Lista och servera filer från GridFS med Flask

För att skicka filen till klienten kan du förbereda en vy som liknar denna:

@app.route('/client/serve/<file_id>/', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
@login_required
def serve_file(file_id):
    from mongoengine.connection import get_db
    from gridfs import GridFS, NoFile
    from bson.objectid import ObjectId
    from flask import make_response

    db = get_db()
    fs = GridFS(db)
    try:
        f = fs.get(ObjectId(file_id))
    except NoFile:
        fs = GridFS(db, collection='images')  # mongoengine stores images in a separate collection by default
        try:
            f = fs.get(ObjectId(file_id))
        except NoFile:
            raise ValueError("File not found!")

    response = make_response(f.read())
    response.mimetype = 'image/jpeg'
    return response
