Attach files via drag and drop or file input.

$ npm install @github/file-attachment-element

Usage

import '@github/file-attachment-element'

<file-attachment directory input="upload">

Optional attributes

• file-attachment[directory] enables traversing directories.
• file-attachment[input] points to the ID of a file input inside of <file-attachment>. Files selected from the <input> will be attached to <file-attachment>. Supplying an input is strongly recommended in order to ensure users can upload files without a mouse or knowing where to paste files.

Styling drag state

A boolean [hover] attribute is present on <file-attachment> while files are dragged over the element.

file-attachment[hover] { border: 2px dashed grey; }

Events

• file-attachment-accept – Files were dropped onto the element. Call event.preventDefault() to prevent the drop. Bubbles.
• file-attachment-accepted – Files were added to the attachment list and can be uploaded by the host app. Bubbles.
