File upload in vuetify [closed]

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 = ''
      }
    }
  }
})

Latest version (V2.0.5) while editing this post dated Aug 11, 2019, there's a dedicated file input option. Please follow the link below for official documentation: https://vuetifyjs.com/en/components/file-inputs.

An easy trick is:

<v-btn color="success" @click="$refs.inputUpload.click()">Success</v-btn>
<input v-show="false" ref="inputUpload" type="file" @change="yourFunction" >

Just create an input with the following properties:

type=file
ref=inputUpload this works like an id, you could name it like you want
v-show=false this hides input

Then make a button that when you click it, it fires a click event on the input Upload Button.

This is something we will add in the future, but not currently. There is discussion on github with several users posting their implementations that they are using for the time being, https://github.com/vuetifyjs/vuetify/issues/238
