Installation

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add https://diceui.com/r/radix-vega/file-upload-chat-input-demo.json

Usage

usage.tsx
import FileUploadChatInputDemo from "./file-upload-chat-input-demo";export default function Example() {  return <FileUploadChatInputDemo />;}
  • Use for chat, messaging, support, and AI assistant interfaces that accept optional file attachments.
  • Use when users need to compose multiline messages while reviewing upload previews before sending.
  • Use for demos or prototypes where upload behavior can be simulated with client-side progress callbacks.

Examples

AI assistant composer

Place the composer below an assistant conversation to support prompts with optional file attachments.

ai-assistant-composer.tsx
import FileUploadChatInputDemo from "./file-upload-chat-input-demo";export default function AssistantComposer() {  return (    <main className="mx-auto flex min-h-screen w-full max-w-2xl items-end p-6">      <FileUploadChatInputDemo />    </main>  );}

Support chat panel

Use the same self-contained composer at the bottom of a customer support conversation.

support-chat-panel.tsx
import FileUploadChatInputDemo from "./file-upload-chat-input-demo";export default function SupportChat() {  return (    <section className="flex min-h-[520px] flex-col justify-end rounded-lg border bg-muted/30 p-4">      <FileUploadChatInputDemo />    </section>  );}

Embedded message composer

Embed the demo in a constrained card or messaging workspace.

embedded-message-composer.tsx
import FileUploadChatInputDemo from "./file-upload-chat-input-demo";export default function MessageWorkspace() {  return (    <div className="w-full max-w-xl rounded-xl bg-background p-2 shadow-sm">      <FileUploadChatInputDemo />    </div>  );}

Accessibility

  • The attachment and send buttons include visually hidden text labels: “Attach file” and “Send message”.
  • The main text entry uses a native textarea, preserving keyboard input and form semantics.
  • The composer uses a native form and submit button, allowing Enter-based form submission according to the textarea and browser behavior.
  • The drag-and-drop overlay is assigned tabIndex={-1} and prevents click activation, so it does not create an additional keyboard focus target.
  • Upload controls and the textarea are disabled while uploads are in progress.
  • Rejected-file feedback is announced through the Sonner toast mechanism; ensure the application renders a Sonner Toaster.
  • The demo does not provide a visible label for the textarea; add an accessible label or aria-label when the surrounding context does not clearly identify the composer.
