Hi @erekyu. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
To list media in the interface when using Strapi with Refine, you can follow these steps:
1. Create an interface for the data from your Strapi API, including the media field. For example, if you have a
Product
collection with an Image
field, your interface might look like this:
2. In your list component, use the useDataGrid
hook to fetch the data and display it in a table. For example, in a ProductList
component:
3. Define the columns for your table, including a column for the media field. To display the image, you can use the renderCell
function:
4. Finally, use the DataGrid
component to display the table with the fetched data and defined columns:
This will display the media (e.g., images) in the interface when listing the records.

@kapa.ai what would the edit page look like
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The edit page for a record in a Refine application would typically include a form with input fields for each property of the record. Here's an example of what an edit page might look like for a
Post
resource:
1. Create a PostEdit
component in your pages/posts
directory:
2. Import the PostEdit
component in your pages/posts/index.tsx
file:
3. Add the PostEdit
component to the resources
prop of the Refine
component in your App.tsx
file:
After completing these steps, clicking the edit button for a post should redirect you to the edit page, where you can update the record data.

@kapa.ai no what I mean is what would the edit page look like when using the strapi media uploader and using export interface to list the media
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To create an edit page with a Strapi media uploader, you can use the
Upload.Dragger
component from Ant Design. Here's an example of an edit page for a Post
resource with an image field:
1. Create an interface for the Post
resource, including the image field:
2. Create a PostEdit
component in your pages/posts
directory:
3. Import the PostEdit
component in your pages/posts/index.tsx
file:
4. Add the
PostEdit
component to the resources
prop of the Refine
component in your App.tsx
file:
This example demonstrates how to create an edit page with a Strapi media uploader for a Post
resource with an image field. The Upload.Dragger
component allows you to upload images to Strapi.

@kapa.ai when i do that for my edit page I get the following error "e is not iterable
TypeError: e is not iterable"
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
It seems like you're encountering an issue with the
getValueFromEvent
function. This function is used to handle the file upload event and extract the necessary information. The error you're encountering might be due to an incorrect implementation of this function.
To fix the issue, you can use the getValueFromEvent
function provided by Refine. Update your PostEdit
component as follows:
By using the getValueFromEvent
function provided by Refine, you should be able to resolve the "e is not iterable" error.For more information on handling file uploads with Refine, you can refer to the following source:

@kapa.ai my new error for getValueFromEvent is "(fileList []).forEach is not a function
TypeError: (fileList []).forEach is not a function"
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
It seems like the
getValueFromEvent
function is expecting an array, but it's receiving a non-array value. To fix this issue, you can create a custom getValueFromEvent
function that handles the file upload event and ensures that the returned value is an array.
Update your PostEdit
component with a custom getValueFromEvent
function as follows:
By using the custom
getValueFromEvent
function, you should be able to resolve the "(fileList || []).forEach is not a function" error.

@kapa.ai still getting the same error
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
@erekyu That's a great question, but unfortunately I am only capable of responding to a maximum of three questions per thread. Don't hesitate to create a new thread for any further questions you have though. I'm here to help!

Hey @erekyu,
https://github.com/refinedev/refine/pull/4196
I've created a PR to resolve file upload issues with refine. Now, It's on the review process. But, you can see the changes on PR like documentation, fixed examples and others.
I hope it helps you š
afraid-scarletOPā¢2y ago
do you think that is also the reason its not listing files that already exist on the edit page?
conscious-sapphireā¢2y ago
Yes, I do. As far as I understand, the strapi API has changed and our
getValueProps
method is outdated. I updated it and problem solved on the example.afraid-scarletOPā¢2y ago
You are a rock star, I thought I was doing something wrong this hole time! I went over every example deleted and reinstalled and reset up strapi and refine multiple times I thought I was going crazy
conscious-sapphireā¢2y ago
Frankly, I went through similar processes while I was doing it š¤£
afraid-scarletOPā¢2y ago
did you ever run into
because I made all the changes and the files upload, and attach perfectly but when i go back into the edit i get
conscious-sapphireā¢2y ago
Can you share your API response on edit page?
afraid-scarletOPā¢2y ago
if i remove i can get the page to load,
this is the response to my api call for the file i am trying to get:
oh i missed part ill edit that
conscious-sapphireā¢2y ago
afraid-scarletOPā¢2y ago
yes
conscious-sapphireā¢2y ago
I can't quite understand here, but is your file field an array or an object?
Are you sure you are using your own getValueProps function? Or are you importing from @refinedev/strapi-v4?
Because the changes in PR have not yet been released
afraid-scarletOPā¢2y ago
i copied your changes into my node_modules
(removed the files and updated the array)
conscious-sapphireā¢2y ago
The error is caused by trying to spread an object in an array.
Can you try creating an own
getValueProps
function and use it. In my opinion node_modules changes don't workafraid-scarletOPā¢2y ago
sure
i will try that
driving home now will test it later this evening, ty again for your time i apricate it
that did it ty sooo much!
