Drag And Drop File Html5 Striped
When dragging and dropping into that red square, the browser needs to know how to react. By default, it has its own ideas. That div element will tell you to buzz off if we try dragging stuff over it with the mouse. So we'll throw in a preventDefault invocation to say to the browser 'Relax, I got this.' Then there are the drops which are their own kettle of fish.

Often times, browsers seem to like popping open a new tab to display dropped content. We don't want that so another preventDefault heads that problem off at the pass.Now, as for the file, we have to dig into the event to this thing called a dataTransfer. To me, dataTransfer plays the role of a handbag to store things in when taking dragged stuff from point A to point B. I don't know if that's the official definition but, for our purposes, it works.For the moment, we just fish out the file that got stored there when we dragged it in. Then, we just display the name in the Chrome console.
Hey look, a file!And now I'm bored of Javascript. Let's switch to server side and talk Python. We'll deal with the rest of the client-side of things later.
Beyond which you need to implement that function so it actually takes care of getting that fresh list. Easy enough to implement. Standard templating. Click and if curious.Okay, so then what? That /filenames endpoint. We really should take care of that. But first, a quick tweak to sendfile.

A line like this after saving the file would be nice.# open and close to update the access time.with open(savepath, 'r') as f:passThe point of this is that I want to see the files in the order that they are uploaded. Doing a quick open/close changes the access time. Now we have files with a chronological upload history. Coolness!Oh yes, that /filenames thing. Here's that.Well, that was kind of weird and hacky. Notice this lambda?
