLDER'], pic_name)) In this video I'll show you how to upload profile pics with Flask! We aren't going to save them to the database, we'll save the images to our static/images folder and create unique usernames for them. We'll also learn how to use UUID and UUID1 to create unique profile pic names, and why that's important! #flask #codemy #JohnElder Timecodes 0:00​​ - Introduction 2:56 - Add Profile_Pic Field To Form 3:38 - Update Dashboard Form 4:40 - Add Profile_Pic Field To User Model 5:46 - Migrate The Database 6:45 - Get Profile Pic Form Data 7:16 - Change Form Enctype 8:00 - Add Profile Pic Name To Dashboard 9:13 - Save Image Name To Database 9:40 - Import Secure_Filename, OS, and uuid 10:39 - Grab Image Name 11:17 - Add UUID To Image Name 13:07 - Save New UUID Image Name To Database 14:32 - Save Image To Images Folder 15:26 - Set Upload Folder Config Variable 16:26 - Save The File 18:15 - Error Handling 19:12 - Conclusion
