// plugins/vuetify.js
import Vue from 'vue'
import Vuetify from 'vuetify/lib'
import { Ripple } from 'vuetify/lib/directives'

Vue.use(Vuetify, {
  // other stuff
  directives: {
    Ripple
  }
})

Usage

Once installed, it can be used in a template as simply as:

Simple Upload button

<upload-btn></upload-btn>

Upon file change, the Upload Button component emit a file-update event with the file or files as the argument, see the following example:

<template>
  <upload-btn
    @file-update="update"
  >

  </upload-btn>
</template>

<script>
  import UploadButton from 'vuetify-upload-button'

  export default {
    methods: {
      update (file) {
        // handle file here. File will be an object.
        // If multiple prop is true, it will return an object array of files.
      }
    },
    components: {
      'upload-btn': UploadButton
    }
  }
</script>

Button with icon. The 'icon' slot defaults to the right:

<upload-btn
  title="Button With Icon"
>
  <template slot="icon">
    <v-icon>add</v-icon>
  </template>
</upload-btn>

Button with left icon:

<upload-btn
  title="Button With Icon"
>
  <template slot="icon-left">
    <v-icon left>add</v-icon>
  </template>
</upload-btn>

Button as icon

<upload-btn icon>
  <template slot="icon">
    <v-icon>add</v-icon>
  </template>
</upload-btn>
