Create Drupal8 Node Programmatically that contains two media fields

Support requests are not supposed to be prioritized, and try to use the already existing tags :)

If these fields are just entity_reference fields, you only need to pass the id of the target entities you want to refer to on each of them. It will be necessary then to have already created beforehand the media entities you want to refer to.

A good place to look for examples of this are the tests inside the module, for example this one:
http://cgit.drupalcode.org/media_entity/tree/tests/src/Kernel/TokensTest...

You need to create the media entities before creating the node.

Something like this should work (untested):

    // ...

    // Assuming the image is already uploaded to your server:
    $fid = '123'; // The fid of the image you are going to use.
    $image_media = Media::create([
      'bundle' => 'your_image_bundle_name_here',
      'uid' => '1',
      'langcode' => Language::LANGCODE_DEFAULT,
      'status' => Media::PUBLISHED,
      'your_image_field_name_here' => [
        'target_id' => $fid,
        'alt' => t('foo'),
        'title' => t('bar'),
      ],
    ]);
    $image_media->save();

    // Then do the same for the video media entity.
    // $video_media = ... ->save();

    $node = Node::create([
      // The node entity bundle.
      'type' => 'article',
      'langcode' => 'en',
      'created' => $created_date,
      'changed' => $created_date,
      // The user ID.
      'uid' => 1,
      'moderation_state' => 'published',
      'title' => $title,
      'field_article_section' => array('target_id'=>$section_target_id),
      'field_author' => 111,
      'field_article_main_image' => ['target_id' => $image_media->id()],
      'field_article_main_video' => array(
        // ... the same as before
      ),
      'field_article_body_summary' => [
        'summary' => substr(strip_tags($text), 0, 100),
        'value' => $text,
        'format' => 'rich_text'
      ]
    ]);
    $node->save();

Anything has changes since the last example code?

I'm trying create medias exactly how are you showing here, the thing in my case are. I can see a thumbnail image on the media overview, the node. But when I edit the media the image field is empty. The file entity is showing the file is been using 2 times, and one of them is on the media. Weird case is the media seems to lose the reference. How could double check / fix this situation ?

Killua99 I had the same issue, and it was because of the langcode, if I removed the langcode value from the array it saved the image correctly!

Thanks you mojiferous! I did what you said and it works! This code should be added in the Module Documentation.

Hi I am looking for a similar solution but I need to find the image fid before I start this process? I am trying to use it for a migration where there are multiple nodes that have the same image. Currently a media entity is being created for each one and I would like to assign one media entry to each node.

I have been unable to find a solution in my research as yet.

1an just generate a lookup array while migrating. something like

if (!isset($lookup[FILE_IDENTIFIER_FROM_SOURCE])) {

  $media = Media::create([/* Creat yourr media file*/]);
  $lookup[FILE_IDENTIFIER_FROM_SOURCE] = $media;

}

$media_id = $lookup[FILE_IDENTIFIER_FROM_SOURCE]->id();

You might just save the media ID when no need of more info

Hi @marcoscano,
tired #5 but it's not working and getting error as "The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later.
Error: Undefined class constant 'PUBLISHED'".

Thanks.

You should replace:
'status' => Media::PUBLISHED

With
'status' => 1,
