A question about file field tipe

[leonardorame]

I added a field type to one of my entities. After I click browse and select the file, the file is uploaded automatically. But it does a post to /upload route, how can I create a custom url passing the entity Id?.

for example:

.uploadInformation({url: route_of_entity + '/upload/:id'})

This should give something like: 'item/upload/21'.

Also, how can I get the route of an entity?.

@jeromemacias any insight?

[jeromemacias]

To get a complete url for your entity you have to retrieve the baseApiUrl you previously define in your ng-admin Application configuration and retrieve entity name.

For example: .uploadInformation({url: baseApiUrl + yourEntity.name() + '/upload/:id'})

Thanks @jeromemacias for writing, but the string '/upload/:id' is not replaced to the correct identifier, i.e.: /upload/123. How can I get that identifier?.

[jeromemacias]

Mmm, exact, but how we can handle the creation part ? I think you need to do the binding between the upload file and the entity when the form is submitting, using the filename returning by upload.

[leonardorame]

@jeromemacias for now, on the creation part I forbid uploading images.

Your suggestion implies the existence of an event after upload, does anyone know which event is fired after upload?.

BTW, I don't know why the upload POST is sent just after selecting a file instead of sending the whole package on form submission.

I finally store all files in an /upload directory, then, when submitting the form, there's an upload_filename param with the recently uploaded file.

Using the upload_filename param I can store it's path in my database.

Please help me . i develop an admin page for a website and i don't now how to upload image with ng-admin

[hmendes00]

I have the same problem as @jeanlucDjeke . Can anyone help us with that?

here's my code:

companies.creationView() .fields([ nga.field('name') .validation({ required: true }), nga.field('logo', 'file').uploadInformation({ 'fileName': nga.field('name') + '.png', 'url': (baseurl + 'companies/logos'), 'method': 'PUT'})

]);

but do I need to put some server-side code? how can I see the image?

thank you, guys.

Hi Jean,

Actually I don't have a server side for that.. I can't find a place to do that. I was hoping someone could come up with an explanation about how to do an upload using ng-admin properly.
