<MediaUpload /> How to retrive image title, alt & description?

[mathishuettl]

Hello,

I use the component. When i log the output in the onSelect callback I can't find the title tag. Only the alt & caption are there. How can I get alt, title & description for an image?

I found a solution ... is that a good one?

I use the HOC withSelect to get all the image-details:

export default withSelect( ( select, ownProps ) => {
	const { getMedia } = select( 'core' );
	const { id } = ownProps;

    let img = id ? getMedia(id) : null;

	return {
		image: img,
	};
} )( GalleryImage );

And in the ComponentDidUpdate I retrive the author (description)

componentDidUpdate() {
        const { image, author, setAttributes } = this.props;

        if (image && !author && !this.state.gotAuthor ) {
            setAttributes( { author: image.description.raw, } );
            this.setState( { gotAuthor: true } );
        }
    }

That's a great one :)

For anyone else looking for this functionality, when the user selects an image, onSelect now returns an object including alt, author, caption and other useful details.
