When building software applications there are scenarios where you will want to upload and instantly preview the uploaded image(s). Before we delve into the code aspect, here are a few reasons why you might want to add the image preview functionality to your application.
<div class="container">
<h2>Upload Image:</h2>
<input type="file" onChange={handleChange} /><br />
<img src={file} style={{ maxWidth: '100%', height: 'auto' }}/>
</div>
Next, we want to define the handleChange function.
const [file, setFile] = useState();
function handleChange(e) {
console.log(e.target.files);
setFile(URL.createObjectURL(e.target.files[0]));
}
import { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
const Home = () => {
const [file, setFile] = useState();
function handleChange(e) {
console.log(e.target.files);
setFile(URL.createObjectURL(e.target.files[0]));
}
return(
<div class="container">
<h2>Upload Image:</h2>
<input type="file" onChange={handleChange} /><br />
<img src={file} style={{ maxWidth: '100%', height: 'auto' }}/>
</div>
)
}
