See working demo

Features

• Select the maximum number of images allowed to be uploaded
• Pass the image types allowed to be uploaded (default is png and jpg)
• Pass a maximum image size

Installation

yarn add @nagoos/vue-image-picker

Usage

When using ES imports, import the ImagePicker component and imageUploadingStates enum and use them in your component

import { ImagePicker, imageUploadingStates } from "@nagoos/vue-image-picker"

The v-model is an image array that holds the images the user has selected. The activeImageUploads property allows the ImagePicker component to communicate the upload status of the images the user has selected.

<ImagePicker v-model="images" :activeImageUploads="activeImageUploads">
  <v-flex xs4 md3>
    <img :src="placeholderImage" width="100%" height="100%">
  </v-flex>
</ImagePicker>

Images model

The vue-image-picker's model is an array of Objects which represents an array of images selected by the user.

Each object contains the following properties

imageFile

A native File object created by the browser when the user selects a file

imageURL

A data url which can be assigned to an <img>'s src to show the selected file

key

A key representing a unique image name

name

The name of the image file selected by the user

Active Image Uploads

An Object containing the active upload state of images selected by the user. For each image that the system wishes to indicate the upload state of, there should be a key-value pair added to the Object:

key

The key should equal the key of the image entry in the images[] array that the system wishes to indicate an upload state for.

value

The value is an Object with two properties:

{
  progress,
  state
}

The progress's value should be a Number between 0 and 100 to indicate the percentage progress of the image upload.

The state's value should be one of the imageUploadingStates enums: NEW, UPLOADING, ERROR, or COMPLETE.
