Welcome to the vetaCloud Tutorial!

In this tutorial, we will learn how to upload files using Vue JS. Vue JS is a popular JavaScript framework for building user interfaces, and it provides a simple and efficient way to handle file uploads in web applications.

Prerequisites

In order to follow along with this tutorial, you will need to have a basic understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You will also need to have Vue JS installed in your development environment. If you haven’t already done so, you can install Vue JS by including the following script tag in your HTML file:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/vue@2.6.14/dist/vue.js"></script>

Setting up the File Input Component

First, let’s create a simple Vue component for the file input:

<div id="app">
  <input type="file" @change="handleFileUpload"></input>
  <button @click="uploadFile">Upload File</button>
</div>

In this code snippet, we have created an input element with the type “file” and attached a change event handler to it. When the user selects a file, the handleFileUpload method will be called. We have also added a button that will trigger the uploadFile method when clicked.

Handling the File Upload

Next, let’s implement the methods for handling the file upload:

new Vue({
  el: '#app',
  data: {
    file: null
  },
  methods: {
    handleFileUpload(event) {
      this.file = event.target.files[0]
    },
    uploadFile() {
      // Send the file to the server using a library like axios
      // Example: axios.post('/upload', this.file)
      console.log('File uploaded:', this.file)
    }
  }
})

In this code snippet, we have defined a new Vue instance and added a data property called “file” to store the selected file. We have also implemented the handleFileUpload method to update the “file” property when a file is selected, and the uploadFile method to send the file to the server (in this example, we are logging the file to the console for demonstration purposes).

Conclusion

That’s it! You have now learned how to upload files using Vue JS. With just a few lines of code, you can easily handle file uploads in your web application.
