It makes easier to upload new images from the place where we need it, instead of having to go to the media section each time. It was a little messy, this one. First of all, I realized that POSTint to /admin/media/picker to get the new media field was wrong: i was not asking the server to “accept an entity”, but only requesting a new HTML value, just like a GET to /admin/media/upload requests the form to upload a new media, thus here i should do the same, except i needed the query parameters to change the field, which is fine—it is actually a different resource, thus a different URL. Then, i thought that i could not POST the upload to /admin/media, because i returned a different HTML —the media field—, so i reused the recently unused POST to /admin/media/picker to upload that file and return the HTML for the field. It was wrong, because i was not requesting the server to put the file as a subordinate of /admin/media/picker, only /admin/media, but i did not come up with any other solution. Since i had two different upload functions now, i created uploadForm’s Handle method to refactorize the duplicated logic to a single place. Unfortunately, i did not work as i expected because uploadForm’s and mediaPicker’s MustRender methods are different, and mediaPicker has to embed uploadForm to render the form in the picker. That made me change Handle’s output to a boolean and error in order for the HTTP handler function know when to render the form with the error messages with the proper MustRender handler. However, I saw the opportunity of reusing that Handler method for editMedia, that was doing mostly the same job, but had to call a different Validate than uploadForm’s, because editMedia does not require the uploaded file. That’s when i realized that i could use an interface and that this interface could be reused not only within media but throughout the application, and added HandleMultipart in form. Had to create a different interface for multipart forms because they need different parameters in Parse that non-multipart form, when i add that interface, hence had to also change Parse to ParseForm to account for the difference in signature; not a big deal. After all that, i realized that i **could** POST to /admin/media in both cases, because i always return “an HTML entity”, it just happens that for the media section it is empty with a redirect, and for the picker is the field. That made the whole Handle method a bit redundant, but i left it nevertheless, as i find it slightly easier to read the uploadMedia function now.
