Feature Req: Ability to make use of native Asset picker / Link selector in UI Extensions

See original GitHub issue

Hi Contentful,

Thank you for the awesome SDK. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for.

I was wondering if there’s an exposed API to invoke the Image/Asset Picker and Link/Reference picker in the form editor? I know that you can use space.getPublishedAssets and space.getPublishedEntries but it would be much nicer to be able to use Contentful’s native pickers.

I know it’s partially related (and technically the original issue is now fixed) but…

There’s currently no way of uploading an asset via UI-extension. The Management API method space.createAssetFromFiles is not in the ui-extension v3 extension.space (probably newer) nor there’s a dialog for the asset upload. Can currently only select already-uploaded assets. Is this feature (ability to upload assets via ui-extension) in the roadmap?

Hi @nkahoang, as of today you can install v3.1.0 of our SDK that contains methods for opening our native selectors. Here’s the section in the API reference that describes how to use new methods:

https://github.com/contentful/ui-extensions-sdk/blob/master/docs/ui-extensions-sdk-frontend.md#extensiondialogs

Please let us know what are you thoughts and if it met your expectations. I’ll leave this issue opened for couple of days if you’ve got some immediate feedback.

Best, Jakub
