File Upload JS - Documentation

Overview

The File Upload JS component allows users to upload files in OutSystems applications without requiring a page refresh. Traditionally, the OutSystems File Upload widget requires the use of the submit method to retrieve the uploaded file, which triggers a page reload. This component bypasses that requirement by utilizing JavaScript to handle the file upload process asynchronously.

Features

• Asynchronous File Upload: Upload files without refreshing the page.
• No Submit Method Required: Eliminates the need for the submit method traditionally used to retrieve files.
• Improved User Experience: Provides a seamless file upload process without page reloads.

Installation

1. Download and Add the Component:

   • Download the File Upload JS component from the OutSystems Forge .
   • Add Dependency it into your OutSystems application.

2. Add the File Upload Widget:

   • Drag and drop the File Upload widget to your screen.
   • Handle the event raised by the File Upload, which returns the file (binary data), file name, and MIME type.
