Usage

Step 1) Initialize the uploader plugin

Call this once only — at the start of your app — before calling $(x).uploader().

1// Get production-ready API keys from Bytescale
2$.uploader.init({
3  apiKey: "free"
4});

Step 2) Display the Upload Widget

To display a file upload dialog on click — Try on CodePen

1$(() => {
2  $("button").uploader({
3    onComplete: files => {
4      if (files.length === 0) {
5        console.log('No files selected.')
6      } else {
7        console.log('Files uploaded:');
8        console.log(files.map(f => f.fileUrl));
9      }
10    }
11  });
12});

To display a file upload dropzone inline on the page — Try on CodePen

1$(() => {
2  $("div").uploader({
3    dropzone: {
4      width: "600px",
5      height: "375px"
6    },
7    onUpdate: files => {
8      if (files.length === 0) {
9        console.log('No files selected.')
10      } else {
11        console.log('Files uploaded:');
12        console.log(files.map(f => f.fileUrl));
13      }
14    }
15  });
16});

The Result

All callbacks receive an Array<UploadWidgetResult>:

1{
2  fileUrl: "https://upcdn.io/FW25...",   // URL to use when serving this file.
3  filePath: "/uploads/example.jpg",      // File path (we recommend saving this to your database).
4
5  editedFile: undefined,                 // Edited file (for image crops). Same structure as below.
6
7  originalFile: {
8    fileUrl: "https://upcdn.io/FW25...", // Uploaded file URL.
9    filePath: "/uploads/example.jpg",    // Uploaded file path (relative to your raw file directory).
10    accountId: "FW251aX",                // Bytescale account the file was uploaded to.
11    originalFileName: "example.jpg",     // Original file name from the user's machine.
12    file: { ... },                       // Original DOM file object from the <input> element.
13    size: 12345,                         // File size in bytes.
14    lastModified: 1663410542397,         // Epoch timestamp of when the file was uploaded or updated.
15    mime: "image/jpeg",                  // File MIME type.
16    metadata: {
17      ...                                // User-provided JSON object.
18    },
19    tags: [
20      "tag1",                            // User-provided & auto-generated tags.
21      "tag2",
22      ...
23    ]
