How to get pictures into ItemsAPI?

[floppyapple123]

I want to get the pdf icon on all of my entries, but I don't really know how to do so. Could anyone explain how to? I'm running it off of Heroku. Thanks.

You need to provide image field in all your entries then it will be displayed automatically. Otherwise if you have different field in the object then you can customize it in the layout /views/catalog.html.twig

Is it possible to upload a local file?

[floppyapple123]

Also, when I click on an item, is it possible to link it to a pdf file?

If you open /admin/images and configure AWS S3 then it should be possible to store images. Not sure how stable this feature was. It will be easier I guess if you provide link in your JSON file to external pdf / image

If you customize ./views/catalog.html.twig and ./src/routes.js then everything should be possible. This starter is based on http://expressjs.com/

Thanks. But can I link it to a opening pdf instead of going to this page? Thanks so much.

Just open ./views/catalog.html.twig and find a part:

<div class="items">
  {% for item in items %}
  <div class="col-xs-3 col-md-3" style="height: 220px;">
    <a href="{% if item.permalink %}/item/{{ item.permalink }}{% else %}/id/{{ item.id }}{% endif %}" class="">
      <img class="img-thumbnail" src="{% if item.image %}{{ item.image }}{% else %}{{ image }} {% endif %}" alt="{{ item.domain }}">
      <p>{{ item.domain }}</p>
    </a>
  </div>
  {% endfor %}
</div>

and then provide a link there to your pdf instead of going to /item/:id

How would I get here on Heroku?

[cigolpl]

You should run it on your localhost, modify and then redeploy. Not sure how to do it fast but I think this tutorial can be helpful https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-nodejs#introduction

you already answered my question on linkedin (sorry for asking twice), but thank you so much

now I'm getting an error with the npm install :/ Elasticsearch and MongoDB are up and running

Oh, you are using windows. I've never tried that with windows. It might get more complicated. Ideally if you use linux. Vagrant can help you run a virtual machine i.e. ubuntu on your windows (https://www.vagrantup.com/intro/getting-started/).

You can also try docker composer which starts everything for you out of the box on all operating systems. (https://www.itemsapi.com/docs/starter/installation/). There are some updates thanks to @fbertetto which allows you to edit files locally on your windows and run that easily using docker compose. Not sure how convenient is a development with docker composer though.

Do you have mongodb installed on your localhost ? You can check it out by writing mongo in your CLI.

[floppyapple123]

Yeah I got that fixed.

I got everything to work :), but how do you make a range value with ItemsAPI. Like how would I be able to input data saying that an item has been in use from 2340 to 23948 hours?
