Installation

npm install --save react-dropzone-uploader

Import default styles in your app.

1import 'react-dropzone-uploader/dist/styles.css'

Quick Start

RDU handles common use cases with almost no config. The following code gives you a dropzone and clickable file input that accepts image, audio and video files. It uploads files to https://httpbin.org/post, and renders a button to submit files that are done uploading. Check out a live demo.

1import 'react-dropzone-uploader/dist/styles.css'
2import Dropzone from 'react-dropzone-uploader'
3
4const MyUploader = () => {
5  // specify upload params and url for your files
6  const getUploadParams = ({ meta }) => { return { url: 'https://httpbin.org/post' } }
7  
8  // called every time a file's `status` changes
9  const handleChangeStatus = ({ meta, file }, status) => { console.log(status, meta, file) }
10  
11  // receives array of files that are done uploading when submit button is clicked
12  const handleSubmit = (files) => { console.log(files.map(f => f.meta)) }
13
14  return (
15    <Dropzone
16      getUploadParams={getUploadParams}
17      onChangeStatus={handleChangeStatus}
18      onSubmit={handleSubmit}
19      accept="image/*,audio/*,video/*"
20    />
21  )

Contributing

There are a number of places RDU could be improved; see here.

For example, RDU has solid core functionality, but has a minimalist look and feel. It would be more beginner-friendly with a larger variety of built-in components.
