Autoform Ufs

Description

Upload and manage files with autoForm via jalik:ufs.

This version allows you to choose between using an external link, or Uploading a file to be stored on the server in a specified collection.

Looks like this before uploading or specifying a link:

After uploading or specifying a link:

Quick Start:

• Install meteor add jalik:ufs if not yet installed

• Install meteor add aldeed:autoform if not yet installed

• Install meteor add droka:autoform-ufs

• Add this config to simpl-schema NPM package (depending of the language that you are using):

SimpleSchema.setDefaultMessages({
  initialLanguage: 'en',
  messages: {
    en: {
      uploadError: '{{value}}', //File-upload
    },
  }
});

• Create your Files Collection (See jalik:ufs)

• Define your schema and set the autoform property like in the example below

Schemas = {};
Posts   = new Meteor.Collection('posts');
Schemas.Posts = new SimpleSchema({
  title: {
    type: String,
    max: 60
  },
  picture: {
    type: String,
    autoform: {
      afFieldInput: {
        type: 'fileUpload',
        collection: 'images',
      }
    }
  }
});

Posts.attachSchema(Schemas.Posts);

Generate the form with {{> quickform}} or {{#autoform}} as usual

You also have to have a Store by the same name as your collection (so with the name 'images' in this example).

Code inspired by ostrio:autoform-files.
