Adding captions for FileUpload/SpatieMediaLibraryFileUpload

[bilogic]

1. I would like to be able to add captions after uploading files, 1 for each file
2. I have given it a shot over the past few days, but it seems that coming up with an elegant architecture is beyond me at this point
3. I'm happy to write the code if someone can advise on the architecture

I've never tried it before, but you could take a look at ralphjsmit-media-library-manager

Thanks, captions was in the image gallery, but could not see it in action on a resource/page

[leandrocfe]

Could you provide more details about the issue please? What code did you try?

[bilogic]

I played with the demo here https://demo.filament-media-library.ralphjsmit.com/

If you go under Posts and Authors, I can't add captions

I want the images to be separate between resources, and not from a common library. Is that possible?

[leandrocfe]

You should ask on media-library-pro

I made some progress on this, but it involves making quite a number of changes including some JS and InteractsWithForms.php.

Questions to the project contributors,

1. Will such a feature be accept as a PR?
2. It is a pretty big commit spanning many files, should I squash everything into 1 commit?
3. I suppose style won't be an issue since I noticed a style fixer github action? I'm using pint v1.13.1

You'll need to open a PR or I'll forget about doing it

[danharrin]

even a draft PR is fine

[bilogic]

Ok, I don't quite understand draft PR, what does that mean? Is it different from a normal PR? Any specific things I should take note of?

The UI is able to read and write captions using SpatieMediaLibraryFileUpload already and I'm more concerned about your architecture expectations before I spent any more time on this. Hope you can understand it is painful to see my efforts go down the drain sometimes.

You click "submit as draft" or whatever when you open the PR. Alternatively, just open a normal PR and I can convert it to draft after

Hope you can understand it is painful to see my efforts go down the drain sometimes.

Yeah I am aware, its just the reality of open source when maintainers are the ones who have to keep the feature alive and have responsibility for it

Did anything happen with regard to this? I would need a checkbox for each of the uploaded images and would want to save the value as custom property. Are there any pointers?
