anvil.media Module

Classes

TempFile TempUrl

Classes

TempFile

Create a temporary file initialised with the contents of the provided media, if any.

Constructor

TempFile([media])

    Instance Methods

    __enter__() → string

    __exit__()

    TempUrl

    Creates a temporary client-side URL for a Media object, even if the media has no permanent URL. This URL should be revoked when you are finished with it. If you use TempUrl as a context manager (‘with TempUrl(media) as url:’), this happens automatically; if you instantiate it manually you must call ‘revoke()’ on the instance.

    The download argument only affects LazyMedia objects

    Constructor

    TempUrl(media, download=True)

      Instance Methods

      __enter__() → url

      get the url using a ‘with’ block.

      __exit__()

      Revoke a url when exiting a ‘with’ block

      revoke()

      revoke a url from a media object

      TempUrl Attributes

      url - string
