Example: When creating custom config form, sometimes we need to add 'text_format ' field to our form.
Problem: When uploading an image through the CKEditor in the Advanced HTML/Text editor, the image is not saved as "permanent". The image itself does upload at the time to sites/default/inline-images, however, coming back a day later the image has been deleted.
Solution: Add the snippet below to your custom config form to make sure your images are saved as permanent.
/**
* {@inheritdoc}
*/
public function buildForm(array $form, FormStateInterface $form_state)
{
$form['content'] = [
'#type' => 'text_format',
'#format' => 'full_html',
'#title' => $this->t('Content'),
];
return parent::buildForm($form, $form_state);
}
/**
* {@inheritdoc}
*/
public function submitForm(array &$form, FormStateInterface $form_state)
{
$content = $form_state->getValue('content')['value'];
$this->custom_editor_record_file_usage($content);
parent::submitForm($form, $form_state);
}
/**
* @param $content
* @throws \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityStorageException
*/
private function custom_editor_record_file_usage($content)
{
$uuids = _editor_parse_file_uuids($content);
foreach ($uuids as $uuid) {
if ($file = \Drupal::service('entity.repository')->loadEntityByUuid('file', $uuid)) {
/** @var \Drupal\file\FileInterface $file */
if ($file->isTemporary()) {
$file->setPermanent();
$file->save();
}
\Drupal::service('file.usage')->add($file, 'editor', 'file', $file->fid->value);
}
}
}
