Actions after uploading a file

Maikel

Hey,

i'm using a standalone editor to do some upload of files, but after the upload i want to run some custom functions (server side is php) on the uploaded file, and then store the output of these functions either in the returned json or in the db.

How would i handle this? what hook should i use for it?

The postUpload event in the server-side libraries is the one you want here.

indeed, thats the event, but how can i push some data into the returning json?

You'd need to do something like:

$extra = [];
$editor = Editor::inst( ... )
  ->field( ... )
  ->on( 'postUpload', function ( ... ) use ( $extra ) {
    $extra = 1; // or whatever
  } );

$data = $editor
  ->process( $_POST )
  ->data();

$data['extra'] = $extra;

echo json_encode( $data );
