Events

  • change: emitted on (successful) picture change (prefill excluded). The image is passed along with the event as a Base64 Data URI string. If you need to access the underlying image from the parent component, add a ref attribute to picture-input (see the example above). You may want to use this.$refs.pictureInput.image (Base64 Data URI string) or this.$refs.pictureInput.file (File Object)
  • prefill: emitted on default image prefill.
  • remove: emitted on picture remove.
  • click: emitted on picture click.
  • error: emitted on error, along with an object with type, message, and optional additional parameters.

TODOs

  • Client-side resizing and cropping
  • Add tests
