Required Validator with AutoUpload = False

[n/a]

I have autoupload = false, multiple=false and my own custom upload button that calls the uploadfiles method.

I am trying to use kendo reactive forms validation.  However, the validator appears to consider the kendo upload empty/not set if the file has not been uploaded to the server.   

How do I check that a file has been selected prior to calling uploadfiles?

[n/a]

Not sure if this is the best way but I just used the event handlers to flag if a file is selected.  Would be nice if the list of selected files was exposed.

 

selectEventHandler(e: SelectEvent) {
  this.fileSelected = true;
}


clearEventHandler(e: ClearEvent) {
  this.fileSelected = false;
}

Hi John,


Indeed the default Upload component validation is triggered only for successfully uploaded files. In the current case we could define a custom Angular validator that checks a boolean flag indicating whether a file is selected. Similarly to the currently used approach.
