Hi! I’m following [this](https://getkirby.com/docs/reference/plugins/internals/uploads) document on how to upload files to the panel in a custom field. But I don’t understand how can I get a url to the current page in the panel instead of using a absolute path to a dir.  
Below the example code. Thanks in advance!

```
<script>
export default {
  methods: {
    upload() {
      this.$refs.upload.open({
        url: window.panel.api + "/pages/projects+project-a/files"
      });
    }
  }
};
</script>

```

Maybe `this.path` or something like that?

Nop. And I tried outputing `this` to the console but I can’t find something that looks like an URL.

I also tried [Uploads | Kirby](https://getkirby.com/docs/reference/plugins/internals/uploads#handling-uploads-in-the-api__custom-route) that copies the file in a hook. But I also don’t know how to get an url there 🤦‍♂️

Maybe just simple JS?

```auto
window.location.pathname

```

But just in case I asked the team…

`this.$route.params.path` will get you the path of the current view.

The field has a model method (`$this->model()`) which refers to the current page object. The page object has a panelUrl method. So you should be able to use `$this->model()->panelUrl()`
