How to reset/clear file Input

Question

I am stuck with this problem from resetting an image file from input type=file. This is the scenario, I set an image and then I clicked the 'Cancel' button (which means it was reset), and then I will set again the same image, it will not set. I do not know why but I think it is a bug.

Here is my code for resetting the image/form.

    resetImage () {
  this.$refs.addImageForm.reset()
  this.dialog = ''
  this.imgSrc = ''
  this.fileName = ''
  this.imgUrl = ''
  this.file = ''
}

I am using Vue.js and Vuetify if that helps. I hope you can help me. I am stuck with this problem

HERE IS THE HTML

    <template>
  <v-dialog
    persistent
    v-model="dialog"
    width="600"
  >
    <template v-slot:activator="{ on }">
      <v-btn depressed color="primary" v-on="on">

Answer 1

You can use ref for reset file uploader value.

this.$refs.fileupload.value=null;

Answer 2

I tried several suggestions I found on Stackoverflow, but in my project there were several errors. What solved my problem was:

<input type="file" ref="inputFile"/>

this.$refs.inputFile.reset();

This code above resets the field values.
