## Upload

Upload files by clicking or drag-and-drop

### Click to upload files

:::demo Customize upload button type and text using `slot`. Set `limit` and `on-exceed` to limit the maximum number of uploads allowed and specify method when the limit is exceeded. Plus, you can abort removing a file in the `before-remove` hook.

```html
<el-upload
  class="upload-demo"
  action="https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/"
  :on-preview="handlePreview"
  :on-remove="handleRemove"
  :before-remove="beforeRemove"
  multiple
  :limit="3"
  :on-exceed="handleExceed"
  :file-list="fileList"
>
  <el-button size="small" type="primary">Click to upload</el-button>
  <template #tip>
    <div class="el-upload__tip">jpg/png files with a size less than 500kb</div>
  </template>
</el-upload>
<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        fileList: [
          {
            name: 'food.jpeg',
            url: 'https://fuss10.elemecdn.com/3/63/4e7f3a15429bfda99bce42a18cdd1jpeg.jpeg?imageMogr2/thumbnail/360x360/format/webp/quality/100',
          },
          {
            name: 'food2.jpeg',
            url: 'https://fuss10.elemecdn.com/3/63/4e7f3a15429bfda99bce42a18cdd1jpeg.jpeg?imageMogr2/thumbnail/360x360/format/webp/quality/100',
          },
        ],
      }
    },
    methods: {
      handleRemove(file, fileList) {
        console.log(file, fileList)
      },
      handlePreview(file) {
        console.log(file)
      },
      handleExceed(files, fileList) {
        this.$message.warning(
          `The limit is 3, you selected ${
            files.length
          } files this time, add up to ${
            files.length + fileList.length
          } totally`
        )
      },
      beforeRemove(file, fileList) {
        return this.$confirm(`Cancel the transfert of ${file.name} ?`)
      },
    },
  }
</script>
```

  :show-file-list="false"
  :on-success="handleAvatarSuccess"
  :before-upload="beforeAvatarUpload"
>
  <img v-if="imageUrl" :src="imageUrl" class="avatar" />
  <i v-else class="el-icon-plus avatar-uploader-icon"></i>

    border-radius: 6px;
    cursor: pointer;

        imageUrl: '',
      }
    },
    methods: {
      handleAvatarSuccess(res, file) {
        this.imageUrl = URL.createObjectURL(file.raw)
      },
      beforeAvatarUpload(file) {
        const isJPG = file.type === 'image/jpeg'
        const isLt2M = file.size / 1024 / 1024 < 2

        if (!isJPG) {
          this.$message.error('Avatar picture must be JPG format!')
        }
        if (!isLt2M) {
          this.$message.error('Avatar picture size can not exceed 2MB!')
        }
        return isJPG && isLt2M
      },
