Description

I have a case in which i upload an image with react-s3-uploader. Then the users deletes it. And wants to reupload same photo.

The input field does not detect a change if the same file is selected.

The fix i used is the following:

this.uploadInput.value=null where uploadInput if the ref to the react component.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Resetting the file input value after upload or deletion allows re uploading the same file. Use a ref to the input element and set its value to null after processing.
