How to return image stored in database with Python Flask?
To return image stored in database with Python Flask, we can use the make_response function.
For instance, we write
@app.route('/images/<int:pid>.jpg')
def get_image(pid):
image_binary = read_image(pid)
response = make_response(image_binary)
response.headers.set('Content-Type', 'image/jpeg')
response.headers.set(
'Content-Disposition', 'attachment', filename='%s.jpg' % pid)
return response
to call make_response on the image_binary image.
Then we call response.headers.set to add a new response headers for the file.
And then we return the response with the image as the body and the headers.
