+Uploading multiple files
+------------------------
+
+If you want to upload multiple files using one form field, set the ``multiple``
+HTML attribute of field's widget:
+
+.. snippet::
+ :filename: forms.py
+
+ from django import forms
+
+ class FileFieldForm(forms.Form):
+ file_field = forms.FileField(widget=forms.ClearableFileInput(attrs={'multiple': True}))
+
+Then override the ``post`` method of your
+:class:`~django.views.generic.edit.FormView` subclass to handle multiple file
+uploads:
+
+.. snippet::
+ :filename: views.py
+
+ from django.views.generic.edit import FormView
+ from .forms import FileFieldForm
+
+ class FileFieldView(FormView):
+ form_class = FileFieldForm
+ template_name = 'upload.html' # Replace with your template.
+ success_url = '...' # Replace with your URL or reverse().
+
+ def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
+ form_class = self.get_form_class()
+ form = self.get_form(form_class)
+ files = request.FILES.getlist('file_field')
+ if form.is_valid():
+ for f in files:
+ ... # Do something with each file.
+ return self.form_valid(form)
+ else:
+ return self.form_invalid(form)
