How can I upload a docx file to a page in REACT and display only the first page as an image?

edit

To achieve this, you can use a third-party library like react-file-reader to upload the docx file and then use a library like docx-to-image to convert the first page of the document into an image.

Here is an example of how to do this:

Install the required libraries:

npm install react-file-reader docx-to-image

Create a component that will handle the file upload and image display:

import React, { useState } from "react";
import FileReader from "react-file-reader";
import DocxToImage from "docx-to-image";

const FileUpload = () => {
  const [imageData, setImageData] = useState("");

  const handleFileUpload = async (file) => {
    const docxToImage = new DocxToImage();
    const imageData = await docxToImage.convertToImage(file, { index: 0 });
    setImageData(imageData);
  };

  return (
    <>
      <FileReader fileTypes={[".docx"]} handleFiles={handleFileUpload}>
        <button>Upload File</button>
      </FileReader>

      <img src={imageData} alt="First page of document" />
    </>
  );
};

export default FileUpload;

In this example, we use the FileReader component from react-file-reader to handle the file upload. We specify that we only want to allow docx files to be uploaded. When the file is uploaded, we pass it to the DocxToImage library to convert the first page of the document into an image. The image data is stored in state and rendered in an img tag.
