File / directory select?

[Zyme]

I am using quasar with webpack and I want the user to select a file or a directory locally and then save that path to the app settings.

I can only find the Uploader component, but I don’t want to upload anything, since it already exists on disk.

Is there an easy way to trigger the file selection component? Maybe with a QBtn?

I see the <q-input> supports type=“file” but it looks terrible. The button is not styled etc.

Figured it out:

<template>
  <main>
    <q-field helper="Path to data store">
    
      <q-input clearable v-model="settings.data_path" stack-label="Data storage" />
      
      <input type="file" id="dataPath" v-on:change="setDataPath" ref="fileInput" hidden />

    </q-field>
    <q-btn color="primary" v-on:click="selectPath">Set data path</q-btn>
  </main>
</template>

…

methods: {
      selectPath () {
        console.log('Selecting path for data store')

        this.$refs.fileInput.click()
      },

      setDataPath (file) {
        this.settings.data_path = file.target.files[0].path
      }
    }

I’m finding this. Thanks a lot. @Zyme
