Dear all,

is it possible to use the sap.m.upload.UploadSet with the Simplifier content repository plugin (ClearFileSystem)?

If so, which prerequisites must be met?

Thanks in advance for your support.

Best regards

Jens Schreyer

Hey Mr. Schreyer,

There’s no limitation on the upload set to be used with the content repository.

You can use the uploadeComplete event of the upload set to read the file and get the base64 value which then can be used in the contentFileAdd method as data to be uploaded to the content repository.

The following script will return the b64 value of the uploaded file when attached to the “uploadComplete” event of the upload set:

var reader = new FileReader();
var file = oEvent.getParameters(“files”).item.getFileObject();

reader.onload = function(e) {
var b64 = e.target.result;
console.log(“b64:”, b64); // b64 is the file – can be used to be uploaded in the content repo
};

reader.onerror = function(e) {
sap.m.MessageToast.show(“error”);
};
reader.readAsDataURL(file);

You can fine more information on reading the file here:

More information on the content repository can be found here:

Many thanks Daniel for the detailed information.

I’ll try to implement it that way.

Hi Jens,

 

one short addition to Daniel’s reply: Be aware that the script code provided by him actually returns a data URL instead of the sole file content encoded as base64 string. However, the Content Repository plugin slot ‘contentFileAdd’ only accepts the base64 encoded content without the data prefix and mime type given in a data URL. Therefore, you’d have to remove that part from the data URL output given from the FileReader to extract only the base64 value. You could achieve this by changing the related line of code into the following:

 

var b64 = e.target.result.split(“,”).pop();

 

Kind regards,

 

Armin
