Loopback Component Cloudinary

A small loopback component that acts as a cloudinary datasource. Only image upload is supported is supported currently.

Installation and Usage

Install a module.

npm install loopback-component-cloudinary

Generate an image model:

image.js

module.exports = function(Image) {
};

image.json

{
  "name": "Image",
  "plural": "images",
  "base": "Model",
  "options": {},
  "properties": {},
  "validations": [],
  "relations": {},
  "acls": [],
  "methods": {}
}

Add cloudinary datasource

datasource.json

{
  "cloudinary": {
    "name": "cloudinary",
    "connector": "loopback-component-cloudinary",
    "config": {
      "cloud_name": "your_cloud_name",
      "api_key": "your_api_key",
      "api_secret": "your_api_secret"
    }
  }
}

Optionally define upload default parameters:

{
  "cloudinary": {
    "name": "cloudinary",
    "connector": "@kolach/loopback-component-cloudinary",
    "config": {
      "cloud_name": "your_cloud_name",
      "api_key": "your_api_key",
      "api_secret": "your_api_secret"
    },
    "upload": {
      "tags": "staging, flickr",
      "folder": "important"
    }
  }
}

This configuration will automatically add staging and flickr tags, and setup root folder as important

To override default tags and folder you may add tags and folder fields into form you're sending.

Connect Image model to cloudany datasource

model.config.json

{
  ...
  "Image": {
    "dataSource": "cloudinary",
    "public": true
  }
}

The configuration above will add POST ${restApiRoot}/images/upload url.
