I think in your case you are looking for a solution like this

example: uploading a image and previewing it before submission

<template>
   <div>
      <img src:"previewImage" class="uploading-image" />
      <input type="file" accept="image/jpeg" @change=uploadImage>
   </div>
</template>

<script>
    export default {
        name:'imageUpload',
        data(){
            return{
               previewImage:null
            }
        },
        methods:{
            uploadImage(e){
                const image = e.target.files[0];
                const reader = new FileReader();
                reader.readAsDataURL(image);
                reader.onload = e =>{
                    this.previewImage = e.target.result;
                    console.log(this.previewImage);
                };
            }
        }
     }  // missing closure added
</script>



<style>
   .uploading-image{
     display:flex;
   }
 </style>

If you are using axios or fetch uploading files with vue is pretty easy.

This is a copy/pasta from my current project. I use axios to upload images:

First you'll need to have your input look like this:

<input type="file" accept="image/*" @change="uploadImage($event)" id="file-input">

Then add a method like this:

methods: {

  uploadImage(event) {

    const URL = 'http://foobar.com/upload'; 

    let data = new FormData();
    data.append('name', 'my-picture');
    data.append('file', event.target.files[0]); 

    let config = {
      header : {
        'Content-Type' : 'image/png'
      }
    }

    axios.put(
      URL, 
      data,
      config
    ).then(
      response => {
        console.log('image upload response > ', response)
      }
    )
  }
}

If you want to upload an image and preview it before submission you can use simple and functional way as optionally.

<template>
  <input type="file" accept="image/*" @change="onChange" />
  <div id="preview">
    <img v-if="item.imageUrl" :src="item.imageUrl" />
  </div>
</template>


<script>
export default {
  name: 'imageUpload',
  data() {
    return {
      item:{
          //...
          image : null
          imageUrl: null
      }
    }
  },
  methods: {
    onChange(e) {
      const file = e.target.files[0]
      this.image = file
      this.item.imageUrl = URL.createObjectURL(file)
    }
  }
} 
</script>

I'm taking from a few other peoples answers to sum it up.

this.image is base64 encoded and ready to send to your API.

<template>
    <v-file-input
       v-model="file"
       chips
       accept="image/*"
       label="Image"
       @change="onFileChange"
    />
</template>

<script>
export default {
    data: { file: null, image: null },
    methods: {
        onFileChange() {
            const reader = new FileReader()
            reader.readAsDataURL(this.file)
            reader.onload = e => {
                this.image = e.target.result
                console.log(this.image)
            }
        },
    },
}
</script>
