uploaded file returned URL

I am trying to get the actual wix static url that is returned when a pdf file is successfully uploaded. Note, my upload button is set to type “Document”. Here is my partial code:

$w( “#btnUpload” ).startUpload()
.then( (uploadedFile) => {
$w( “#textStatus” ).text = “Upload successful” ;
$w( “#inputURL” ).value = uploadedFile.url;
let url = $w( “#inputURL” ).value;
console.log( "url: " + url);

I expected that uploadedFile.url would return the wix static url that I could then insert into a collection in a field of type document. It does successfully upload the file as confirmed in Media Manager, however, the above console log shows "url: wix: ".

So, why don’t I see the full wix static url???

Problem solved. By checking the returned value immediately after the startUpload() call instead of first putting the value in a text field and then checking it… the returned value is the full wix static url. Here is the one line of code I added: console.log("url: " + uploadedFile.url);

$w( “#btnUpload” ).startUpload()
.then( (uploadedFile) => {
console.log( "url: " + uploadedFile.url);
$w( “#textStatus” ).text = “Upload successful” ;
$w( “#inputURL” ).value = uploadedFile.url;
let url = $w( “#inputURL” ).value;
console.log( "url: " + url);
