Below is my code.

Namespace/Modulename/view/adminhtml/ui_component/sampleimageuploader_image_form.xml

<field name="image">
 <argument name="data" xsi:type="array">
 <item name="config" xsi:type="array">
 <item name="dataType" xsi:type="string">string</item>
 <item name="source" xsi:type="string">image</item>
 <item name="label" xsi:type="string" translate="true">Image</item>

 </item>
 <item name="uploaderConfig" xsi:type="array">
 <item name="url" xsi:type="url" path="sampleimageuploader/image/upload/field/image"/>
 </item>
 </item>
 </argument>
 </field>
 <!-- This field has data type 'text'
 and override standard 'input' form element's tempate and constructor by custom ones -->
 <field name="color">
 <argument name="data" xsi:type="array">
 <item name="config" xsi:type="array">
 <!--component constructor-->
 <item name="component" xsi:type="string">Namespace_Modulename/js/form/element/color-select</item>
 <!--main template for form field that renders elementTmpl as a child template-->
 <item name="template" xsi:type="string">ui/form/field</item>
 <!--customized form element template that will show colors-->
 <item name="elementTmpl" xsi:type="string">Namespace_Modulename/form/element/color-select</item>
 <item name="label" xsi:type="string">Autumn colors</item>

 <item name="dataType" xsi:type="string">text</item>
 <item name="formElement" xsi:type="string">input</item>
 <item name="source" xsi:type="string">sampleimageuploader</item>
 </item>
 </argument>
 </field>
</fieldset>

Namespace/ModuleName/view/adminhtml/web/js/form/element/color-select.js

define([
'Magento_Ui/js/form/element/abstract' 
],function(Abstract) {
return Abstract.extend({
 defaults: {
 // How can i get image here>
});
});

Namespace/Modulename/view/adminhtml/web/template/form/element/color-select.html

<input type="hidden" id="placeholder_img" value="">
 <div class="canvas-container" style="width: 500px;height: 500px;position: relative;user-select: none;">
 <canvas id="canvas" width="500" height="500" style="border: 1px solid rgb(170, 170, 170);background-color: #E9EEF1;position: absolute;width: 500px;height: 500px;left: 0px;top: 0px;touch-action: none;user-select: none;" class="lower-canvas"></canvas> 
</div>

Now i want uploaded image value in color-select.js or color-select.html.

How can i achieve this thing.

Any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

I got solution after override file-uploader.js in my custom module located at

/var/www/html/Projectname/vendor/magento/module-ui/view/base/web/js/form/element/file-uploader.js

file-uploader.js file is responsible for logic of file upload & also preview uploaded image in UI admin form.

You can find getFilePreview function it returns path to the uploaded file's

So using this i can set value to my custom field as per my requirement. and it's works!
