How to achieve file uploads with Phoenix LiveView

miteshnath · October 12, 2020, 1:24pm

I am trying to follow this https://youtu.be/QJkopba8yyE?t=52 to upload a file through Phoneix LiveView.
But getting allow_upload API as undefined.
It seems to be missing from https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix_live_view/blob/master/lib/phoenix_live_view.ex
as well as from latest 0.14.7 code.
This video is barely a month old. Could it be that these features are yet not available.

That’s the case.

Thanks. Any alternative way to achieve file upload and mime-type check for Phoenix LiveView? @LostKobrakai

You can try LiveView upload with phoenix_live_view cm-uploads-merge branch and phoenix master branch as this commit supports sending binary to channel.
