File Upload

Used to select and upload files from their device.

import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"
import {
  FileUploadList,
  FileUploadRoot,
  FileUploadTrigger,
} from "@/components/ui/file-upload"
import { HiUpload } from "react-icons/hi"

const Demo = () => {
  return (

      <FileUploadTrigger asChild>
        <Button variant="outline" size="sm">
          <HiUpload /> Upload file
        </Button>
      </FileUploadTrigger>
      <FileUploadList />
    </FileUploadRoot>
  )
}

Setup

If you don't already have the snippet, run the following command to add the file-upload snippet

npx @chakra-ui/cli snippet add file-upload

The snippet includes a closed component composition for the FileUpload component.

Usage

import {
  FileUploadList,
  FileUploadRoot,
  FileUploadTrigger,
} from "@/components/ui/file-upload"

<FileUploadRoot>
  <FileUploadTrigger>
    <Button>
      <HiUpload /> Upload file
    </Button>
  </FileUploadTrigger>
  <FileUploadList />
</FileUploadRoot>

Examples

Media Capture

Use the capture prop to select and upload files from different environments and media types.

Note: This is not fully supported in all browsers.

import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"
import {
  FileUploadList,
  FileUploadRoot,
  FileUploadTrigger,
} from "@/components/ui/file-upload"
import { HiCamera } from "react-icons/hi"

const Demo = () => {
  return (
    <FileUploadRoot capture="environment">
      <FileUploadTrigger asChild>
        <Button variant="outline" size="sm">
          <HiCamera /> Open Camera
        </Button>
      </FileUploadTrigger>
      <FileUploadList />
    </FileUploadRoot>
  )
}

Multiple Files

Upload multiple files at once by using the maxFiles prop.

import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"
import {
  FileUploadList,
  FileUploadRoot,
  FileUploadTrigger,
} from "@/components/ui/file-upload"
import { HiUpload } from "react-icons/hi"

const Demo = () => {
  return (
    <FileUploadRoot maxFiles={5}>
      <FileUploadTrigger asChild>
        <Button variant="outline" size="sm">
          <HiUpload /> Upload file
        </Button>
      </FileUploadTrigger>
      <FileUploadList showSize clearable />
    </FileUploadRoot>
  )
}

Dropzone

Drop multiple files inside the dropzone and use the maxFiles prop to set the number of files that can be uploaded at once.

Drag and drop here to upload

.png, .jpg up to 5MB

import {
  FileUploadDropzone,
  FileUploadList,
  FileUploadRoot,
} from "@/components/ui/file-upload"

const Demo = () => {
  return (
    <FileUploadRoot maxW="xl" alignItems="stretch" maxFiles={10}>
      <FileUploadDropzone
        label="Drag and drop here to upload"
        description=".png, .jpg up to 5MB"
      />
      <FileUploadList />
    </FileUploadRoot>
  )
}

Input

Use the FileInput component to create a trigger that looks like a text input.

Upload file

import {
  FileInput,
  FileUploadLabel,
  FileUploadRoot,
} from "@/components/ui/file-upload"

const Demo = () => {
  return (
    <FileUploadRoot gap="1" maxWidth="300px">
      <FileUploadLabel>Upload file</FileUploadLabel>
      <FileInput />
    </FileUploadRoot>
  )
}

Clearable

Here's an example of a clearable file upload input.

