Handling Zipped File Uploads in Phoenix LiveView
Chris McCord presents a guide on enhancing file uploads in Phoenix LiveView by allowing users to upload entire directories as zipped files. The process involves utilizing the 'webkitdirectory' attribute for selecting directories, zipping files on the client-side using JSZip library, and uploading the zip to LiveView. The server then unpacks the zip archive, saving bandwidth and server resources. This approach streamlines uploading multiple files and nested directories, providing a seamless experience for both users and the server. However, McCord cautions about the potential risks of accepting user-controlled zip files and advises being mindful of possible security threats. The post further demonstrates implementing this feature, including custom JavaScript hook creation and LiveView code integration for file uploads management.
