Note: this is a "labs" component. While functional, these tasks are prerequisites to promotion to BrightspaceUI "official" status:

Polymer component for uploading files with drag and drop capability. This component does not perform the actual uploading work, it simply provides visual cues and exposes an event when files have been uploaded.

Installation

To install from NPM:

npm install @brightspace-ui-labs/file-uploader

Usage

<head>
  <script type="module" src="@brightspace-ui-labs/file-uploader/d2l-file-uploader.js"></script>
</head>

Basic Usage with Accessible Label

It's important to always provide an accessible label which describes the purpose of the uploader using the label attribute. The label will be hidden visually but associated with the upload input for those using assistive technologies such as a screen reader.

<d2l-labs-file-uploader label="profile picture"></d2l-labs-file-uploader>

Multi-file Uploads

To allow for multiple files to be uploaded, add the multiple attribute:

<d2l-labs-file-uploader multiple ...></d2l-labs-file-uploader>

Localization

The file uploader will automatically render using the language found on the HTML element -- i.e. <html lang="fr">. If the language attribute is not present or isn't supported, the uploader will render in English.

Feedback Messages

If you encounter a scenario where you'd like to display feedback about the uploaded file(s) -- like a warning or an error -- use the feedback and feedback-type attributes.

The feedback-type defaults to "warning":

<d2l-labs-file-uploader
	feedback="Sorry, we cannot upload files larger than 1GB.">
</d2l-labs-file-uploader>

But feedback-type can also be set to "error":

<d2l-labs-file-uploader
	feedback="An error occurred occurred processing the upload."
	feedback-type="error"></d2l-labs-file-uploader>

Feedback Changed Event

To listen for when feedback changes within the uploader, register for the feedback-changed event.

Vanilla JavaScript:

<d2l-labs-file-uploader id="my-uploader" ...></d2l-labs-file-uploader>
<script>
document.getElementById('my-uploader')
	.addEventListener('feedback-changed', function(evt) {
		var feedbackMessage = evt.detail.value;
		console.log(feedbackMessage);
	});
</script>

From within another Polymer element you can use Polymer's annotated event listeners:

<dom-module id="my-element">
	<template>
		<d2l-labs-file-uploader on-feedback-changed="handleFeedback"></d2l-labs-file-uploader>
	</template>
</dom-module>

Handling Uploaded Files

When the user uploads one or more files, a d2l-file-uploader-files-added event is fired. To listen for this event, wire up an event listener to the <d2l-labs-file-uploader> element. The listener will be passed an event with an array of File objects from the File API.

Vanilla JavaScript:

<d2l-labs-file-uploader id="my-uploader" ...></d2l-labs-file-uploader>
<script>
document.getElementById('my-uploader')
	.addEventListener('d2l-file-uploader-files-added', function(evt) {
		var files = evt.detail.files;
		console.log(files);
	});
</script>

From within another Polymer element you can use Polymer's annotated event listeners:

<dom-module id="my-element">
	<template>
		<d2l-labs-file-uploader on-d2l-file-uploader-files-added="handleFileAdded"></d2l-labs-file-uploader>
	</template>
</dom-module>
