Image upload API?

[lewiswharf]

Awesome approach to a WYSIWYG editor. Is there a plan to incorporate an image upload API?

What's the current workaround people are using?

There are so many ways to do an upload integration so it's hard to define one in the core. I think the way to go is to build extensions. E.g. tiptap-s3-upload

I hear you. I didn't know if there was a best practice or community followed approach.

Thanks @ilicmarko and I already saw the issue and your response prior to posting. I'm not asking the same question. Nonetheless, I appreciate your contribution!

As a reminder, I would like to know if there's going to be an image upload API at some point…

What do you consider an "image upload API"? Because there is an image API provided by Tiptap, which is enough to insert an image. Tiptap can't provide any other API more universally.

As @hanspagel said, you would need to make API for each service S3, Cloudinary, Imgur etc... Also, make it somehow for the custom endpoints. This is why you have the image command, you send it the URL and it will insert the image, editor shouldn't care how, where you got the URL/base64 string.

We should probably set up a documentation to answer common questions like this. I'll discuss it with @philippkuehn. Until then I think we're done here. 🤓

I have created this gist, you can find how I did it with react. I am leaving this here if anyone needs it.
