import { useObjectUrl } from '@vueuse/core'
import { shallowRef } from 'vue'

const file = shallowRef()
const url = useObjectUrl(file)

function onFileChange(event) {
  file.value = event.target.files[0]
}
</script>

<template>
  <input type="file" @change="onFileChange">

  <a :href="url">Open file</a>
</template>
