Hello Dear Coders, What we are building today?
A basic file upload component using LWC which will upload file to standard Content Document object. We will be using standard lightning-file-upload to upload file.
<lightning-file-upload record-id={recordId}></lightning-file-upload> lightning-file-upload requires record-id attribute, and record get saved to standard ContentDocument object.
See Demo: Uploading image using LWC lightning-file-upload
Here is the complete code to build simple image uploader using lighting-file-upload lighting web component.
- HTML file
- JS file
- XML file
Find all three files below:
HTML File
<template>
<!-- // this lightning-file-upload component directly upload image to attachment (ContentDocument object) -->
<div class="slds-card">
<lightning-file-upload
name="fileUploader"
accept={acceptedFormats}
record-id={recordId}
onuploadfinished={handleUploadFinished}
disabled={imageSelected}>
</lightning-file-upload>
</div>
</template>JS File
import { LightningElement, api, track } from 'lwc';
export default class BasicImageUploader extends LightningElement {
@api recordId;
@track imageSelected = false;
get acceptedFormats() {
return ['.jpg','.png'];
}
handleUploadFinished(event) {
const uploadedFiles = event.detail.files;
if(uploadedFiles && uploadedFiles.length > 0){
console.log('image uploaded check notes and attachment');
}
}
}Note: You can use multiple formats depends on requirement. Example: Passing image and pdf formats.
get acceptedFormats() {
return ['.jpg','.png','.pdf','.jpeg'];
