exists: false,
id: '1'
}, {
file: createMockFile('fileName-2.png', 2000000, 'image/png'),
exists: false,
id: '2'
}, {
file: createMockFile('fileName-3.png', 3000000, 'image/png'),
exists: false,
id: '3'

file: createMockFile('fileName-2.png', 2000000, 'image/png'),
exists: false,
id: '2'
}, {
file: createMockFile('fileName-3.png', 3000000, 'image/png'),
exists: false,
id: '3'
}]} label="Ordered List A" variant="ol" listType="A" />

file: createMockFile('fileName-1.png', 1000000, 'image/png'),
exists: false,
id: '1'
}, {
file: createMockFile('fileName-2.png', 2000000, 'image/png'),
exists: false,
id: '2'
}, {
file: createMockFile('fileName-3.png', 3000000, 'image/png'),

<Value.Upload value={[{
file: createMockFile('fileName-1.png', 1000000, 'image/png'),
exists: false,
id: '1'
}, {
file: createMockFile('fileName-2.png', 2000000, 'image/png'),
exists: false,
id: '2'
}, {
file: createMockFile('fileName-3.png', 3000000, 'image/png'),
exists: false,
id: '3'
}]} label="Ordered List I" variant="ol" listType="I" />
<Value.Upload value={[{
file: createMockFile('fileName-1.png', 1000000, 'image/png'),
exists: false,
id: '1'
}, {
file: createMockFile('fileName-2.png', 2000000, 'image/png'),
exists: false,
id: '2'
}, {
file: createMockFile('fileName-3.png', 3000000, 'image/png'),
exists: false,
id: '3'
}]} label="Unordered List square" variant="ul" listType="square" />
<Value.Upload value={[{
file: createMockFile('fileName-1.png', 1000000, 'image/png'),
exists: false,
id: '1'
}, {
file: createMockFile('fileName-2.png', 2000000, 'image/png'),
exists: false,
id: '2'
}, {
file: createMockFile('fileName-3.png', 3000000, 'image/png'),
exists: false,
id: '3'
}]} label="Unordered List circle" variant="ul" listType="circle" />
```


### Field.Upload path


```tsx
render(<Form.Handler data={{
  myPath: [{
    file: createMockFile('fileName-1.png', 1000000, 'image/png'),
    exists: false,
    id: '1'
  }, {
    file: createMockFile('fileName-2.png', 3000000, 'image/png'),
    exists: false,
    id: '2'
  }, {
    file: createMockFile('fileName-3.png', 3000000, 'image/png'),
    exists: false,
    id: '3'
  }]
}}>
        <Flex.Stack>
          <Field.Upload label="My selections" path="/myPath" />
          <Value.Upload inheritLabel path="/myPath" variant="ul" listType="unstyled" />
        </Flex.Stack>
      </Form.Handler>)
```


### Using `onFileClick`


```tsx
render(<Value.Upload label="Label text" value={[{
  file: createMockFile('35217511.jpg', 1000000, 'image/png'),
  exists: false,
  id: '1'
}, {
  file: createMockFile('1501870.jpg', 2000000, 'image/png'),
  exists: false,
  id: '2'
}]} onFileClick={async ({
  fileItem
}) => {
  const request = createRequest();
  console.log(`making API request to fetch the url of the file: ${fileItem.file.name}`);
  await request(2000); // Simulate a request
  window.open(`https://eufemia.dnb.no/images/avatars/${fileItem.file.name}`, '_blank');
}} />)
```


### Display files as non-clickable

When file size is 0 or not given (`new File([], name, { type })`), the file is displayed as a span instead of an anchor. However, when `onFileClick` is given, the file will be clickable as a button.


```tsx
render(<Value.Upload label="Label text" value={[{
  file: createMockFile('35217511.jpg', 0, 'image/png'),
  exists: false,
  id: '1'
}, {
  file: createMockFile('1501870.jpg', undefined, 'image/png'),
  exists: false,
  id: '2'
}]} />)
```



  
```tsx
render(<Value.Upload onFileClick={() => {
  console.log('Clicked on file');
}} label="Label text" value={[{
  file: createMockFile('fileName-1.png', 1000000, 'image/png'),
  exists: false,
  id: '1'
}, {
  file: createMockFile('fileName-2.png', 2000000, 'image/png'),
  exists: false,
  isLoading: true,
  id: '2'
}]} />)
```

  
```tsx
<Value.Upload onFileClick={() => {
console.log('Clicked on file');
}} value={[{
file: createMockFile('fileName-1.png', 1000000, 'image/png'),
exists: false,
isLoading: true,
id: '1'
}, {
file: createMockFile('fileName-2.png', 2000000, 'image/png'),
exists: false,
id: '2'
}, {
file: createMockFile('fileName-3.png', 3000000, 'image/png'),
exists: false,
id: '3'
}]} label="Ordered List" variant="ol" />
<Value.Upload onFileClick={() => {
console.log('Clicked on file');
}} value={[{
file: createMockFile('fileName-1.png', 1000000, 'image/png'),
exists: false,
id: '1'
}, {
file: createMockFile('fileName-2.png', 2000000, 'image/png'),
exists: false,
id: '2',
isLoading: true
}, {
file: createMockFile('fileName-3.png', 3000000, 'image/png'),
exists: false,
id: '3',
isLoading: true
}]} label="Unordered List" variant="ul" />
```
