Anatomy

To set up the file upload component correctly, you'll need to understand its anatomy and how we name its parts.

Each part includes a data-part attribute to help identify them in the DOM.

Examples

      <FileUpload.Dropzone>Drag your file(s) here</FileUpload.Dropzone>
      <FileUpload.Trigger>Choose file(s)</FileUpload.Trigger>
      <FileUpload.ItemGroup>
        <FileUpload.Context>
          {({ acceptedFiles }) =>
            acceptedFiles.map((file) => (
              <FileUpload.Item key={file.name} file={file}>
                <FileUpload.ItemPreview type="image/*">
                  <FileUpload.ItemPreviewImage />
