Certainly! Here are the steps to add images to a new entry in Strapi v4 and Next JS:
Create a content type in Strapi that has a field for images. To do this, go to the "Content-Types Builder" section in the Strapi admin panel and create a new content type. Add a field with the type "Media" and set the "Multiple" option to true if you want to allow multiple images.
In your Next JS application, create a page or component for creating a new entry. This could be a form where users can enter information and upload images.
Install the Strapi SDK in your Next JS project by running the command npm install strapi-sdk-javascript
or yarn add strapi-sdk-javascript
.
In the component or page where you want to create a new entry, import the Strapi SDK and set up a connection to your Strapi API:
import Strapi from 'strapi-sdk-javascript';
const strapi = new Strapi('http://localhost:1337');
Replace the URL with the URL for your Strapi API.
FormData
API to create a new form with the image data and send it to the Strapi API:const handleSubmit = async (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
const formData = new FormData();
formData.append('title', title);
formData.append('description', description);
formData.append('images', files[0]);
try {
const response = await strapi.createEntry('content-type', formData);
console.log(response);
// handle success
} catch (err) {
console.error(err);
// handle error
}
};
Replace 'content-type'
with the name of your content type.
In the formData.append('images', files[0]);
line above, replace 'images'
with the name of the field you created for images in Strapi.
Handle the image preview and selection in your component or page. You can use the FileReader
API to read the image data and create a preview for the user:
const handleFileChange = (e) => {
const file = e.target.files[0];
const reader = new FileReader();
reader.onloadend = () => {
setImageData(reader.result);
};
reader.readAsDataURL(file);
};
Replace setImageData
with a function that sets the state of your image data in the component, and imageData
with the state variable for your image data.
<form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
<label htmlFor="image">Image:</label>
<input type="file" id="image" onChange={handleFileChange} />
{imageData && (
<img src={imageData} alt="Preview" style={{ maxWidth: '100%' }} />
)}
<label htmlFor="title">Title:</label>
<input
type="text"
id="title"
value={title}
onChange={(e) => setTitle(e.target.value)}
/>
<label htmlFor="description">Description:</label>
<textarea
id="description"
value={description}
onChange={(e) => setDescription(e.target.value)}
/>
<button type="submit">Create Entry</button>
</form>
Replace title
, setTitle
, description
, and setDescription
with state variables and functions for handling input changes.
And that's it! With these steps, you should now be able to add images to a new entry in Strapi v4 and Next JS.
