Note
- onTouchTap is implmented by react-tap-event-plugin and is used in the amazing material-ui.
- I am using this with material-ui library and the default props for styles follows the material design pattern.
- The structure of file describing object is:
{
name: "IMG_20160813_102226.jpg",
type: "image/jpeg",
size: 645,
base64: "data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4SzyRXhpZgAATU0AKgA...",
file: File
