I'm developing a custom module with an image field.

Where can I set the following HTML attribute to my custom field?

<input type=file
       accept="image/*"
       capture=environment>

I have created the image field and i'm able to process some OCR with an external library uploading the image but I need to use webcam instead and I can't find the way to set the "capture=enviroment" tag to my input form in the field widget file.

Thank you

  • Welcome to Drupal Answers! 👋 That can be done via hook_form_alter or theme suggestions and templating. What have you tried so far and where exactly are you stuck? Please update your question for clarification. Since we don't know what exactly you need. Maybe you even don't know yet how to implement a hook in your module or theme. Then please read the docs first. Many thanks

  • The module now upload an image QR file trough the field widget and the decodes the image into text. Then I have a module form alter function and i'm not able to at least put a css class there /** * Implements hook_form_alter. * * Alters the display of a form */ function qr_decode_form_alter(&$form, FormStateInterface $form_state, $form_id) { if($form_id == 'node_employee_check_form') { $form['field_check_in']['widget']['#attributes']['class'][] = 'another-class'; } On the Widget i have the callbacks and all is working fine but I need to insert that htmlattribute

Solved with formElement, at least form mobile devices. Just was I was looking for.

  /**
   * {@inheritdoc}
   */
  public function formElement(FieldItemListInterface $items, $delta, array $element, array &$form, FormStateInterface $form_state) {
    $element = parent::formElement($items, $delta, $element, $form, $form_state);

    $element['#accept'] = 'image/*;capture=camera';

    return $element;
  }

Thank you!
