Meteor-files: When I am attaching the new schema to config object I got errors

[azju]

I did the same the the schema document, but I got Error: Match error: Expected plain object.

What I want to do is to add a customised field to each of uploaded images.
Can you please advice how to solve it?

Warm regards

Hi @Beable2 ,

To help you I need:

1. Full error stack, it's Client side or Server side errors?
2. Code you're using to attach your schema, and your schema

[dr-dimitru]

@Beable2 any news on your end?

Hi Dimitru,

Thanks you very much for your prompt rely.

I want to change the the default upload image schema with the following:

var defaultSchema = {
  size: {
    type: Number
  },
  name: {
    type: String
  },
  type: {
    type: String
  },
  path: {
    type: String
  },
  isVideo: {
    type: Boolean
  },
  isAudio: {
    type: Boolean
  },
  isImage: {
    type: Boolean
  },
  isText: {
    type: Boolean
  },
  isJSON: {
    type: Boolean
  },
  isPDF: {
    type: Boolean
  },
  extension: {
    type: String,
    optional: true
  },
  _storagePath: {
    type: String
  },
  _downloadRoute: {
    type: String
  },
  _collectionName: {
    type: String
  },
  public: {
    type: Boolean,
    optional: true
  },
  meta: {
    type: Object,
    blackbox: true,
    optional: true
  },
  userId: {
    type: String,
    optional: true
  },
  updatedAt: {
    type: Date,
    optional: true
  },
  versions: {
    type: Object,
    blackbox: true
  }
};

var mySchema = _.extend(defaultSchema, {
  productId: {
    type: String
  }
});

UploadImages = new Meteor.Files({
  debug: true,
//storagePath: process.env.PWD + '/public/UploadedImages/', //get the root public folder
  collectionName: 'UploadedImages',
  allowClientCode: false, // Disallow remove files from Client
  schema:mySchema,
  onBeforeUpload: function (file) {
    // Allow upload files under 10MB, and only in png/jpg/jpeg formats
    if (file.size <= 10485760 && /png|jpg|jpeg/i.test(file.extension)) {
      return true;
    } else {
      return 'Please upload image, with size equal or less than 10MB; png, jpeg, jpg ONLY';
    }
  }
});

On the template :

Template.UploadImages.events({
    'change #fileInput': function(e, template) {
        if (e.currentTarget.files && e.currentTarget.files[0]) {
            // We upload only one file, in case
            // there was multiple files selected
            var file = e.currentTarget.files[0];
**file["productId"] = "This is product ID";**
            if (file) {
                var uploadInstance = UploadImages.insert({
                    file: file,
                    streams: 'dynamic',
                    chunkSize: 'dynamic'
                }, false);

                uploadInstance.on('start', function() {
                    template.currentUpload.set(this);
                });

                uploadInstance.on('end', function(error, fileObj) {
                    if (error) {
                        console.log('Error during upload: ' + error.reason);
                    } else {
                        console.log('File "' + fileObj.name + '" successfully uploaded');

                    }
                    template.currentUpload.set(false);
                });

                uploadInstance.start();
            }
        }
    }
});

I want to update the records in the uploaded collections with product ID. I modify the file with new field like this file["productId"] = "This is product ID"; to amend the object to be insert into the collections.

I printed out the file

 File {productId: "This is product ID", name: "icon.jpg", lastModified: 1468201370000, lastModifiedDate: Mon Jul 11 2016 11:42:50 GMT+1000 (AEST), webkitRelativePath: ""…}

As you can see productId is there but not in the collection.

Thanks you very much for your time and help in advance.

Warm regards

I believe meta object is the right place for productId, just pass it into UploadImages.insert({meta: {productId: 'YourProdID'}, /* other options */}, false);.

Otherwise you need to use onAfterUpload hook to add extra property.

Thank you
