How to setCurrentActivity to cloud-image-edit with image url?

[Malshani_Chandima_Na (Malshani Chandima Nayanjali Kombala Liyanage)]

Hello.

I need to set setCurrentActivity to cloud-image-edit with a url. But I couldn’t able to find a way to do this. When I use the following code, it opens a empty image editor and getting a console error “Failed to construct ‘URL’: Invalid URL”. Is there a way to load a file to the editor programatically? Thank you

api.setCurrentActivity(‘cloud-image-edit’,{cdnUrl:url} )
api.setModalState(true)

The current API of the uploader doesn’t have a method that would allow you to open a file in image editor directly. {cdnUrl:url} won’t have any effect here because this activity doesn’t support additional parameters. Here’s how you can work around this:

1. You need to preload an image via addFileFromUrl and get its internal ID first

const file = api.addFileFromUrl(url);
const id = file.internalId;

2. When the file is loaded, you change set the focus on it and change the activity to cloud-image-edit

ctxProvider.addEventListener("file-upload-success", e => {
  if (e.detail.internalId = id) {
    // (!) undocumented API method, subject to change
    const internalEntry = api._uploadCollection.read(e.detail.internalId);
    // (!) undocumented API method, subject to change
    api._ctx.$['*focusedEntry'] = internalEntry;
    api.setCurrentActivity("cloud-image-edit");
    api.setModalState(true);
  }
});

In the next update, we’ll make it possible to pass an internal ID to the setCurrentActivity method like this:

setCurrentActivity("cloud-image-edit", { internalId });
