Feature request: Simple upload images and files like in django-ckeditor

[shtalinberg]

Usually clients wants to upload file and generate source code for uploaded images via editor

Thanks for the issue. I don't think I'm going to add an image upload because there's so much infrastructure work to do for image handling, and also, generally, I have documented my views on this here:

but it works in django-prose
maybe they won't mind sharing a ready-to-use solution?

[matthiask]

django-prose builds on Trix (https://trix-editor.org/), that's a completely different foundation to build an editor on, so we couldn't just use it 1:1.

Still interesting to look at their implementation of the upload view. It seems there's no media library, it's just attachments without a way to browse the uploads later. That seems quite straightforward to implement.

I'm still thinking about ways to extend the editor in project-specific environments, I'd want to solve that first.

What's about: https://prosemirror.net/examples/upload/ ?

[matthiask]

Yes, that would probably be the way to implement it.

The prose editor bundle still doesn't contain the Image extension but it would be relatively easy to add it; this wouldn't help too much because we still wouldn't have a way to actually upload images. The FileHandler extension is a pro extension unfortunately so I cannot bundle it, and it wouldn't add the server part either for that matter.

At least the client side would be less work than it would have been before 0.10.
