Upload and process images in Play

[davidkneely]

I initially created the createUser.html page with input fields. Then I updated some of them to textareas. Now I want to update the image upload feature.

You guys have any suggestions for image upload fields? I'm thinking of making something like the image upload field in the advanced section on this page: http://plugins.krajee.com/file-input/demo

I just ran across this Play API for uploading content.

I'll look over this tonight and get working File Upload object.

This is the most in-depth tutorial on file uploads I've been able to find: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/using-amazon-s3-for-file-uploads-with-java-and-play-2

Functional testing for image uploads: http://hosseinkaz.blogspot.com/2014/11/test-file-upload-in-playframework2-java.html

This appears to be a potentially simpler way to process this: https://www.playframework.com/documentation/1.2.x/jpa

According to Prof. Johnson, we should hold off on worrying about Image uploads / hosting until the Database portion of the class during Milestone 2. For the Milestone 1 implementation, we can use static files, but they still have to be relevant to the context, IE, not the same generic image for everything.

Store these in public/images/milestone1.

Keep filenames as follows:

"magicianName.imgtype" "routineName.imgtype"

Some more info on this that I've researched:

David is a beast. This is resolved.
