How can asynchronous validation be implemented on a uploaded file using React Dropzone and TypeScript?

edit

To implement asynchronous validation on an uploaded file using React Dropzone and TypeScript, you can do the following:

1. Set up the React Dropzone component and its associated props to handle uploaded files.

2. Create a validation function that takes in the uploaded file and checks if it meets certain criteria. This function should return a Promise that resolves to a boolean value indicating whether the file is valid or not.

3. In the onDropAccepted method provided by the React Dropzone component, loop through the uploaded files and call the validation function for each file.

4. If the validation function returns true for a file, you can add it to a list of accepted files. If it returns false, you can display an error message to the user.

5. If all files pass validation and are added to the accepted files list, you can then submit the files to the server for further processing.

Here's an example of how this can be implemented in TypeScript:

import React, { useState } from 'react';
import { useDropzone } from 'react-dropzone';

interface IFile {
  name: string;
  size: number;
  type: string;
}

const isValidFile = (file: IFile): Promise<boolean> => {
  // TODO: implement your validation logic here
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    if (file.size > 10000000) {
      reject(false);
    } else {
      resolve(true);
    }
  });
};

const UploadFiles = () => {
  const [acceptedFiles, setAcceptedFiles] = useState<IFile[]>([]);
  const [rejectedFiles, setRejectedFiles] = useState<IFile[]>([]);

  const onDropAccepted = async (files: IFile[]) => {
    const validFiles: IFile[] = [];

    for (const file of files) {
      try {
        const isValid = await isValidFile(file);
        if (isValid) {
          validFiles.push(file);
        } else {
          setRejectedFiles([...rejectedFiles, file]);
        }
      } catch (error) {
        console.error(error);
      }
    }

    setAcceptedFiles([...acceptedFiles, ...validFiles]);
  };

  const { getRootProps, getInputProps, isDragActive } = useDropzone({ onDropAccepted });

  return (
    <>
      <div {...getRootProps()}>
        <input {...getInputProps()} />
        {isDragActive ? (
          <p>Drop the files here ...</p>
        ) : (
          <p>Drag and drop some files here, or click to select files</p>
        )}
      </div>
      {acceptedFiles.map((file) => (
        <div key={file.name}>
          <p>{file.name}</p>
        </div>
      ))}
      {rejectedFiles.map((file) => (
        <div key={file.name}>
          <p>{file.name} is not a valid file</p>
        </div>
      ))}
    </>
  );
};

export default UploadFiles;

In this example, the isValidFile function checks if the size of the uploaded file is greater than 10MB. If it is, it rejects the Promise and returns false.

In the onDropAccepted method, we loop through the uploaded files and call isValidFile for each file using await. If the function returns true, we add the file to the validFiles list, otherwise we add it to the rejectedFiles list.

Finally, we render the acceptedFiles and rejectedFiles lists to show the user which files were accepted and which were rejected.
