The Image Overlay plugin will add a tiny 'eye' icon in front of the filename to allow opening the uploaded image in a large overlay. In case the Image Preview plugin is used, the preview itself will be made clickable as well.
Install using npm:
npm install filepond-plugin-image-overlay
Then import in your project:
import * as FilePond from 'filepond';
import FilePondPluginImageOverlay from 'filepond-plugin-image-overlay';
Also, don't forget to import the belonging styles:
import 'filepond-plugin-image-overlay/dist/filepond-plugin-image-overlay.css'
Register the plugin:
FilePond.registerPlugin(FilePondPluginImageOverlay);
Create a new FilePond instance as normal.
const pond = FilePond.create({
name: 'filepond'
});
// Add it to the DOM
document.body.appendChild(pond.element);
The functionality will become active when uploading an image.
The label of the image overlay icon can be adjusted as follows:
const pond = FilePond.create({
name: 'filepond',
labelButtonImageOverlay: 'custom label' // by default 'Open image in overlay file'
});
