ngx-custom-material-file-input

This project is a copy of ngx-material-file-input, this was made from angular 14 as a new project, only what was necessary was added and is already updated.

Library Version	Angular Version
1.0.0	14.0.0
2.0.0	15.0.0
3.0.0	16.0.0
4.0.0	17.0.0
18.0.0	18.0.0

From now on, the package version will be the same as the Angular version so I don't have to update the table all the time.

• Latest version is using Angular 19

material-file-input

This project provides :

• ngx-mat-file-input component, to use inside Angular Material mat-form-field
• a FileValidator with acceptedMimeTypes, to limit the format types using the mime types
• a FileValidator with maxContentSize, to limit the file size
• a ByteFormatPipe to format the file size in a human-readable format
• a previewUrls to receive the images/file as a url to show in a preview

For more code samples, have a look at the DEMO SITE or in the release notes.
