[FIXED] How to save an html file in django?
Issue
I have a view that forms the html template
class CvView(AuthorizedMixin, View):
def get(self, request, employee_id, format_):
employee = get_object_or_404(Employee, pk=employee_id)
user = request.user
content_type, data = Cv(employee, format_, user).get()
print(type(data))
if isinstance(data, BytesIO):
return FileResponse(
data, as_attachment=True, filename=f'cv.{format_}',
content_type=content_type)
return HttpResponse(data, content_type=content_type)
This view has a data variable. This variable contains the body of the html template. If I’m printed in a console print(data) I get
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
.....
</head>
<body>
.....
</body>
The type of values is <class 'django.utils.safestring.SafeText'>
I’m interested in the question: can I get an html file from this variable and save it on disk? How can I do this?
Solution
Tried this?
with open('template.html', 'w+') as output:
output.write(str(data))
