Usage

The file component is applied when specifying component: 'file' in your field.

Examples

{
  name: 'frontmatter.file',
  component: 'file',
  description: 'This is a pdf upload field',
  label: 'PDF',
},

You can also specify to accept only specific MIME types, change the default upload dir or disallow clearing.

{
  name: 'frontmatter.file',
  component: 'file',
  description: 'This is a pdf upload field',
  label: 'PDF',
  accept: 'application/pdf',
  clearable: true,
  parse: (file) => `../uploads/${file}`,
  uploadDir: () => 'src/uploads',
},
