Multi-file upload

You can use the multi-file upload module in the editorial interface of Ibexa DXP. It provides an interface to publish content based on dropped files while uploading them in the interface.

Caution

If you want to load the multi-file upload module, you need to load the JS code for it in your view, as it is not available by default.

Use multi-file upload

With JS only:

React.createElement(ibexa.modules.MultiFileUpload, {
    onAfterUpload: {Function},
    adminUiConfig: {
        multiFileUpload: {
            defaultMappings: [{
                contentTypeIdentifier: {String},
                contentFieldIdentifier: {String},
                contentNameIdentifier: {String},
                mimeTypes: [{String}, {String}, ...]
            }],
            fallbackContentType: {
                contentTypeIdentifier: {String},
                contentFieldIdentifier: {String},
                contentNameIdentifier: {String}
            },
            locationMappings: [{Object}],
            maxFileSize: {Number}
        },
        token: {String},
        siteaccess: {String}
    },
    parentInfo: {
        contentTypeIdentifier: {String},
        contentTypeId: {Number},
        locationPath: {String},
        language: {String}
    }
});

With JSX:

const attrs = {
    onAfterUpload: {Function},
    adminUiConfig: {
        multiFileUpload: {
            defaultMappings: [{
                contentTypeIdentifier: {String},
                contentFieldIdentifier: {String},
                contentNameIdentifier: {String},
                mimeTypes: [{String}, {String}, ...]
            }],
            fallbackContentType: {
                contentTypeIdentifier: {String},
                contentFieldIdentifier: {String},
                contentNameIdentifier: {String}
            },
            locationMappings: [{Object}],
            maxFileSize: {Number}
        },
        token: {String},
        siteaccess: {String}
    },
    parentInfo: {
        contentTypeIdentifier: {String},
        contentTypeId: {Number},
        locationPath: {String},
        language: {String}
    }
};

<MultiFileUploadModule {...attrs}/>
