Django smart media

A suit of tools to use a FileField to upload image with light SVG support, include thumbnail preview in field and a template tag around sorl-thumbnail library.

Dependencies

• Python>=3.9;
• Django>=4.0,<5.1;
• sorl-thumbnail>=12.9.0;

Overview

Concretely this contains:

• Form widgets to build HTML for a FileField either with or without clearable mode. Both mode have a version to include needed layout assets (CSS and Javascript) and another one without assets;
• Form fields which already set a "smart" widget;
• Templates to build the widgets HTML;
• CSS and Javascript for the widget layout;
• Field validator;
• Model signals to purge stale files;
• Model field with all "smart" features;
• A template tag to make thumbnail safely with SVG image (original SVG is just used without Sorl raising issue for a non bitmap image);
• Some helpers to ease some specific implementations;

Although this can work with ImageField, SVG support will only work with FileField since ImageField rely on PIL that does not support SVG format.
