I am trying to wire up the ImagesLoader plugin, which allows uploading multiple images. It has a nice drag-n-drop UI but I just can't figure out how to get the images that were uploaded. I cannot find any documentation.
Link to the plugin page: ImagesLoader
Here is the javascript from the demo:
<script type="text/javascript">
// Ready
$(document).ready(function () {
// Create image loader plugin
var imagesloader = $('[data-type=imagesloader]').imagesloader({
minSelect: 3
,imagesToLoad: [{"Url":"./img/Nespresso001.jpg","Name":"Nespresso001"},{"Url":"./img/Nespresso002.jpg","Name":"Nespresso002"}]
});
//Form
$frm = $('#frm');
// Form submit
$frm.submit(function (e) {
var $form = $(this);
var files = imagesloader.data('format.imagesloader').AttachmentArray;
var il = imagesloader.data('format.imagesloader');
if (il.CheckValidity())
alert('Upload ' + files.length + ' files');
e.preventDefault();
e.stopPropagation();
});
});
The images are saved in the object "files". Here is a screen shot of the contents from the inspector:
I tried converting to json and posting, but that only generates an error.
$.ajax({
url: 'process-images.php',
type: 'POST',
data: JSON.stringify(files),
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
dataType: 'json',
cache: false,
error: function() {alert("ERROR");},
success: function() {alert("OK");}
});
The rest of the code works just like the demo. Looks like everything needed for the uploaded images is stored in "files". I just need to get the data back to php and I can pull it apart from there. But right now, the original submit code just dies or my addition aborts with an error.
THANKS!
I hope it is not too late to answer. You just need to loop through the base64 encoded image object, decoding and saving each image to the disk.
// Sample code
foreach(json_decode($request->input('files')) as $file) {
$name = $file->FileName
$imagePath = storage_path('app/public/images/');
file_put_contents($imagePath.$name, base64_decode($file->Base64));
}
