3. Enterprise Steps: We begin with a versatile function, dataUrlToBlob, designed to convert base64 data URLs into Blob objects. This function plays a crucial role in transforming the base64 representation of an image into a format suitable for attachments. Our Owl.js component, named MyComponent, is at the core of this functionality. It encompasses the user interface, logic, and interaction with Odoo services.

4. Enterprise Example:

5. Enterprise Setup Method The setup method is executed when the component is initialized. In this method, we perform crucial setup tasks. We initialize the threadService and attachmentUploadService from Odoo. These services provide the necessary functionalities to interact with chat threads and handle attachments. SentMessage Method The sentMessage method orchestrates the entire process of sending a message to a user's chat, including attaching a file. This method takes a userId as a parameter, retrieves the associated chat thread using threadService, and then assembles the necessary data for the message. It includes the uploaded attachment and uses the threadService to post the message to the chat.

6. Enterprise ImageFile Getter The ImageFile getter transforms the base64 image data into a File object, making it suitable for attachment uploads. Here, we extract the base64-encoded data from the attachment property, convert it into a Blob using the dataUrlToBlob function, and then create a File object with a specified name and type. PostData Getter The postData getter defines the structure for the message data, including attachment-related fields. This getter provides a template for the data structure expected by the threadService.post method. It includes an empty array for attachments and other optional fields.

7. Enterprise UploadData Method The uploadData method handles the upload of the image as an attachment, returning the attachment object. Here, we utilize the attachmentUploadService to upload the ImageFile to the specified chat thread, returning the attachment object.
