accept

Specifies a file type or several types accepted by the UI component.

Type:

Default Value: ''

The value of this property is passed to the accept attribute of the underlying input element. Thus, the property accepts a MIME type or several types separated by a comma. Refer to the input element documentation for information on available values.

accessKey

Specifies the shortcut key that sets focus on the UI component.

Type:

Default Value: undefined

The value of this property will be passed to the accesskey attribute of the HTML element that underlies the UI component.

activeStateEnabled

Specifies whether the UI component changes its state as a result of user interaction.

Type:

Default Value: false

The UI component switches to the active state when users press down the primary mouse button. When this property is set to true, the CSS rules for the active state apply. You can change these rules to customize the component.

Use this property when you display the component on a platform whose guidelines include the active state change for UI components.

allowCanceling

Specifies if an end user can remove a file from the selection and interrupt uploading.

Type:

Default Value: true

If this property is set to true, a cancel button is displayed for each selected file.

NOTE

This property applies only if the uploadMode is not set to "useForm".

allowedFileExtensions

Restricts file extensions that can be uploaded to the server.

Type:

Array<String>

Default Value: []

chunkSize

Specifies the chunk size in bytes. Applies only if uploadMode is "instantly" or "useButtons". Requires a server that can process file chunks.

Type:

Default Value: 0

Set this property to a positive value to enable chunk upload. The UI component should be configured as described in the Chunk Upload article. When chunk upload is enabled, the FileUploader sends several multipart/form-data requests with information about the file and chunk. The "chunkMetadata" parameter contains chunk details as a JSON object of the following structure:

{
    "FileGuid": string,   
    "FileName": string,   
    "FileType": string,   
    "FileSize": long,
    "Index": long,        // The chunk's index
    "TotalCount": long,   // The file's total chunk count
}

dialogTrigger

Specifies the HTML element which invokes the file upload dialog.

Type:

|

Default Value: undefined

This property accepts one of the following values:

uploadHeaders

Specifies headers for the upload request.

Type: any

Default Value: {}

uploadMethod

Specifies the method for the upload request.

Type:

Default Value: 'POST'

Accepted Values: 'POST' | 'PUT'

The property makes sense only if the uploadMode property is set to "useButtons" or "instantly".

uploadMode

Specifies how the UI component uploads files.

Type:

Default Value: 'instantly'

Accepted Values: 'instantly' | 'useButtons' | 'useForm'

Depending on the uploadMode, the FileUploader UI component uses an HTML form or a FormData interface with a series of Ajax requests to upload files. The uploadMode property accepts one of the following values:

"instantly" (default)
Ajax upload. Files are uploaded after they are selected.
"useButtons"
Ajax upload. Files are uploaded after a user clicks the Upload button.
"useForm"
HTML form upload. Files are uploaded when the HTML form is submitted.

uploadUrl

Specifies a target Url for the upload request.

Type:

Default Value: '/'

The property makes sense only if the uploadMode property is set to "useButtons" or "instantly".

validationError

Information on the broken validation rule. Contains the first item from the validationErrors array.

Type: any

Default Value: null

validationErrors

An array of the validation rules that failed.

Type:

Array<any>

Default Value: null

validationStatus

Indicates or specifies the current validation status.

Type:

Default Value: 'valid'

Accepted Values: 'valid' | 'invalid' | 'pending'

The following table illustrates the validation status indicators:

validationStatus	Indicator
`"pending"`
`"valid"`
`"invalid"`

When you assign "invalid" to validationStatus, you can also use the validationErrors array to set an error message as shown below:

jQuery

index.js

$(function() {
    const fileUploader = $("#fileUploaderContainer").dxFileUploader({
        // ...
    }).dxFileUploader("instance");

    function setInvalidStatus(message) {
        fileUploader.option({
            validationStatus: "invalid",
            validationErrors: [{ message: message }]
        });
    }
});

Angular

    [validationErrors]="validationErrors">
</dx-file-uploader>

// ...
export class AppComponent {
    validationStatus: string = "valid";
    validationErrors: any;
    // ...
    setInvalidStatus(message) {
        this.validationStatus = "invalid";
        this.validationErrors = [{ message: message }];
    }
}

            return {
                validationStatus: "valid",
                validationErrors: []
            }
        },
        methods: {
            setInvalidStatus(message) {
                this.validationStatus = "invalid";
                this.validationErrors = [{ message: message }];
            }
        }
    }
</script>

    const [validationStatus, setValidationStatus] = useState("valid");
    const [validationErrors, setValidationErrors] = useState([]);
