File Upload Dropzone Validation

[Matias Galante]

Hello,

I am using Angular and I noticed in the docs there is a validateFile property you can use to ensure the right type of file is submitted and show a message otherwise if not. When you drop a file in the drop box however, you can bypass the validateFile property since it’s only called when selecting a file. When using the drop box, how can I validate the file to make sure only valid ones, say only csv and xml files are dropped?

Thanks

Hello Matias Galante,

Thank you for the feedback! In the next version the validateFile callback will be called when a file is dropped inside the drop zone.

Meanwhile, you can use a workaround to bind to the drop event of the drop zone and call the validateFile method yourself.

Here is an Example.
