Advanced Media Uploader

A complete media field — a Quasar-based extension, built from Quasar controls and driven by one ivue class, showing how ivue works WITH an existing UI framework: drag-and-drop or picked uploads, per-file rows with inline rename, a lightbox preview dialog, download and delete, and — missing from Quasar's stock uploader — preexisting media: hand the field bare server ids and it hydrates the rows itself. Extracted from a production application built on ivue, with the app's service layer swapped for the playground's ServerApi. In the playground the bytes land in your browser's IndexedDB with canvas-generated thumbnails; against the reference server the same component uploads to disk or S3 with sharp-generated thumbnails.

Open in StackBlitz ⚡ — boots the playground on this example's route with the class open.

The performance story

MediaField.ts derives 28 values through plain getters and zero computed()s — tile URLs, human-readable sizes, capacity checks, accept-list parsing, all at zero bytes per instance. The extension class adds one computed() (sortedFiles) because a whole-list sort deserves a memo. A component this rich, with a reactive footprint this small, is the argument the performance page makes in numbers.

Extension, two mechanisms at once

ExtendedMediaField is the showcase the base component was built for:

  • Extend the class$ExtendedMediaField extends MediaField.$Class adds sort-by-name/newest, image dimensions (read via createImageBitmap on upload), captions persisted through the backend, copy-URL, and a total-size summary. The base SFC accepts the child class through its runner prop.
  • Inject templates — the base template exposes before--/after-- slots at the header, tiles and actions; the extended variant decorates them without duplicating a line of the base template.

Inheritance in ivue is native-JS inheritance — super, overridden getters, all of it (Inheritance & super) — so "variant of a complex component" is a subclass, not a fork.

What to notice in the playground

  • The preexisting-media section starts full. Its model is three bare ids; the field fetched the rows from the backend on its own — the attach-existing-documents flow every real app needs and stock QUploader cannot express.
  • Drop several images at once — each uploads through ServerApi, thumbnails appear as the backend responds.
  • Click a tile for the lightbox: prev/next, name, size, download.
  • Rename inline; the change persists through the backend.
  • The extended variant shows dimensions badges, captions and the size summary — same base template, one subclass.

The source

ts
// MediaField.ts — the Advanced Media Uploader engine class.
//
// Derivation budget: 28 PLAIN getters (0 bytes/instance, reactive via leaf
// tracking) and 0 computed() in this class. No derivation here is expensive
// enough to earn the ~300 bytes/instance a computed costs — each one is a
// cheap expression over already-cached state or props. The one computed
// that DOES earn it lives in ExtendedMediaField (a whole-list sort, cached
// so a render doesn't re-sort per read).

// via createImageBitmap and shown as a badge, a caption editor, copy-URL
// with feedback, and a total-size summary.
//
// Derivation budget: 7 plain getters (0 bytes/instance) and 1 computed() —
// `sortedFiles`. That one earns its ~300 bytes: it re-sorts the WHOLE list,
// and `displayFiles` is read many times per render (once per grid item
// binding), so the cached cell suppresses the repeated O(n log n) work.

The backend path

Uploads flow through ServerApi.media.* — mock in the browser, or the TypeScript Express reference server with two storage drivers: storage-disk.ts (plain files under ./uploads, zero external services) and storage-s3.ts (private bucket, presigned GET redirects, server-side sharp thumbnails). Both implement the same contract, so the component never knows which one it's talking to.
