We’ll start with a component that handles the drag-and-drop functionality. Now that we have the project set up, let’s dive into the code. We need to be set up with Vue 3 with the script setup syntax, and if you’re snatching my styles from the Github repo, you’ll need to make sure you’re set up to have your Vue styles compiled from Stylus (or you can set it up to use Sass and change lang to “scss” for the style blocks and it will work that way). I’m not all that familiar with most of them, and I’m not going to prescribe any one tool as of right for this project, so I recommend reading the documentation for whichever you choose to figure out how to set up the way we need it for this little project. There are a lot of ways to set up a Vue project: Vue CLI, Vite, Nuxt, and Quasar all have their own project scaffolding tools, and I’m sure there are more. This article is to learn how to create a drag-and-drop uploader in the context of a Vue app while discussing good patterns and practices and will not go deep into how to use Vue itself. Note: I will assume that readers have strong JavaScript knowledge and a good grasp of the Vue features and APIs, especially Vue 3’s composition API, but not necessarily the best ways to use them. You can also see what we’re building today on the demo page. We won’t be digging into those styles in this tutorial, but they’ll be available for you to copy or sift through yourself in the GitHub Repository - though, if you’re going to copy them, make sure you set up your project to be able to use Stylus styles (or you can set it up to use Sass and change lang to scss for the style blocks and it will work that way). To top it all off, I crafted some snazzy styles (I’m no designer, though, so don’t judge too harshly). You’ll then click on the “Upload” button to send the image data to the server and each image will display its upload status. There will be a button on the top right of the thumbnail that will remove the file from the list in case you didn’t mean to select an image or change your mind about uploading it. Instead, a thumbnail preview will show up. In addition to using Vue, we’ll be changing the features up: after an image is added, it will not upload immediately. It uploaded the files immediately after you chose them with a simple progress bar and an image thumbnail preview. What’s different about the file uploader we’re building in this article versus the previous one? The previous drag-and-drop file uploader was built with Vanilla JS and really focused on how to make file uploading and drag-and-drop file selection work, so its feature set was limited. upload').Building on a previous article on How to Build a Drag-and-Drop File Uploader, we’ll be adding some new features, but more importantly (maybe), we’ll be learning how to build it in Vue 3 and learn some best practices for Vue along the waxy. This is where our data URI array comes into play. We’re using each again to upload each file one by one. We’ll also show a little CSS loading bar. As I mentioned, we want to pass the data to a PHP file. Now we need to figure out what to do when the user presses the upload button. And finally, empty the array/set z to -40 $('#extra-files #file-list li').remove() We'll also make the upload button disappear We need to remove all the images and li elements as There is also a little bit of simple CSS. If you don’t want to get symbolset you could use an alternative or just not use a symbol font all together! So first off, we need to include the appropriate files in our index.html file: Getting Startedįor this tutorial I’m using jQuery and an icon font called symbolset. We’ll also be using local storage to remember which files were uploaded by the user. Today we’re going to be creating a file uploader using HTML5 drag and drop, along with the file reader API and some PHP.
