Advanced Usage

_The props rememberPreviousBatches, previewMethodsRef, and onPreviewsChanged make it possible to do more with previews. Specifically, the make it possible to create a visual queue of the uploads.

This is especially useful when adding other features such as abort and retry.

The code below shows how to clear the previews with a button click:

import React from "react";
import Uploady from "@rpldy/uploady";
import UploadPreview from "@rpldy/upload-preview";
import UploadButton from "@rpldy/upload-button";

const PreviewsWithClear = () => {
	const previewMethodsRef = useRef();
	const [previews, setPreviews] = useState([]);

	const onPreviewsChanged = useCallback((previews) => {
		setPreviews(previews);
	}, []);

	const onClear = useCallback(() => {
		if (previewMethodsRef.current?.clear) {
			previewMethodsRef.current.clear();
		}
	}, [previewMethodsRef]);

	return <>
		<button onClick={onClear}>
            Clear {previews.length} previews
        </button>
		<br/>		
        <UploadPreview
            rememberPreviousBatches            
            previewMethodsRef={previewMethodsRef}
            onPreviewsChanged={onPreviewsChanged}
        />            		
	</>;
};

export const App = () => {	
	return <Uploady destination={{ url: "my-server.com/upload" }}>
		<UploadButton />
		<PreviewsWithClear />
	</Uploady>;
};
