I would like to know how I can store files uploaded by form within the static directory of a spring boot project.
I would like to know how I can store files uploaded by form within the static directory of a spring boot project.
in Spring there is a tutorial that deals specifically with that, you can also find the implementation in GitHub
You can see the details in the links that I indicated, but the main thing is to make a controller that manages the upload of files:
@Controller
public class FileUploadController {
private final StorageService storageService;
@Autowired
public FileUploadController(StorageService storageService) {
this.storageService = storageService;
}
@GetMapping("/")
public String listUploadedFiles(Model model) throws IOException {
model.addAttribute("files", storageService
.loadAll()
.map(path ->
MvcUriComponentsBuilder
.fromMethodName(FileUploadController.class, "serveFile", path.getFileName().toString())
.build().toString())
.collect(Collectors.toList()));
return "uploadForm";
}
@GetMapping("/files/{filename:.+}")
@ResponseBody
public ResponseEntity<Resource> serveFile(@PathVariable String filename) {
Resource file = storageService.loadAsResource(filename);
return ResponseEntity
.ok()
.header(HttpHeaders.CONTENT_DISPOSITION, "attachment; filename=\""+file.getFilename()+"\"")
.body(file);
}
@PostMapping("/")
public String handleFileUpload(@RequestParam("file") MultipartFile file,
RedirectAttributes redirectAttributes) {
storageService.store(file);
redirectAttributes.addFlashAttribute("message",
"You successfully uploaded " + file.getOriginalFilename() + "!");
return "redirect:/";
}
@ExceptionHandler(StorageFileNotFoundException.class)
public ResponseEntity handleStorageFileNotFound(StorageFileNotFoundException exc) {
return ResponseEntity.notFound().build();
}
}
A form that serves as an interface for the user and that calls the previously created driver:
<html xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org">
<body>
<div th:if="${message}">
<h2 th:text="${message}"/>
</div>
<div>
<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="/">
<table>
<tr><td>File to upload:</td><td><input type="file" name="file" /></td></tr>
<tr><td></td><td><input type="submit" value="Upload" /></td></tr>
</table>
</form>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li th:each="file : ${files}">
<a th:href="${file}" th:text="${file}" />
</li>
</ul>
</div>
and an executable class
@SpringBootApplication
@EnableConfigurationProperties(StorageProperties.class)
public class Application {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
}
@Bean
CommandLineRunner init(StorageService storageService) {
return (args) -> {
storageService.deleteAll();
storageService.init();
};
}
}
