@sid How do we go about installing this?
I’ve tried to add the gitlab repo in the extensions section of the Project Options but the API File upload Action is not showing up.

How To Install and Use Custom Wappler Extensions

Intro Wappler’s extensibility options allow you to create custom extensions for both Server Connect and App Connect. Wappler has an easy to use UI, to install custom extensions published on npm and github. Installing Custom Extensions The extensions you install in Wappler are installed per project, so you need to add them to every project you need to use them. Open the Project Settings: [Screenshot_1] And click Extensions: [Screenshot_2] Here you can find a list of all the extensions i…

You will have to do a manual installation, as explained in the help docs.
Links in the main post… and also shared above by franse.

Just tried all of that and it still is not showing up in the Server Connect. The extension was added manually.

[sid]

It will not show up in the extensions in settings, from what I know.
But it will show up when trying to add a new step in server action.

What does your tree look like. Did you create the folders in your project as instructed? And copied files into that folder?

[astroGlide]

@sid The files are in the node_modules folder of my Wappler app, but still the extension is not showing up in Wappler to use.

[sid]

Node_modules is secondary. You need to have the extension files in the extensions folder.

Writing Extensions for Server Connect

Folder Structure

All extensions files are placed in your project folder under the following folders:

• for modules:
  extensions/server_connect/modules

[astroGlide]

This gets even weirder. The extension shows up in the extensions folder:

But the Extension is not showing up in the Server Connect editor:

[sid]

The files seem to be in the right place. Not sure why the extension is not showing up for you now.
@Teodor Any ideas?

[astroGlide]

@sid @Teodor Any possible update on this? I really need to be able to upload files through API.

[sid]

Is the extensions folder in the root of your project folder? I see that the screenshot you have posted is just a search result.

Maybe share the tree view of file manager from Wappler.

@sid It will be much easier if you pack and publish the extension to npm for automatic install, see:

Wappler Extensibility - Build Custom Wappler Extensions

The next level of Wappler extensibility - App Connect for our front-end framework is here! Building custom App Connect custom components with their own dynamic attributes, events and data sources is now possible. You can write your own custom components and also provide a UI definition of your extensions so they integrate directly visually in Wappler! You also build custom Server Connect extensions now for the backend. Both type of extensions are described here. Your extensions can be publi…

I tried to do it when you first released it, but was just able to create my NPM account, and could not find time to do other steps.
Hopefully soon.

“\supplier-prod\node_modules\api-file-upload-action-nodejs-master\extensions\server_connect\modules\FileUploadModule.hjson”

This is how the file is setup in the project folder. Should there be another way?

[sid]

@astroGlide

supplier-prod\node_modules\api-file-upload-action-nodejs-master\extensions\server_connect\modules\FileUploadModule.hjson”

Thats wrong.
It should be in the ROOT of your prohect:
supplier-prod\extensions\server_connect\modules\FileUploadModule.hjson

[astroGlide]

That’s what I was thinking as well expect that my ROOT doesn’t have an extensions folder. Should I manually create this?

[sid]

Yes. You did not read the docs it seems.
You have to create all those folders, and then paste the two files.

Good morning, does the module still work in current versions of Wappler? I installed it and the node-fetch and form-data dependencies, but whenever I try to send the form it shows an error, as if the node-fetch extension was installed, I have the application in Docker, I have already deployed it and I restarted the wappler and nothing.

Edited: I fix it by installing version 2 of node-fetch, now I’m having problems searching for the file it seems

Edited: Solved, I changed to sending one file at a time, the problem was only happening with the multi

[sid]

Hi. The module does have some issue with node-fetch version.
I don’t recollect exactly, but I have seen it in one of my projects as well. But because it was a long time ago, I don’t remember.
And, unfortunately, I never updated this published version.
