How do I load a Media entity from a File entity?

Question

I have a File entity loaded programmatically. I want to load a Media entity from it. Is there a way to achieve this?

Answer 1

Example - if your File entity is loaded in a variable named $file, and the field name on the Media entity is field_media_image:

$media_entities = \Drupal::entityTypeManager()->getStorage('media')->loadByProperties([
  'field_media_image' => $file->id(),
]);

$media_entity = is_array($media_entities) ? array_pop($media_entities) : NULL;

Note1 : If the File object belongs to more than a single Media entity, you will need to loop through $media_entities to find the one you want.

Note 2: $media_entity will either contain the Media entity the File entity belongs to, or be NULL if the File entity doesn't belong to a Media entity.

Answer 2

Actually i found a good answer, i used :

$result = \Drupal::service('file.usage')->listUsage($file);

and then in the $result i am checking if any keys called media exist. If so, i can then load my Media :)
