Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Problem/Motivation
As part of #3221796: [META] Modernise file upload logic we are removing duplicated logic in the different ways files can be uploaded.
The following classes define a way to get file upload validators from settings using (almost) identical logic.
\Drupal\file\Plugin\Field\FieldType\FileItem::getUploadValidators()\Drupal\file\Plugin\rest\resource\FileUploadResource::getUploadValidators()\Drupal\jsonapi\Controller\TemporaryJsonapiFileFieldUploader::getUploadValidators()- and in contrib
\Drupal\graphql\GraphQL\Utility\FileUpload::getUploadValidators()
Note: we can't use inheritance as there are different ways files can be uploaded (i.e. form vs input stream).
Steps to reproduce
Proposed resolution
Provide a trait that these classes can use to get file upload validators from settings.
Remaining tasks
User interface changes
API changes
Data model changes

smustgrave commentedChange looks good. Can we get a CR to announce the new trait?
Comment #5
kim.pepperHad a thought that we may need to add a trait for getImageUploadValidators() as code is duplicated between ImageWidget and CKEditor5ImageController. Created #3389675: Provide a trait to create image upload validators from settings for that.
Renamed the trait method to
\Drupal\file\Validation\FileValidatorSettingsTrait::getFileUploadValidators()for clarity.Added a CR.
