MultifileElement
Renders a multi-file uploader.
Basic Usage
<MultifileElement>
component can be used in a <Vueform>
component:
<template>
<Vueform>
<MultifileElement name="multifile" />
</Vueform>
</template>
Configuration options can be passed over as regular component props. Check out Options section for available configuration options.
Options
Find below the list of options that can use to configure MultifileElement
component. Options can be passed to the component via props in inline templates, or in the element's object when using schema
.
drop
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
false
<MultifileElement :drop="true" ... />
Whether DragAndDrop
component should be used to select file(s) instead of a button.
sort
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
false
<MultifileElement :sort="true" view="gallery" ... />
Whether the files can be sorted.
controls
- Type:
object
- Default:
{
"add": true,
"remove": true,
"sort": true
}
<!-- Can't add --->
<MultifileElement :sort="true" :controls="{ add: false }" ... />
<!-- Can't remove --->
<MultifileElement :sort="true" :controls="{ remove: false }" ... />
<!-- Can't sort --->
<MultifileElement :sort="true" :controls="{ sort: false }" ... />
Defines the available controls. Object properties:
add
- enables/disables adding a new fileremove
- enables/disables removing filessort
- enables/disables sorting whensort
is enabled
object
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
null
<MultifileElement :object="false" ... />
<MultifileElement :object="true" ... />
Whether the file instances should be objects, where the file's value is contained in the storeFile
object property (storeFile
defaults to 'file'
).
When using storeOrder
or fields
options, instances will automatically have object: true
.
storeFile
- Type:
string
- Default:
file
<MultifileElement store-file="logo" ... />
The name of the object property that contains the file value when using object: true
.
fields
- Type:
object
- Default:
{}
<MultifileElement view="image" :fields="{
label: { type: 'text', floating: 'File label' }
}"... />
Additional fields for each file instance. Can be any field type.
If fields
is defined the MultifileElement's value will no longer be a plain array of file values. It will become an array of objects where the file's value is contained in the storeFile
object property (storeFile
defaults to 'file'
).
storeOrder
- Type:
string
- Default:
null
<MultifileElement
view="image"
:sort="true"
store-order="order"
:fields="{
order: { type: 'hidden' }
}"
:default="[
{ file: 'image.jpeg', order: 1 },
{ file: 'image2.jpeg', order: 2 },
{ file: 'image3.jpeg', order: 3 },
]"
... />
The name of the element that stores the order value when using sort
. When storeOrder
is defined object
will be automatically set to true
and the file's value will be contained in storeFile
object-property.
The element that contains the store is recommended to be HiddenElement
.
order
- Type:
string
- Default:
null
<!-- Using `object: false` --->
<MultifileElement order="asc" :object="false" @mounted="el$ => el$.load([
'image3.jpeg',
'image.jpeg',
'image2.jpeg',
])" ... />
<!-- Using `object: true` and `orderBy` --->
<MultifileElement order="desc" order-by="order" :object="true" @mounted="el$ => el$.load([
{ file: 'image3.jpeg', order: 3 },
{ file: 'image.jpeg', order: 1 },
{ file: 'image2.jpeg', order: 2 },
])" ... />
Automatically sorts the files when data is loaded. Possible values: 'asc|desc'
.
If object: false
it will be sorted based on filenames (when uploaded files are loaded).
If object: true
it should be used in conjunction with orderBy
which defines the name of the object property that contains the order.
orderBy
- Type:
string
- Default:
null
<MultifileElement order="asc" order-by="order" :object="true"
@mounted="el$ => el$.load([
{ file: 'images/image3.jpeg', order: 3 },
{ file: 'images/image.jpeg', order: 1 },
{ file: 'images/image2.jpeg', order: 2 },
])
" ... />
The name of the object property that determines the order when using order
. Defining this option automatically sets object
to true
and adds an a hidden element with the same name to fields
if it is not defined yet.
file
- Type:
object
- Default:
{}
<MultifileElement :file="{ rules: 'max:1024' }"... /> <!-- File max size: 1 MB -->
Additional options for each file instance that you would define for FileElement
.
accept
- Type:
string|array
- Default:
null
<MultifileElement accept=".jpg,.png,.gif" view="image" ... />
Resticts the accepted file types. To specify more than one value, separate the values with a comma (e.g. 'audio/*,video/*,image/*'
) or use an array (e.g. ['.jpg','.png','.gif']
).
Possible values:
- file_extension - specify the file extension(s) (e.g:
.gif
,.jpg
,.png
,.doc
) the user can pick from 'audio/*'
- the user can pick all sound files'video/*'
- the user can pick all video files'image/*'
- the user can pick all image files- media_type - a valid media type, with no parameters (look at IANA Media Types for a complete list of standard media types)

