The uploader component allows you to upload the files using the select or drop files option from the file explorer. It also supports pasting to upload the image files. You can upload any currently copied images in the clipboard.
When you paste the image, it will be saved in the server with the filename as
image.png. The file name can be renamed in the server end. You can generate a random name for the file name usinggetUniqueIDmethod. Refer to the following example.
import { getUniqueID } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
import { UploaderComponent, UploadingEventArgs } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-inputs';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";
export default class App extends React.Component<{}, {}> {
public path: object = {
removeUrl: 'https://ej2.syncfusion.com/services/api/uploadbox/Remove',
saveUrl: 'https://ej2.syncfusion.com/services/api/uploadbox/Save'
}
public onUploadBegin(args: UploadingEventArgs): void {
// check whether the file is uploading from paste.
if (args.fileData.fileSource === 'paste') {
const newName: string = getUniqueID(args.fileData.name.substring(0, args.fileData.name.lastIndexOf('.'))) + '.png';
args.customFormData = [{'fileName': newName}];
}
}
public render(): JSX.Element{
return (
<UploaderComponent autoUpload={false}
asyncSettings={this.path} uploading={this.onUploadBegin = this.onUploadBegin.bind(this)} />);
}
}
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('fileupload'));public void Save()
{
var httpPostedFile = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Files["UploadFiles"];
var fileSave = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("UploadedFiles");
var fileSavePath = Path.Combine(fileSave, httpPostedFile.FileName);
if (!System.IO.File.Exists(fileSavePath))
{
httpPostedFile.SaveAs(fileSavePath);
var newName = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Form["fileName"];
var filePath = Path.Combine(fileSavePath.Substring(0, fileSavePath.LastIndexOf("\\")), newName);
// Rename the file
System.IO.File.Move(fileSavePath, newName);
HttpResponse Response = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response;
Response.Clear();
Response.ContentType = "application/json; charset=utf-8";
Response.StatusDescription = fileSavePath;
Response.End();
}
}The uploader component allows you to upload all files in the folders to server by using the directoryUpload property. When this property is enabled, the uploader component processes the files by iterating through the files and sub-directories in a directory. It allows you to select only folders instead of files to upload.
The directory upload is available only in browsers that supports HTML5 directory. The uploader will process directory upload by dragging and dropping in the Edge browser. Refer to the following example to upload files to the server.
import { UploaderComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-inputs';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";
export default class App extends React.Component<{}, {}> {
public path: object = {
removeUrl: 'https://ej2.syncfusion.com/services/api/uploadbox/Remove',
saveUrl: 'https://ej2.syncfusion.com/services/api/uploadbox/Save'
}
public render(): JSX.Element {
return (
<UploaderComponent asyncSettings={this.path} directoryUpload={true} />);
}
}
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('fileupload'));public void Save() {
var httpPostedFile = HttpContext.Current.Request.Files["UploadFiles"];
var fileSave = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("UploadedFiles");
// split the folders by using file name
string[] folders = httpPostedFile.FileName.Split('/');
string fileSavePath = "";
if (folders.Length > 1)
{
for (var i = 0; i < folders.Length - 1; i++)
{
var newFolder = Path.Combine(fileSave, folders[i]);
// create folder
Directory.CreateDirectory(newFolder);
fileSave = newFolder;
}
fileSavePath = Path.Combine(fileSave, folders[folders.Length - 1]);
}
else
{
fileSavePath = Path.Combine(fileSave, httpPostedFile.FileName);
}
if (!System.IO.File.Exists(fileSavePath))
{
// save file in the corresponding server location
httpPostedFile.SaveAs(fileSavePath);
HttpResponse Response = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response;
Response.Clear();
Response.ContentType = "application/json; charset=utf-8";
// Sending the file path to client side
Response.StatusDescription = fileSavePath;
Response.End();
}
}The uploader component allows you to drag and drop the files to upload. You can drag the files from file explorer and drop into the drop area. By default, the uploader component act as drop area element. The drop area gets highlighted when you drag the files over drop area.
The uploader component allows you to set external target element as drop area using the dropArea property. The element can be represented as HTML element or element’s id.
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { UploaderComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-inputs';
export default class App extends React.Component<{}, {}> {
public uploadObj: UploaderComponent;
public path: object = {

}

</div>
<div id='uploadfile'>
<UploaderComponent autoUpload={false} ref = {upload => {this.uploadObj = upload !}} created={this.onCreated = this.onCreated.bind(this)} asyncSettings={this.path} />

</div>);
}

}You can customize the appearance of drop area by overriding the default drop area styles. The class “” and “” is available to handle this customization.
