Browsing file for uploads

I have the following code:

<ion-item>
    <ion-label floating>File</ion-label>
    <ion-input type="file"></ion-input>
  </ion-item>

Using the above code does not show the browse button for file selection. Am I missing something here? How do I make it show?

That’s late for answering but ion-input does not support non-text type according to document.
