UploadFile handling

[dawn flicker]

I'm not quite sure how to handle an UploadFile object. I'm using Literstar with Motor, and in Mongo I can store binary objects in the db. I would like to have a user profile with a profile picture field that stores an image. I defined the model in Pydantic as

class User(BaseModel):
    username: str
    password: str
    display_name: str
    profile_picture: UploadFile
    birthdate: date

Now, this works for a post route, where I receive multipart data from the frontend - but what about a get route where I fetch an object from the db and pass it to the frontend? Do I create a second model with UploadFile replaced with bytes?

You'll need different models for how you receive / return data and what you store in the database

Your DB model should be the one that has the profile_picture as bytes, as that's how it's stored in the DB. Then the other models could "translate" from that
