Streamline Image Management in Drupal Gutenberg with Media Library Integration
The Webwash YouTube video details how to handle images in the Gutenberg editor for Drupal, emphasizing its drag-and-drop functionality. However, Gutenberg initially lacks automatic media entity creation, complicating image reuse across a Drupal site. The video explains that installing the Media and Media Library modules resolves this issue. After installation, images dragged into Gutenberg are automatically created as both file and media entities, facilitating easy reuse.
The video outlines the steps: install the modules via the "Extend" section, drag and drop images in Gutenberg, and manage media assets through the new "Media" tab under "Content." This integration enhances image reusability, centralized management, and flexibility in content creation, streamlining the process and leveraging Drupal’s robust media capabilities.
