Add a download action to the Upload component.

This feels like an obvious requirement, but maybe I'm missing something. We're using the Upload component allowing users to upload files to be later referenced and accessed. Would it be possible to add configuration options to display a download icon and hook up an onDownload handler, next to each uploaded file, like it currently does for the "remove" operation? I appreciate you can create a custom UI for the whole component, but then we lose the built-in functionality.    

Thank you.

Hello, James,

Thank you for getting back to me with more information.

Yes, definitely. This will make it easier to customize the component. The status of this feature request will be directly updated when we add an article or demo for this implementation.

Thanks Wissam,

I am aware of the "custom rendering" approach, I mentioned it in my ticket. I'm happy with how the built-in UI renders, I just want to be able to add to it. Having to build the UI again (including event hookups) from scratch, to include additional functionality, is a pain.

Could I please request/recommend that documentation be added that would explain how to recreate the OOTB UI so we can then use that as a starting point for adding slight changes. 

Many thanks.

Hello, James,

Thank you so much for your feedback, and for this feature request. We will be monitoring it closely.

In the meantime, this can be achieved using the listItemUI property that allows custom rendering the uploaded files adding the required functionalities such as the `remove` and `download` buttons:

In addition, I updated your Telerik Points accordingly as a small token of gratitude for your report.
