Rename file before upload

[NotMyUid]

Hello,
I'm trying to rename a file before uploading it. Is it possible?

I tried renaming "file.name" both in "getUploadParams" and in "onChangeStatus" function, but I noticed that it is a readonly field.

Code:

I also tried, in "getUploadParams", to modify the returned value including a new File with the modified name as a property of "fields" object: in this case, in the request there are two files instead of one.

Code:

Request:

Thank you so much!

@NotMyUid Did you solve this?

Hi @mariomurrent-softwaresolutions ,
Solved with the use of a work-around.. I post here the steps we followed in order to rename a file before it has been uploaded.

1. Step one consists in disabling auto-upload (no-longer use "getUploadParams").
2. Keep listening for status change, then create a copy of the original file, rename it, and store in a global variable.

Code:

3. Create a method which uploads the new file to your destination.

Code:

4. Add a button to your template in order to upload the image, on click event call the method you wrote at step 3.

Hope this helps, best regards :)
