Image Control Component for Gutenberg Sidebars

I have a super-detailed tutorial about plugin sidebars on my blog. But there were described only some basic field types like TextControl, TextareaControl and ToggleControl.

What about something much more interesting? I mean when there were no Gutenberg years ago, I already created an image uploader field for WordPress meta boxes or options pages. What about creating a custom ImageControl component for Gutenberg sidebars right now?

Our goal here is to add a couple fields there (if you’re are looking for information about bulk actions, then it is a wrong tut for you, here is the right one).

That’s what we are going to create here:
