How to Display Image in Custom Module using Form Field in Magento 2

Hello Magento Friends,

Hope all are doing great. Today I will be showing How to Display Image in Custom Module using Form Field in Magento 2. Coincidentally, you missed our previously published blog, How to Add Date & Time Picker in Magento 2 System Configuration With Custom Format.

Generally, in Magento 2 grid form, we can put the image upload field but it will not display in the grid as one column. If you want to display the small image in the grid of your custom extension then you need to follow the below steps.

Let’s get started

Steps to Display Image in Custom Module using Form Field in Magento 2:

Step 1: Add new column into InstallSchema.php for image

->addColumn(
            'img',
            \Magento\Framework\DB\Ddl\Table::TYPE_TEXT,
            255,
            ['nullable' => true],
            'Image'
           )

Step 2: Add Form type must be

enctype=”multipart/form-data” : No characters are encoded. This value is required when you are using forms that have a file upload control.

$form = $this->_formFactory->create(
    ['data' => [
                    'id' => 'edit_form',
                    'enctype' => 'multipart/form-data',
                    'action' => $this->getData('action'),
                    'method' => 'post'
                ]
    ]
);

Step 3: Add field into your form

$fieldset->addField(
        'img',
        'image', 
        [
            'name' => 'img',
            'label' => __('Upload Image'),
            'title' => __('Upload Image'),
            'required' => true,
            'note' => 'Allow image type: jpg, jpeg, png',
            'class' => 'required-entry required-file',
        ]
    );

Step 4: For saving the image, place the code at the below path

app/code/Vendor/Extension/controller/saveimage.php

protected $fileSystem;
protected $uploaderFactory;
protected $adapterFactory;

public function __construct(       
        \Magento\Framework\Filesystem $fileSystem,
        \Magento\MediaStorage\Model\File\UploaderFactory $uploaderFactory,
        \Magento\Framework\Image\AdapterFactory $adapterFactory,)
{        
     $this->fileSystem = $fileSystem;
     $this->adapterFactory = $adapterFactory;
     $this->uploaderFactory = $uploaderFactory;
}

public function execute()
{
     $data = $this->getRequest()->getPostValue();

      /* for upload image */      
      if ((isset($_FILES['img']['name'])) && ($_FILES['img']['name'] != '') && (!isset($data['img']['delete'])))
      {
           try
           {
                $uploaderFactory = $this->uploaderFactory->create(['fileId' => 'img']);
                $uploaderFactory->setAllowedExtensions(['jpg', 'jpeg', 'gif', 'png']);
                $imageAdapter = $this->adapterFactory->create();
                $uploaderFactory->setAllowRenameFiles(true);
                $uploaderFactory->setFilesDispersion(true);
                $mediaDirectory = $this->fileSystem->getDirectoryRead(DirectoryList::MEDIA);
                $destinationPath = $mediaDirectory->getAbsolutePath('Vendor_Extension_IMG');
                $result = $uploaderFactory->save($destinationPath);

                if (!$result)
                {
                     throw new LocalizedException
                        (
                        __('File cannot be saved to path: $1', $destinationPath)
                        );
                }

                $imagePath = 'Vendor_Extension_IMG' . $result['file'];

                $data['img'] = $imagePath;

          }
          catch (\Exception $e)
          {
                $this->messageManager->addError(__("Image not Upload Pleae Try Again"));
          }
     }       

     echo "<pre>";
     print_r($data)
     exit();
}

Step 5: For showing the image into Grid, add this code in your grid file.

<column name="img" class="Vendor\Extension\Ui\Component\Listing\Column\Thumbnail">
       <argument name="data" xsi:type="array">
           <item name="config" xsi:type="array">
               <item name="component" xsi:type="string">Magento_Ui/js/grid/columns/thumbnail</item>
               <item name="sortable" xsi:type="boolean">false</item>
               <item name="altField" xsi:type="string">store image</item>
               <item name="has_preview" xsi:type="string">1</item>
               <item name="filter" xsi:type="string">text</item>
               <item name="label" xsi:type="string" translate="true">Image</item>
               <item name="sortOrder" xsi:type="number">80</item>
           </item>
     </argument>
</column>

Step 6: Create the file Vendor\Extension\Ui\Component\Listing\Column\Thumbnail.php

<?php
namespace Vendor\Extension\Ui\Component\Listing\Column;

use Magento\Catalog\Helper\Image;
use Magento\Framework\UrlInterface;
use Magento\Framework\View\Element\UiComponentFactory;
use Magento\Framework\View\Element\UiComponent\ContextInterface;
use Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface;
use Magento\Ui\Component\Listing\Columns\Column;

class Thumbnail extends Column
{
     const ALT_FIELD = 'title';

     protected $storeManager;

     public function __construct(
        ContextInterface $context,
        UiComponentFactory $uiComponentFactory,
        Image $imageHelper,
        UrlInterface $urlBuilder,
        StoreManagerInterface $storeManager,
        array $components = [],
        array $data = []
        )
     {
          $this->storeManager = $storeManager;
          $this->imageHelper = $imageHelper;
          $this->urlBuilder = $urlBuilder;
          parent::__construct($context, $uiComponentFactory, $components, $data);
     }

     public function prepareDataSource(array $dataSource)
     {
          if(isset($dataSource['data']['items']))
          {
               $fieldName = $this->getData('name');
               foreach($dataSource['data']['items'] as & $item)
               {
                    $url = '';
                    if($item[$fieldName] != '')
                    {
                         $url = $this->storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl(
                                \Magento\Framework\UrlInterface::URL_TYPE_MEDIA
                                 ).$item[$fieldName];
                    }
                    $item[$fieldName . '_src'] = $url;
                    $item[$fieldName . '_alt'] = $this->getAlt($item) ?: '';
                    $item[$fieldName . '_link'] = $this->urlBuilder->getUrl('routename/controllername/actionname',['id' => $item['id']]);
                    $item[$fieldName . '_orig_src'] = $url;
               }
          }

          return $dataSource;
     }

     protected function getAlt($row)
     {
          $altField = $this->getData('config/altField') ?: self::ALT_FIELD;
          return isset($row[$altField]) ? $row[$altField] : null;
     }
}

Step 7: Finally, run the below Magento commands to set up the upgrade and clean cache.
