I am displaying a foto in the front using Leigh Halliday's Image Previews in React with FileReader from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPUgM1Ig4Po and everything is super BUT:
1.I want to get information from the image is displaying, exactly the base64 info, and have it then globally in my reactjs app.
2.for that reason I made a Context, i configured it ok BUT:
when I am doing dispatch inside a useEffect I want the image rendering and the info store in my variable globally
but I have one thing or another
if my image renders ok in my front, I can not obtain the value of my dispatch and viceversa
this is the code of my component:
import React, { useContext, useEffect, useRef, useState } from 'react'
import { AuthContext } from '../../auth/AuthContext'
import { types } from '../../types/types'
export const ButtonLoadFoto = () => {
const { dispatchFoto } = useContext(AuthContext)
const [image, setImage] = useState('')
const [preview, setPreview] = useState('')
const [status, setStatus] = useState(false)
useEffect(() => {
if (image) {
const reader = new FileReader()
reader.onloadend = () => {
setPreview(reader.result)
}
reader.readAsDataURL(image)
setStatus(true)
} else {
setPreview('')
}
}, [image])
// useEffect(() => {
// if (status) {
// dispatchFoto({
// type: types.foto,
// payload: {
// foto: preview.split(',')[1]
// }
// })
// }
// return () => setStatus(false)
// }, [preview])
const fileInputRef = useRef()
const handleRef = (e) => {
e.preventDefault()
fileInputRef.current.click()
}
const handleFile = (e) => {
const file = e.target.files[0]
if (file && file.type.substr(0, 5) === 'image') {
setImage(file)
}
}
return (
<div className='load-input '>
{
preview
?
(<img src={preview} alt='' onClick={() => setImage('')} />)
:
(<button
className='alert alert-danger'
onClick={handleRef}>
foto
</button>
)
}
< input
type='file'
style={{ display: 'none' }}
ref={fileInputRef}
accept='image/*'
onChange={handleFile}
/>
</div>
)
}
in the code above if you put away the comments we will have the information we want but the foto won t display at all
thanks all for your time , I really appreciate!
EDIT
this is the main component
import React, { useEffect, useReducer } from 'react'
import { AuthContext } from './auth/AuthContext'
import { fotoReducer } from './components/formScreen/fotoReducer'
import { AppRouter } from './routers/AppRouter'
const initImage = () => {
return { foto: '' }
}
export const CMI = () => {
const [foto, dispatchFoto] = useReducer(fotoReducer, {}, initImage)
return (
<div>
<AuthContext.Provider value={{
foto,
dispatchFoto
}}>
<AppRouter />
</AuthContext.Provider>
</div>
)
}
this is the componenent I use
import React, { useContext} from 'react'
import { ButtonLoadFoto } from '../components/formScreen/ButtonLoadFoto'
import { AuthContext } from '../auth/AuthContext'
export const FormScreen = () => {
const { foto } = useContext(AuthContext)
}
return (
<div>
<ButtonLoadFoto/>
</div>
)
as I said : if a render the image I can not have the information and viceversa... when I use dispatch I don t know I it brokes the image render
thanks in advance
