How to preview an image and filename for a file upload in Clojure?


I want to upload an image, show a preview of the image, and the associated filename, all in Clojure.

The example at http://jsfiddle.net/LvsYc/638/ demonstrates what I want to do, except I want it in Clojure/ClojureScript.

I have attempted to rewrite the code from the above link, and have managed to output the file-name to the console using (js/console.log). I have two global atoms in my file, one for the image name, and one for the image itself. My code below is my attempt so far.

What do I need to do to 1). get the name of the file from the console log and display it in the :span.file-name using these atoms, and 2), display a preview of the image?

(def image (atom "#"))
(def image-name (atom nil))


(def file-upload-selector
  "Implements a file-upload button, allowing the user to 
   navigate to a file on their desktop and select it."
  (let 
      [reader (js/FileReader.)
       _ (set! (.-onload reader)
               (fn [e]
                 (reset! image
                         (-> e .-target .-result  ))))
       read-url
       (fn [input]
         (reset! image-name (-> input .-target .-files (aget 0) .-name))

         (js/console.log (-> input .-target .-files (aget 0) .-name))
                   (when-let [file-input (.-files input)]  
                     (.readAsDataURL reader (aget file-input 0))))]


      (fn []
        [:div.file.has-name.is-boxed
         [:label.file-label
          [:input.file-input {:type "file"
                              :name "User_Photo"
                              :id "file"
                              :on-change read-url}]
          [:span.file-cta
           [:span.file-icon
            [:i.fas.fa-upload]]
           [:span.file-label "Upload profile picture" ]

           ][:img {:src image :alt "your image" }]
          [:span.file-name {:id  "filename" } image-name
           ]]])))



Solution

  • Found a solution that worked for me. After researching online, the following github link was what I needed.

    https://github.com/jlangr/image-upload/blob/master/src/cljs/image_upload/core.cljs

    Relevant code from @jlangr.

      (let [file (first (array-seq (.. file-added-event -target -files)))
            file-reader (js/FileReader.)]
        (set! (.-onload file-reader)
              (fn [file-load-event]
                (reset! preview-src (-> file-load-event .-target .-result))
                (let [img (.getElementById js/document img-id)]
                  (set! (.-onload img)
                        (fn [image-load]
                          (.log js/console "dimensions:" (.-width img) "x" (.-height img)))))))
        (.readAsDataURL file-reader file))) 
    
    
    
     (defn image-upload-fn []
      [:div [:h2 "image-upload"]
       [:input {:type "file" :on-change load-image}]
       [:img {:id img-id :src @preview-src}]])
