Ambiguity with Image Input function - quick clarification required

Hi Sean

Quick question re: https://preview.keenthemes.com/html/metronic/docs/?page=forms/image-input

When retrieving a user's image and displaying it, I previously updated the input value with the stored location $(input).val(img.src).

It appears that the Image Input class for Metronic doesn't allow this.

Can you please clarify:

Option1: Is the placeholder div $(".image-input-placeholder") supposed to be used to display a stored image programmatically:
eg. $(".image-input-placeholder").css('backgroud-url' , img.src);
OR
Option2: Is there a function in your class to use the stored user image:
eg.
var imageInputElement = document.querySelector("#kt_image_input_control");
var imageInput = new KTImageInput(imageInputElement);
imageInput.getInputElement(XXXXX); <--- the img.src here???


Sorry - but I'm not clear from your docs how to populate the stored image of a user.

Many thanks

Hi,

To display the stored image you can refer to this example.

$(".image-input-wrapper").css("backgroud-url" , img.src);



To get the input element DOM object please use imageInput .getInputElement()

Hi Sean

Coo thanks.. I'm still not sure how to use the DOM API imageInput .getInputElement(), but so long as I can just use the $(".image-input-placeholder").css('backgroud-url' , img.src) approach that's all good.

Cheers

Hi,

Please refer to the below code:

var imageInputEl = lease use imageInput .getInputElement();
$(imageInputEl).css("backgroud-url" , img.src);



Regards.
