This PR fixes an issue where the
<Label>
component didn't open the<input type="file">
when clicking it.For native elements, the
Label
component already renders a native<label>
behind the scenes. Some native elements like<input type="checkbox">
immediately change the state of the element whereas some other elements don't such as<select></select>
you just get the focus.However,
<input type="file">
should also immediately open the file picker when clicking the label and this was not the case. This PR fixes that.Since we are already using a native
<label>
and linking the<label>
with its<input type="file">
performing a.click()
is allowed.Fixes: #3680
