```

### Field.Upload path

```tsx
render(
  <Form.Handler
    data={{
      myPath: [
        {
          file: createMockFile('fileName-1.png', 1000000, 'image/png'),
          exists: false,
          id: '1',
        },
        {
          file: createMockFile('fileName-2.png', 3000000, 'image/png'),
          exists: false,
          id: '2',
        },
        {
          file: createMockFile('fileName-3.png', 3000000, 'image/png'),
          exists: false,
          id: '3',
        },
      ],
    }}
  >
    <Flex.Stack>
      <Field.Upload label="My selections" path="/myPath" />
      <Value.Upload
        inheritLabel
        path="/myPath"
        variant="ul"
        listType="unstyled"
      />
    </Flex.Stack>
  </Form.Handler>
)
```

### Using `onFileClick`

```tsx
render(
  <Value.Upload
    label="Label text"
    value={[
      {
        file: createMockFile('35217511.jpg', 1000000, 'image/png'),
        exists: false,
        id: '1',
      },
      {
        file: createMockFile('1501870.jpg', 2000000, 'image/png'),
        exists: false,
        id: '2',
      },
    ]}
    onFileClick={async ({ fileItem }) => {
      const request = createRequest()
      console.log(
        `making API request to fetch the url of the file: ${fileItem.file.name}`
      )
      await request(2000) // Simulate a request
      window.open(
        `https://eufemia.dnb.no/images/avatars/${fileItem.file.name}`,
        '_blank'
      )
    }}
  />
)
```

### Display files as non-clickable

When file size is 0 or not given (`new File([], name, { type })`), the file is displayed as a span instead of an anchor. However, when `onFileClick` is given, the file will be clickable as a button.

```tsx
render(
  <Value.Upload
    label="Label text"
    value={[
      {
        file: createMockFile('35217511.jpg', 0, 'image/png'),
        exists: false,
        id: '1',
      },
      {
        file: createMockFile('1501870.jpg', undefined, 'image/png'),
        exists: false,
        id: '2',
      },
    ]}
  />
)
```

```tsx
render(
  <Value.Upload
    onFileClick={() => {
      console.log('Clicked on file')
    }}
    label="Label text"
    value={[
      {
        file: createMockFile('fileName-1.png', 1000000, 'image/png'),
        exists: false,
        id: '1',
      },
      {
        file: createMockFile('fileName-2.png', 2000000, 'image/png'),
        exists: false,
        isLoading: true,
        id: '2',
      },
    ]}
  />
)
```

```tsx
<Value.Upload
  onFileClick={() => {
    console.log('Clicked on file')
  }}
  value={[
    {
      file: createMockFile('fileName-1.png', 1000000, 'image/png'),
      exists: false,
      isLoading: true,
      id: '1',
    },
    {
      file: createMockFile('fileName-2.png', 2000000, 'image/png'),
      exists: false,
      id: '2',
    },
    {
      file: createMockFile('fileName-3.png', 3000000, 'image/png'),
      exists: false,
      id: '3',
    },
  ]}
  label="Ordered List"
  variant="ol"
/>
<Value.Upload
  onFileClick={() => {
    console.log('Clicked on file')
  }}
  value={[
    {
      file: createMockFile('fileName-1.png', 1000000, 'image/png'),
      exists: false,
      id: '1',
    },
    {
      file: createMockFile('fileName-2.png', 2000000, 'image/png'),
      exists: false,
      id: '2',
      isLoading: true,
    },
    {
      file: createMockFile('fileName-3.png', 3000000, 'image/png'),
      exists: false,
      id: '3',
      isLoading: true,
    },
  ]}
  label="Unordered List"
  variant="ul"
/>
```
