File upload in vuetify

Question

I'm using vuetify components for front-end in Vuejs. I want to create a user registeration form with file upload. I'm able to create a form using v-text-field in vuetify but how to upload the file. Which component to use or any other alternative way.

Answer 1

Vue JS do not have file-input feature till today, so you can tweak v-text-field to work like image input field. The concept is, create an file input field and then hide it using css, and add an event in v-text-field to trigger that specific file input field to upload image. I have attached snippet please do play with that, and I also do have a fiddle created using vue and vuetify, visit here. Thanks!

new Vue({
  el: '#app',
  data: () => ({
    title: "Image Upload",
    dialog: false,
    imageName: '',
    imageUrl: '',
    imageFile: ''
  }),

  methods: {
    pickFile() {
      this.$refs.image.click()
    },

    onFilePicked(e) {
      const files = e.target.files
      if (files[0] !== undefined) {
        this.imageName = files[0].name
        if (this.imageName.lastIndexOf('.') <= 0) {
          return
        }
        const fr = new FileReader()
        fr.readAsDataURL(files[0])
        fr.addEventListener('load', () => {
          this.imageUrl = fr.result
          this.imageFile = files[0] // this is an image file that can be sent to server...
        })
      } else {
        this.imageName = ''
        this.imageFile = ''
        this.imageUrl = ''
      }
    }
  }
})
