Trigger file selection dialog from button (Solved)

[mboeni]

Hi there

This seems to be trickier than I thought. I would like to trigger a file selection dialog by pressing the button as so:

The result I want from that is the path to the local file.

I have tried a few online examples of using the q-field with type=“file” and then hiding it but wasn’t able to get it working. Also I found the approach overly awkward. What is the proper way of doing this?

cheers,
Michael

You mean q-input, don’t you?

@s-molinari yes, sorry! It’s <q-input type="file" .../>
