Using the example code from the API, you can display a message to the user that they need to select a file:
export function button1_click(event, $w) {
if ($w("#uploadButton1").value.length > 0) {
$w("#text1").text = `Uploading ${$w("#uploadButton1").value[0].name}`;
$w("#uploadButton1").startUpload()
.then((uploadedFile) => {
$w("#text1").text = "Upload successful";
$w("#image1").src = uploadedFile.url;
})
.catch((uploadError) => {
$w("#text1").text = "File upload error";
console.log(`Error: ${uploadError.errorCode}`);
console.log(uploadError.errorDescription);
});
} else {
// display msg to user that no file was selected
$w("#text1").text = "Please choose a file to upload.";
}
}
