Project:
Introduced in branch:
8.4.x
Introduced in version:
8.4.0
Description:
The Media module now includes a File media source plugin. It adapts and supersedes the Document media type plugin from the Media Entity Document contrib module.
Media Entity Image in contrib will provide a migration path to File in core. New code that needs similar functionality should depend on core Media and use the File source plugins from core.
The File media source plugins is built on top of the core Media API, which differs from the Media Entity API implemented by the Document plugin in contrib in several important ways. If you have code that is using Document in contrib, you can make it work with File in core by referring to these instructions.
