A low-level ASGI response, streaming a file as response body.

Parameters:

• background – A background task or a list of background tasks to be executed after the response is sent.

• body – encoded content to send in the response body.

• chunk_size – The chunk size to use.

• content_disposition_type – The type of the Content-Disposition. Either inline or attachment.

• content_length – The response content length.

• cookies – The response cookies.

• encoded_headers – A list of encoded headers.

• encoding – The response encoding.

• etag – An etag.

• file_info – A file info.

• file_path – A path to a file.

• file_system – A file system adapter.

• filename – The name of the file.

• headers – A dictionary of headers.

• headers – The response headers.

• is_head_response – A boolean indicating if the response is a HEAD response.

• media_type – The media type of the file.

• stat_result – A stat result.

• status_code – The response status code.

async send_body(send: Send, receive: Receive) → None

Emit a stream of events correlating with the response body.

Parameters:

• send – The ASGI send function.

• receive – The ASGI receive function.

Returns:

None

async start_response(send: Send) → None

Emit the start event of the response. This event includes the headers and status codes.

Parameters:

send – The ASGI send function.

Returns:

None

class litestar.response.file.File

Bases: Response

A response, streaming a file as response body.

__init__(path: str | PathLike | Path, *, background: BackgroundTask | BackgroundTasks | None = None, chunk_size: int = 1048576, content_disposition_type: Literal['attachment', 'inline'] = 'attachment', cookies: ResponseCookies | None = None, encoding: str = 'utf-8', etag: ETag | None = None, file_info: FileInfo | Coroutine[Any, Any, FileInfo] | None = None, file_system: FileSystemProtocol | None = None, filename: str | None = None, headers: ResponseHeaders | None = None, media_type: Literal[MediaType.TEXT] | str | None = None, stat_result: stat_result_type | None = None, status_code: int | None = None) → None

Initialize File

Notes

• This class extends the Stream class.

Parameters:

• path – A file path in one of the supported formats.

• background – A BackgroundTask instance or BackgroundTasks to execute after the response is finished. Defaults to None.

• chunk_size – The chunk sizes to use when streaming the file. Defaults to 1MB.

• content_disposition_type – The type of the Content-Disposition. Either inline or attachment.

• cookies – A list of Cookie instances to be set under the response Set-Cookie header.

• encoding – The encoding to be used for the response headers.

• etag – An optional ETag instance. If not provided, an etag will be generated.

• file_info – The output of calling file_system.info, equivalent to providing an os.stat_result.

• file_system – An implementation of the FileSystemProtocol. If provided it will be used to load the file.

• filename – An optional filename to set in the header.

• headers – A string keyed dictionary of response headers. Header keys are insensitive.

• media_type – A value for the response Content-Type header. If not provided, the value will be either derived from the filename if provided and supported by the stdlib, or will default to application/octet-stream.

• stat_result – An optional result of calling :func:os.stat:. If not provided, this will be done by the response constructor.

• status_code – An HTTP status code.

Create an ASGIFileResponse instance.

Parameters:

• app – The Litestar application instance.

• background – Background task(s) to be executed after the response is sent.

• cookies – A list of cookies to be set on the response.

• encoded_headers – A list of already encoded headers.

• headers – Additional headers to be merged with the response headers. Response headers take precedence.

• is_head_response – Whether the response is a HEAD response.

• media_type – Media type for the response. If media_type is already set on the response, this is ignored.

• request – The Request instance.

• status_code – Status code for the response. If status_code is already set on the response, this is

• type_encoders – A dictionary of type encoders to use for encoding the response content.

Returns:

A low-level ASGI file response.

async litestar.response.file.async_file_iterator(file_path: PathType, chunk_size: int, adapter: FileSystemAdapter) → AsyncGenerator[bytes, None]

Return an async that asynchronously reads a file and yields its chunks.

Parameters:

• file_path – A path to a file.

• chunk_size – The chunk file to use.

• adapter – File system adapter class.

• adapter – File system adapter class.

Returns:

An async generator.

litestar.response.file.create_etag_for_file(path: PathType, modified_time: float | None, file_size: int) → str

Create an etag.

Notes

• Function is derived from flask.

Returns:

An etag.
