How can I implement file upload in Vue.js using Axios?

You can use the Axios library to handle file uploads in Vue.js. First, ensure you have Axios installed in your project.

What are the steps to set up Axios for file uploads?

1. Install Axios using npm or yarn. 2. Create a form in your Vue component. 3. Use a method to handle the file input and send it via Axios.

Can you show me a code example?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

<template>
  <input type="file" @change="onFileChange" />
  <button @click="uploadFile">Upload</button>
</template>

<script>
import axios from 'axios';
export default {
  data() {
    return { file: null };
  },
  methods: {
    onFileChange(event) {
      this.file = event.target.files[0];
    },
    uploadFile() {
      const formData = new FormData();
      formData.append('file', this.file);
      axios.post('/upload', formData)
        .then(response => {
          console.log('File uploaded successfully:', response.data);
        })
        .catch(error => {
          console.error('Error uploading file:', error);
        });
    }
  }
};

This code allows users to select a file and upload it.

What backend should I use to handle the file upload?

You can use any backend technology like Node.js, Python (Flask/Django), or PHP. Just ensure it can handle multipart/form-data.
