Uploader UI is customizable using a ng-template called file that gets the File instance as the implicit variable. Second ng-template named content can be used to place custom content inside the content section which would be useful to implement a user interface to manage the uploaded files such as removing them. This template gets the selected files as the implicit variable. Third and final ng-template option is toolbar to display custom content at toolbar.

<p-fileUpload name="myfile[]" url="https://www.primefaces.org/cdn/api/upload.php" [multiple]="true" accept="image/*" maxFileSize="1000000">
