Unform

File Input

File Input

Enable your users to upload images or another files using Unform.

⚠️ All examples below are using TypeScript, if you're not using it you can simply remove all type definitions as the React.FC<Props> from component definition.

Image input with preview

Simple image input with preview before upload.

import React, {
ChangeEvent,
useRef,
useEffect,
useCallback,
useState,
} from 'react';
import { useField } from '@unform/core';
interface Props {
name: string;
}
type InputProps = JSX.IntrinsicElements['input'] & Props;
const ImageInput: React.FC<InputProps> = ({ name, ...rest }) => {
const inputRef = useRef<HTMLInputElement>(null);
const { fieldName, registerField, defaultValue, error } = useField(name);
const [preview, setPreview] = useState(defaultValue);
const handlePreview = useCallback((e: ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>) => {
const file = e.target.files?.[0];
if (!file) {
setPreview(null);
}
const previewURL = URL.createObjectURL(file);
setPreview(previewURL);
}, []);
useEffect(() => {
registerField({
name: fieldName,
ref: inputRef.current,
path: 'files[0]',
clearValue(ref: HTMLInputElement) {
ref.value = '';
setPreview(null);
},
setValue(_: HTMLInputElement, value: string) {
setPreview(value);
},
});
}, [fieldName, registerField]);
return (
<>
{preview && <img src={preview} alt="Preview" width="100" />}
<input type="file" ref={inputRef} onChange={handlePreview} {...rest} />
</>
);
};
export default ImageInput;
