# DevExtreme FileUploader in DataGrid Edit Form - 25.1.3+ Migration
2+
3+
This project demonstrates the implementation of DevExtreme FileUploader within DataGrid edit forms across multiple frameworks, migrated to use modern development patterns and DevExtreme 25.1.3+.
4+
5+
## Overview
6+
7+
The example shows how to integrate file upload functionality into DataGrid's edit form, allowing users to upload employee photos through a dedicated FileUploader component. The implementation includes image preview, error handling, and retry functionality.

68+
## Key Implementation Features
69+
70+
### Common Functionality Across All Frameworks

75+
5. **Responsive Design**: Modern CSS layouts that work across devices
76+
6. **Accessibility**: Proper alt attributes and semantic HTML structure
77+
78+
### Framework-Specific Modernizations
79+
80+
#### React
81+
- Used modern `DataGridTypes` instead of legacy imports
82+
- Implemented proper component composition with memo and useCallback
83+
- Added comprehensive TypeScript typing for all props and events
84+
- Used modern refs pattern with useRef<ComponentRef>
85+
86+
#### Vue.js
87+
- Migrated from Options API to Composition API
88+
- Used reactive refs with proper TypeScript inference
89+
- Implemented higher-order functions for event handlers
90+
- Added proper template ref typing
91+
92+
#### jQuery
93+
- Modernized with ES6+ syntax (const/let, arrow functions, template literals)
94+
- Added JSDoc documentation for all functions
95+
- Implemented modular state management object
96+
- Used modern DOM manipulation methods
97+
98+
## Backend Configuration
99+
100+
All implementations use a consistent backend URL configuration:
101+
- **Default URL**: `http://localhost:5020/`
102+
- **Upload endpoint**: `FileUpload/post`
103+
- **Image serving**: Static file serving for `images/employees/` directory
104+
105+

## Next Steps
159+
160+
1. **Angular Resolution**: Address the native build issues by either:
161+
- Updating to compatible Node.js version
162+
- Using yarn instead of npm
163+
- Working with DevExpress to update dependencies
164+
165+
2. **Backend Setup**: Set up the .NET backend for complete file upload functionality
166+
167+
3. **Testing**: Add unit tests for each framework implementation
168+
169+
4. **Documentation**: Create detailed API documentation for each component
170+
171+
## Migration Benefits
172+
173+
- **Modern TypeScript**: Full type safety across React and Vue implementations
174+
- **Better Error Handling**: Comprehensive error states and retry mechanisms
175+
- **Improved Performance**: Modern React hooks and Vue Composition API patterns
176+
- **Maintainability**: Modular code structure with proper separation of concerns
