Description

The Upload component should be used in scenarios where the user has to upload any kind of files.

How to use the Upload component

  • Files selected by the user should be uploaded immediately (temporary location).
  • The user should be able to remove them (files) during the session.
  • If the Upload component is shown in a submit form, then a GlobalStatus should be a part of the form.
  • Validation messages coming from the "backend" should be displayed for each file via the useUpload hook. See example below.
  • The useUpload hook can be placed on any location in your application, and does not need to be where the Upload component is used.
function YourComponent() {
  const { files, setFiles } = Upload.useUpload('unique-id')


  React.useEffect(() => {
    setFiles(
      files.map((fileItem) => {
        if (fileItem.file.name === fileNameFromBackend) {
          fileItem.errorMessage = 'Your message from the backend'
        }
        return fileItem
      }),
    )
  }, [fileNameFromBackend])


  return <Upload id="unique-id" />
}

Backend integration

The "backend" receiving the files is decoupled and can be any existing or new system.

Limit the amount of files

By default, the Upload component accepts multiple files. You can use the prop filesAmountLimit={1} to make the component accept only one file.

Page wide drop support

Once the Upload component mounts, it also adds support for dropping files to the entire browser body.

NB: When you have several mounted components, only the first Upload component will receive the dropped files.

'useUpload' React Hook

By using the Upload.useUpload you can remove or add files or the status displayed in the component.

You can also use the file blob in combination with the FileReader API.

              file,
            })

Upload loading state

When uploading the file you can set the loading state of the request using the Upload.useUpload hook and passing isLoading to the file that is being uploaded.

      <Upload acceptedFileTypes={['jpg', 'png']} id="upload-is-loading" />
      <ToggleButton
        top="small"
        disabled={files.length < 1}
        on_change={({ checked }) =>
          setFiles(
            files.map((fileItem) => {
              return {
                ...fileItem,
                isLoading: checked,
              }
            }),
          )
        }
      >
        Files is loading toggle
      </ToggleButton>
    </>
  )
}
render(<Component />)

Upload error message

The only checks we do currently is for the file size and the file type. These errors are handled by the HTML element ´input´ so they aren't selectable. If you want any other error messages you can use the Upload.useUpload the same way as with the loading state.

        Toggle error message

  )
}
render(<Component />)

Upload specific accepted file formats

You can pass the file formats as a string array. This will restrict which files that can be selected.
