Max 300KB'); return; } setError(''); const reader = new FileReader(); reader.onload = () => setSrc(String(reader.result || '')); reader.readAsDataURL(file); } return ( <div style={{ padding: 16, width: 560 }}> <h2 style={{ marginTop: 0 }}>meetcode avatar</h2> <input type='file' accept='image/*' onChange={onFile} /> {error ? <div style={{ marginTop: 10, color: '#c1121f' }}>{error}</div> : null} {src ? <img src={src} alt='Preview' style={{ marginTop: 12, width: 160, height: 160, objectFit: 'cover', borderRadius: '50%', border: '1px solid #eee' }} /> : <div style={{ marginTop: 12, color: '#555' }}>No image selected.</div>} </div> ); }
