File inputs
The v-file-input component is a specialized input that provides a clean interface for selecting files, showing detailed selection information and upload progress. It is meant to be a direct replacement for a standard file input.
Usage
At its core, the v-file-input component is a basic container that extends v-text-field.

Examples
Props
Accept
v-file-input component can accept only specific media formats/file types if you want. For more information, checkout the documentation on the accept attribute.
Chips
A selected file can be displayed as a chip. When using the chips and multiple props, each chip will be displayed (as opposed to the file count).
Counter
When using the show-size property along with counter, the total number of files and size will be displayed under the input.
Density
You can reduces the file input height with the density prop.
Multiple
The v-file-input can contain multiple files at the same time when using the multiple prop.
Prepend icon
The v-file-input has a default prepend-icon that can be set on the component or adjusted globally. More information on changing global components can be found on the customizing icons page.
Show size
The displayed size of the selected file(s) can be configured with the show-size property. Display sizes can be either 1024 (the default used when providing true) or 1000.
Validation
Similar to other inputs, you can use the rules prop to create your own custom validation parameters.
Slots
Selection
Using the selection slot, you can customize the appearance of your input selections. This is typically done with chips, however any component or markup can be used.
Misc
Complex selection slot
The flexibility of the selection slot allows you accommodate complex use-cases. In this example we show the first 2 selections as chips while adding a number indicator for the remaining amount.
