Symfony Bundle for adding a file picker component to form inputs

Warning: This package is at a very early stage of development. Use at your own risk

Installation

Step 1: Download the Bundle

Open a command console, enter your project directory and execute the following command to download the latest stable version of this bundle:

$ composer require evansmwendwa/filepicker-bundle "dev-master"

This command requires you to have Composer installed globally, as explained in the installation chapter of the Composer documentation.

Step 2: Enable the Bundle

Then, enable the bundle by adding it to the list of registered bundles in the app/AppKernel.php file of your project:

<?php
// app/AppKernel.php

// ...
class AppKernel extends Kernel
{
    public function registerBundles()
    {
        $bundles = array(
            // ...

            new Evans\FilepickerBundle\EvansFilepickerBundle(),
        );

        // ...
    }

    // ...
}

Step 3: Create config parameters

# app/config/config.yml
evans_filepicker:
    uploads_destination: '/uploads/images'
    allow_uploads: true
    allowed_mimes: ['image/jpeg','image/png','image/gif']
    group_files: false

Step 4: Register form theme in twig

# Twig Configuration
twig:
    form_themes:
        - EvansFilepickerBundle::form/fields.html.twig

Step 5: Load bundle assets in your Twig Template

The bundle provides two twig functions for loading the necessary HTML, CSS and JS. Add these functions somewhere in your twig template. Can be base in you base template if necessary

# loads necessary html and js files
{{ file_picker_init() }}

# loads necessary css files
{{ file_picker_init_css() }}

Step 6: Register FilepickerBundle Routes

# app/config/routing.yml

evans_filepicker:
    resource: "@EvansFilepickerBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml"
    prefix:   /
