Rename images before inserting it in Rich Text Editor in Angular RichTextEditor component

21 Dec 2022 / 2 minutes to read

By using the insertImageSettings property, you can specify the server handler to upload the selected image. Then, you can bind the imageUploadSuccess event, to receive the modified file name from the server and update it in the Rich Text Editor’s insert image dialog.

public onImageUploadSuccess = (args: any) => {
    if (args.e.currentTarget.getResponseHeader('name') != null) {
        args.file.name = args.e.currentTarget.getResponseHeader('name');
        let filename: any = document.querySelectorAll(".e-file-name")[0];
        filename.innerHTML = args.file.name.replace(document.querySelectorAll(".e-file-type")[0].innerHTML, '');
        filename.title = args.file.name;
    }
}

To configure the server-side handler, refer the below code.
