"active" - the state when the element is active (e.g., current page in pagination)
config?.allowedExtensionsArray<string>-An array of strings that specifies the file extensions allowed for upload. This configuration ensures that only files matching the specified extensions can be uploaded, enhancing security and maintaining control over the types of files that users can upload.

For example:
["video/*", ".jpg", ".png]

This setup allows for the upload of any video format, as well as JPEG, JPG and PNG image formats.

If config?.allowedExtensions not provided, then user allowed to upload any type of file.

Default - the control's custom initial value
style?function-This function generates CSS output based on the value from the control. The parameter is an object containing a value key, which holds the current value of the control. The function returns an object with a CSS selector key and CSS property values.

return {
"{{WRAPPER}} .brz-download": {
display: value ? "flex" : "none"
}
}
}

Basic example

Standard definition with only the required keys. This control will be displayed on all devices.

{
id: "file",
type: "fileUpload"
}

Return value

The return value is a string that contains the file's ID and name, separated by "|||".

{
value: string;
}

Example of value:

{
value: "a8e41e74c4cba914345096f1|||eagle.jpg"
}

Usage

Label example

Adding a label on the left side of the control.

{
id: "file",
type: "fileUpload",
label: "File"
}

Icon example

Adding a "star" icon to the left of the control's label.

{
id: "file",
type: "fileUpload",
icon: "nc-star"
}

Roles example

Show the control only to users with admin and designer privileges.

{
id: "file",
type: "fileUpload",
roles: ["admin", "designer"]
}

Devices examples

It will be rendered on all devices. This value can be skipped because it is set to "all" by default.

{
id: "file",
type: "fileUpload",
devices: "all"
}

Rendering will occur only on desktop.

{
id: "file",
type: "fileUpload",
devices: "desktop"
}

The display is limited to responsive modes, specifically tablet and mobile.

{
id: "file",
type: "fileUpload",
devices: "responsive"
}

Disabled examples

Control will be disabled. Normally, here should be your dynamic condition.

{
id: "file",
type: "fileUpload",
disabled: true
}

Control will be disabled when selectType variable will be "youtube". getValue is a getter function that allows us to retrieve the value of controls by their id. "selectType" is the id of the "select" control below.

const getToolbarContols = ({ getValue }) => {
const selectType = getValue("selectType");

return [
{
id: "selectType",
type: "select",
choices: [
{ title: "Youtube", value: "youtube" },
{ title: "Custom", value: "custom" }
]
},
{
id: "file",
type: "fileUpload",
disabled: videoType === "custom"
}
]
}

Display examples

In this example, with display: "block", the label will be rendered on the first row and the control on the second.

{
id: "file",
type: "fileUpload",
display: "block"
}

Helper examples

The helper object contains a content property with the value "Helper", which will be displayed as additional guidance or information for the user.

{
id: "file",
type: "fileUpload",
helper: {
content: "Helper"
}
}

When the helper object contains a position property with the value "top-start", it indicates that the helper text will be displayed at the top left corner of the icon.

{
id: "file",
type: "fileUpload",
helper: {
content: "Helper",
position: "top-start"
}
}

States example

Allows the control to work in normal and hover states.

{
id: "file",
type: "fileUpload",
states: ["normal", "hover"]
}

Allows the control to work in normal, hover and active states.

{
id: "file",
type: "fileUpload",
states: ["normal", "hover", "active"]
}

Config allowedExtensions example

In this case, the fileUpload control allows uploading only .png, .jpg, .jpeg, and .mp4 files.

{
id: "file",
type: "fileUpload",
config: {
allowedExtensions: [".png", ".jpg", ".mp4"]
}
}

CSS examples

Change the .brz-download element color with CSS using a multiSelect control value. If value exist, then the color of .brz-download will be green.

{
id: "file",
type: "fileUpload",
style: ({ value }) => {
if (value) {
return {
"{{WRAPPER}} .brz-download": {
color: "green"
}
}
}
}
}

Usage in HTML example

In the example below, we use the video output value to determine when to render the label in the button element. When the video is uploaded, we will render the label. We also use the same video values to add the "data-disabled" HTML attribute to the .brz-button and to create a props.size value for the <Icon /> component.

import { Brizy } from "@brizy/core";
import React, { JSX } from "react";

interface Props {
file: string
}

const Button = (props: Props): JSX.Element => {
const { file } = props;

const isDisabled = !file;

const buttonClassName = isDisabled ? "brz-button brz-button-disabled" : "brz-button";

return (
<button className={buttonClassName} disabled={isDisabled}>
Submit
</button>
);
};

Brizy.registerComponent({
id: "ThirdParty.Button",
component: { editor: Button, view: Button },
title: "My Button",
category: "custom",
options: (props) => {
return [
{
selector: ".brz-button",
toolbar: [
{
id: "toolbarCurrentElement",
type: "popover",
config: {
icon: "nc-button",
title: "Button"
},
devices: "desktop",
options: [
{
id: "file",
type: "fileUpload",
devices: "desktop"
}
]
}
]
}
];
}
});
