How to use uploadFile to import to an array to an asset gallery field

🆘 Support
1

Hi
Are there any docs on how use uploadFile to import multiple files to an asset gallery?
my code looks like

const gallery = await client.uploadFile(
    plan.gallery[0], {
        defaultFieldMetadata: {
            en: {
                alt: '',
                title: '',
                focalPoint: {
                    x: 0.5,
                    y: 0.5,
                },
                customData: {
                    watermark: false
                }
            }
        },
        notes: '',
    }
);

gallery is an array of remote image urls…
This works for a single file but guessing i need to change it for asset galleries

Hello @jacktcunningham_publisher

For the moment you can’t upload more than one file per request, so you must do more than one request if you want to do more than one file.

In your case you would have to

for(file of plan.gallery){
  const uploadedFile = await client.uploadFile(
    file, {
        defaultFieldMetadata: {
            en: {
                alt: '',
                title: '',
                focalPoint: {
                    x: 0.5,
                    y: 0.5,
                },
                customData: {
                    watermark: false
                }
            }
        },
        notes: '',
    }
}

There is a feature request for bulk uploads here: Some Requests
But for now, you can only upload one file per reuquest

Ok, that doesn’t work, it looks like it overwrites the object on each loop rather than adding to it… but I think I know what i need to do, thanks

This solved it in the end, thanks

async function importPlans() {

    let uploadedGallery = [];

    for (let plan of plans) {

            const uploadedCover = await client.uploadFile(
                
            for(file of plan.gallery) {
                var temp = await client.uploadFile (
                    file, {
                        defaultFieldMetadata: {
                            en: {
                                alt: '',
                                title: '',
                                focalPoint: {
                                    x: 0.5,
                                    y: 0.5,
                                },
                                customData: {
                                    watermark: false
                                }
                            }
                        },
                        notes: '',
                    }
                );
                uploadedGallery.push(temp);
            };

            plan[plan.name] = await client.items.create({
                ...
                gallery:  (uploadedGallery ? uploadedGallery : null)
            });
    }
}
