Hello,
I have a question from design perspective. I am creating a newsletter template where user would input text and upload a photo. I am using XHRUpload and I want to upload picture together with the text to the same entry in SQL database, for this I need them to be sent together. However, uppy.upload() method can only send picture data to the endpoint. Maybe someone can help here?
Regards,
Rokas
Hi!
Uppy supports sending metadata with the upload, which you’ll then receive on the server: https://uppy.io/docs/uppy/#meta. So you can do something like this:
const uppy = Uppy({...}) // instantiate Uppy
...
function handleUserInputText(text) {
uppy.setMeta({ userText: text }) // call .setMeta() to set the metadata
}
This metadata will be set to each file you users upload. If you want to specify metadata per individual file, it’s also possible via uppy.setFileMeta('fileID', { userText: text }).
We also have a UI in the Dashboard, where user can edit metadata fields: https://uppy.io/docs/dashboard/#metaFields, and they are also applied per file then.