but also an object containing url
and method
:
<!-- Using an object as endpoint -->
<MultifileElement :upload-temp-endpoint="{
url: '/files',
method: 'POST'
}" ... />
It can be a named endpoint that references an endpoint in vueform.config.js
:
// vueform.config.js
export default {
endpoints: {
upload_file: {
url: '/files',
method: 'POST'
}
}
}
<!-- Using a named endpoint -->
<MultifileElement upload-temp-endpoint="upload_file" ... />
It can be an async function
that handles the file upload and returns an object with data
:
<!-- Using a function to upload file -->
<MultifileElement :upload-temp-endpoint="async function(file, el$){
let data = el$.form$.convertFormData({
file,
}) // befomes `FormData` object
/* upload file */
return {
tmp: '...', // the temp file identifier
originalName: '...', // the original name of the file that will be displayed to the user
}
}" ... />
If the temporary uploading should be skipped the endpoint should return a string
with the filename instead of an object
. Eg:
<!-- Using a function to upload file without temp upload -->
<MultifileElement :upload-temp-endpoint="async function(file, el$){
let data = el$.form$.convertFormData({
file,
}) // befomes `FormData` object
/* upload file */
return 'filename.jpg'
}" ... />
If the file(s) should be sent with the all other form data upon submission (completely skipping temp uploading), the endpoint can be disabled with false
:
<!-- Using a function to upload file without temp upload -->
<MultifileElement :upload-temp-endpoint="false" ... />

date string ortoday
)
The expected value can also be defined as an array
in which case any of its values will fulfill the condition.
Conditions can be defined with OR
relation or as function
. Learn more about conditions here.
columns
- Type:
object|string|number
- Default:
null
<MultifileElement label="Label" :columns="{ container: 12, label: 3, wrapper: 12 }" ... />
Sets the size of the container
, label
and wrapper
using the theme's grid system, where the:
container
is the wrapper DOM that contains bothlabel
andwrapper
label
contains the labelwrapper
contains the file list.
container: 12
label: 3
wrapper: 12
The value of container
defines the size of the element's container. 12
will result in full width, 6
in half, 4
in third and so on.
The value of label
defines the amount of space the label should take up within the container. If the container
is 12
and label
is 6
the label is going to take up half the space and the file list will the other half (which is calculated automatically). If the container
is 6
and label
is 6
, the label will only take up one forth and the file list the rest. In case the label
has full width (12
) the file list will also take up full space instead of becoming zero.
The value of wrapper
defines the size of the file list wrapper within the space left for it in the container after subtracting the size of the label. If the container
is 12
and label
is 4
the space left for the file list is 8
. In this case if the wrapper
value is 12
it will take up the full space left for it (which is 8
) while if it is changed to 6
it will only take up half the space left for it (4
):
<MultifileElement label="Label" :columns="{ container: 12, label: 4, wrapper: 12 }" ... />
<MultifileElement label="Label" :columns="{ container: 12, label: 4, wrapper: 6 }" ... />
Note that while the size of the file list wrapper changes, the size of extras like a description or error won't be limited to the wrapper's space. Instead it will take up the full space in the container left after subtracting the size of the label:
<MultifileElement
label="Label"
:columns="{ container: 12, label: 4, wrapper: 6 }"
description="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit"
... />
You can set the value of columns
as a number
in which case the container
will receive its value without affecting the default settings of label
and wrapper
:
<MultifileElement label="Label" :columns="6" ... /> <!-- { container: 6, label: 3, wrapper: 12 } -->
You can as well define column values for different breakpoints using the theme system's breakpoints like sm
, md
, etc. as keys:
<MultifileElement label="Label" :columns="{
xs: { container: 12, label: 12, wrapper: 12 },
sm: { container: 12, label: 4, wrapper: 12 },
md: 12,
lg: { container: 12, label: 2, wrapper: 12 }
}" ... />
Default column sizes can be defined globally in
vueform.config.js
or on form level usingcolumns
.

Overrides the classes of any component's class names. The classes can have string
or array
values. When Vue style classes are used object
values must be wrapped in an array.
Conditional classes can be passed as a function
with form$
param, eg.:
<MultifileElement :override-classes="(form$) => ({
ComponentName: form$.el$('other_field')?.value === 'some_value' ? {
classname: 'class-value'
} : {}
})" ... />