Upload file

import { CloseButton } from "@/components/ui/close-button"
import {
  FileInput,
  FileUploadClearTrigger,
  FileUploadLabel,
  FileUploadRoot,
} from "@/components/ui/file-upload"
import { InputGroup } from "@/components/ui/input-group"
import { LuFileUp } from "react-icons/lu"

const Demo = () => {
  return (
    <FileUploadRoot gap="1" maxWidth="300px">
      <FileUploadLabel>Upload file</FileUploadLabel>
      <InputGroup
        w="full"
        startElement={<LuFileUp />}
        endElement={
          <FileUploadClearTrigger asChild>
            <CloseButton
              me="-1"
              size="xs"
              variant="plain"
              focusVisibleRing="inside"
              focusRingWidth="2px"
              pointerEvents="auto"
              color="fg.subtle"
            />
          </FileUploadClearTrigger>
        }
      >
        <FileInput />
      </InputGroup>
    </FileUploadRoot>
  )
}

Accepted Files

Define the accepted files for upload using the accept prop.

import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"
import {
  FileUploadList,
  FileUploadRoot,
  FileUploadTrigger,
} from "@/components/ui/file-upload"
import { HiUpload } from "react-icons/hi"

const Demo = () => {
  return (
    <FileUploadRoot accept={["image/png"]}>
      <FileUploadTrigger asChild>
        <Button variant="outline" size="sm">
          <HiUpload /> Upload file
        </Button>
      </FileUploadTrigger>
      <FileUploadList />
    </FileUploadRoot>
  )
}

Pasting Files

Here's an example of handling files pasted from the clipboard.

"use client"

import {
  FileUpload,
  FileUploadItemPreviewImage,
  Float,
  HStack,
  Input,
  type InputProps,
  useFileUploadContext,
} from "@chakra-ui/react"
import { HiX } from "react-icons/hi"

const FilePasteInput = (props: InputProps) => {
  const fileUpload = useFileUploadContext()
  return (
    <Input
      {...props}
      onPaste={(e) => {
        fileUpload.setClipboardFiles(e.clipboardData)
      }}
    />
  )
}

const FileImageList = () => {
  const fileUpload = useFileUploadContext()
  return (
    <HStack wrap="wrap" gap="3">
      {fileUpload.acceptedFiles.map((file) => (
        <FileUpload.Item
          p="2"
          width="auto"
          key={file.name}
          file={file}
          pos="relative"
        >
          <Float placement="top-start">
            <FileUpload.ItemDeleteTrigger
              p="0.5"
              rounded="l1"
              bg="bg"
              borderWidth="1px"
            >
              <HiX />
            </FileUpload.ItemDeleteTrigger>
          </Float>
          <FileUploadItemPreviewImage
            boxSize="12"
            rounded="l1"
            objectFit="cover"
          />
        </FileUpload.Item>
      ))}
    </HStack>
  )
}

const Demo = () => {
  return (
    <FileUpload.Root maxFiles={3} accept="image/*">
      <FileUpload.HiddenInput />
      <FileImageList />
      <FilePasteInput placeholder="Paste image here..." />
    </FileUpload.Root>
  )
}

Store

An alternative way to control the file upload is to use the RootProvider component and the useFileUpload store hook.

This way you can access the file upload state and methods from outside the file upload.

accepted: rejected:

"use client"

import {
  Code,
  FileUploadHiddenInput,
  FileUploadRootProvider,
  Stack,
  useFileUpload,
} from "@chakra-ui/react"
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"
import { FileUploadList, FileUploadTrigger } from "@/components/ui/file-upload"
import { HiUpload } from "react-icons/hi"

const Demo = () => {
  const fileUpload = useFileUpload({
    maxFiles: 1,
    maxFileSize: 3000,
  })

  const accepted = fileUpload.acceptedFiles.map((file) => file.name)
  const rejected = fileUpload.rejectedFiles.map((e) => e.file.name)

  return (
    <Stack align="flex-start">
      <Code colorPalette="green">accepted: {accepted.join(", ")}</Code>
      <Code colorPalette="red">rejected: {rejected.join(", ")}</Code>
      <FileUploadRootProvider value={fileUpload}>
        <FileUploadHiddenInput />
        <FileUploadTrigger asChild>
          <Button variant="outline" size="sm">
            <HiUpload /> Upload file
          </Button>
        </FileUploadTrigger>
        <FileUploadList />
      </FileUploadRootProvider>
    </Stack>
  )
}
