Vue Tip // v-model on custom component input type="file"

Hi everyone. Let's get to the point. A few days ago I needed to use v-model in a component of my own that I needed to capture a file in an input of type file. After trying a bit, the solution was the following:

<template>

  <input type="file" @change="onChangeFile" name="file" />

</template>

<script>
  methods: {
    onChangeFile(event) {
      this.$emit('update:modelValue', event.target.files[0])
    }
</script>

//Your component made in Vue 3
<MyInputFileComponent v-model="file" />

This is the easiest way to use it. If you need to capture many files you just have to go through the list of files found in the e.target.files

I share this information in case there is anyone out there looking for a solution for this scenario. Happy dev.
