Getting the File Path of an Uploaded File Using Django's ModelForm

I had the opportunity to get the file path of an uploaded file using Django’s ModelForm, so I am making a note of it.

Assume the following model.

class Document(models.Model):
    file = models.FileField(upload_to='documents/')

With the above, the path could be accessed using the following views.

from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
from .forms import DocumentForm

def upload_file(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = DocumentForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
        if form.is_valid():
            document = form.save()
            file_url = document.file.url  # Correct field name used here
            full_path = document.file.path  # Correct field name used here
            return redirect('some-view')
    else:
        form = DocumentForm()

    return render(request, 'upload.html', {'form': form})

This may be basic, but I hope you find it helpful.
