Hi,

In UI5, I am trying to use FileUploader UI control.

I need to convert the file data to base64.

Could anyone help.

Regards,

Samad

You want to convert it, on backend or frontend?

If in backend, there are alot of FM to convert it.

If in frontend, you can on the event change of the fileuploader , read the fileuploader content like this:

 onChangeFileUploader : function(oEvt){
        var aFiles=oEvt.getParameters().files;
        var currentFile = aFiles[0];

Now with the file, use JS or JQuery to manipulate 🙂

Hello Cristian,

I have tried this, however, I get an error "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading '0')" on the line

"var currentFile = aFiles[0];

Could you please help me with this.
