File Input

[oss92]

Extending the Input to include file uploading would be nice.

What I get now is a warning Failed propType: Invalid proptypeof valuefilesupplied toInput, expected one of ["text","email","url","tel","password"].

Perhaps this could help (Dropify) or this Codepen sample

@oss92 Apologies for the late reply! I've been traveling this past week.

Our goal is to keep the core MUI library as lightweight as possible and support other components via a plugin system. We haven't started working the plugin system yet but if this is something you'd like to look into, let me know.

But since it already includes ["text","email","url","tel","password"], doesn't it make sense to only include also file?

Anyways the plugin system sounds good too. Thanks for your reply! 👍

No prob! Adding "file" to the list would imply that the MUI <Input> component supports file uploading. To use the browser's built-in file upload component you can ignore the MUI component and use the native <input type="file"> element instead.
