Quasar: File input?

[zz5840]

Is there any plan to beautify this ugly components?

you can refer to https://vuetifyjs.com/en/components/file-inputs

as for Uploader components, i think it's too complex in some occasion
i just want user to select a file, and i will use FileReader api to read it, no upload action exists

There were some discussions about Microsoft wanting to beautify the native components, but I don't know when and how :)

@pdanpdan i don't think it's a wise choice to wait for browser's beautifying, different browsers may have different appearance after all

Until we create something nice, there's this: https://codepen.io/rstoenescu/pen/OJPBbaN
If you take the knowledge from this you can create your very own filepicker.

Also, you can combine with QField, which is a wrapper for any type of inputs ;)

@metalsadman it's perfect, but would you consider to make it a component?

[metalsadman]

@zz5840 you can make a wrapper component out of it.

[zz5840]

@metalsadman yes, i have done it indeed, but i think it would be useful to be a built-in component

QFile coming in v1.8.

QFile will be available in "quasar" v1.8.0.
