File Upload Widget sample code

This blog post http://smalltalk.gnu.org/blog/nico/automatic-ajax-file-upload-iliad
shows a nice file upload widget. Is there sample code for this?  Or is
ILFileInputField the only thing around?

thanks, Jon

Hi Jon,

Something like this

e form input
    beFile;
    action: [:fileProxy | ....]

Would do the same thing :)

HTH,
Nico

Nico,
I'm making a little progress.  Can you help me understand why building
an upload widget means I have to have a "save" and "cancel" buttons to
go with the form?  What I'm looking for is just the file name field
and "browse" button.  Is this possible?

fyi, I'm new to iliad and pharo.  But I used to work with smalltalk
for 10 years (15 years ago).  So the language isn't a problem, but I
am stumbling around with the tools a bit ;).
thanks, Jon

This is because in my blog post I showed an example with Formula.
Formula is a tool to help you build validated forms:

Sure, but you'll have to submit the form at some point:

| form |
form := e form.
form input beFile; action: [:fileProxy | ....].
form button text: 'Submit'

If you really don't want a button to submit the form, you can use a
JavaScript event to submit the form:

| form |
form := e form.
form input
    beFile;
    action: [:fileProxy | ....];
    beSubmitOnChange

As a start, you can read the draft of the documentation. It far from
being complete, but it can be a good start:
http://doc.iliadproject.org
You can also download it as a pdf on the iliad website at

Cheers,
Nico
