Add an 'Image' media bundle

[dannylamb]

Depends on https://github.com/Islandora-CLAW/CLAW/issues/482

Create a media bundle for images, and export it into the islandora_image module. Make sure it can accept tiff and jp2 images in addition to the usual png, jpg, bmp, etc...

I can take this on if it makes sense to do so. I see @kimpham54 is working on #482 which is related.

[dannylamb]

@jyobb We'll have to wrap up #482 so you'll have a place to deposit the yml files you'll be exporting. But feel free to go ahead and attempt to make the media bundle yourself through the UI.

Feel free to tag me if you need help.

What UI should I be using. I'm a supernewb.

[dannylamb]

@jyobb If you go to http://localhost:8000/admin/structure there should be a link to edit media bundles. You can add a new Media bundle from there. You'll need to give it an 'Image' field as its contents and set that up to.

I'm in the process of spinning up a new vagrant so I can't take screen shots to show you. I'll post them in a bit if you're still having problems. Feel free to tag me if you have any new questions in the meantime.

@dannylamb I can make the bundle no problem. Have there been any decisions made about what fields are needed?

[dannylamb]

@jyobb The only field strictly required would be the image field to hold the actual contents. Media bundles really serve the display layer more than anything else, and aside from linking to the contents, there's no plans at the moment for exposing any of its fields as jsonld. So there's no need to do a metadata mapping or whatnot. Basically, as soon as you have set things up where you can make the Media through admin/content and you see the thumbnail, you're good to issue a PR.

The important things is that it's configured to hold tiffs and jp2s. By default Drupal image fields only support the usual suspects of jpg, png, etc...

@dannylamb are we not using https://github.com/drupal-media/media_entity_image anymore?

[dannylamb]

@DiegoPino The media_entity_image module is enabled by default on the vagrant environment and is the 'Type Provider' @jyobb will be using to make the media bundle.

[dannylamb]

@jyobb TL;DR w/r/t @DiegoPino's comment, as long as you select 'Image' in the 'Type Provider' drop down, you're good to go :+1: It should look something like this:

[jyobb]

I have created the media bundle but am a bit lost on how to export the yaml files.

[DiegoPino]

@jyobb hope this helps https://docs.acquia.com/article/lesson_52_exporting_configurations! 😄

Ok.

1. Go to Admin > Development > Configuration Synchronization
2. Then click the Export tab.
3. Then choose Single item
4. Then select your item from the drop-down, it will display in the text box and should give you the path of the file below that.

Sorry my drupal 8 got corrupted as I was trying to check this, so I'm doing this a little from memory.

[jyobb]

thanks

Once this is done how do I add it to the project? I ran through the export media bundle and can see the yaml. Unfortunately, the export button is missing but I'll figure that out.

[dannylamb]

@jyobb It's a pretty low-tech solution. Just copy/paste it from Drupal into a yaml file in /config/install. At the very bottom, underneath the text area with the contents, Drupal will tell you what to name the file.

And from the looks of it, https://github.com/Islandora-CLAW/islandora_image doesn't have a /config/install directory, so you'll have to make it.
