Inserting multiple images simultaneously in a post

[sahilLikes2Code]

Hi everyone,

In our cms, we have the capability to upload multiple images at once which is achieved by creating multiple blobs. Since we are able to do this, would also like the feature to attach multiple images simultaneously in a post or any other entity type.

So, as of now I have implemented Sveltia with a bunch of projects and it works flawlessly out of the box. However, in one of my latest project which is image content heavy, possibly 8-10 images in one post. Adding them manually one at a time is very time consuming and limiting that too from a mobile device.

Based on my limited understanding, that can be achieved however, we don't have a front-end component to support this since this might not be common requirement for many. The aforementioned component from my dreams will allow to simply click an icon and directly show already uploaded in gallery (skips the 'Drop an image file here or click to browse…' ). User can select multiple images say clicking a check box and boom, all of them are there.

Apparently, Sveltia just modifies md, so images will be one after another, not like some grid/gallery/collage I understand that. All in all, do we already have something to insert multiple images that I am missing or can we come up with something like this, as in is it technically possible to achieve?

Just for some context, main use will be allowing the user to upload multiple images at once which is primarily done from a smartphone. Since Sveltia is mobile compatible out of the box, much appreciation for that too.

Thanks.

It’s actually one of the most requested features in Netlify/Decap CMS and being tracked in #10 for Sveltia. I’ll work on it next week.
