Uploader
The Uploader is the processing and queuing engine for React-Uploady.
When files are handed to the Uploader, it will represent each file as a Batch Item and group them together in Batches.
This is for the most part internal to the uploading mechanism.
The Uploader fires Batch & BatchItem lifecycle events that can be registered to.
Some of these events also allow to cancel uploads dynamically.
_If you're looking to integrate file upload with your React app, you'd probably want to head over to the @rpldy/uploady README.
The best place to get started is at our: React-Uploady Documentation Website
Installation
#Yarn:
$ yarn add @rpldy/uploader
#NPM:
$ npm i @rpldy/uploader
Usage
When in React, you don't need to use this package directly. Uploady will take care of initialization and other aspects (ie: event registration) for you.
In case you want to create your own uploader instance, you can do it like so:
import createUploader, { UPLOADER_EVENTS } from "@rpldy/uploader";
const uploader = createUploader({
autoUpload: false,
grouped: true,
});
uploader.on(UPLOADER_EVENTS.ITEM_START, (item) => {
console.log(`item ${item.id} started uploading`);
});
uploader.add(myFile);

Uploader API
add
(files: UploadInfo | UploadInfo[], options?: ?UploadOptions) => void
The way to add file(s) to be uploaded. Second parameters allows to pass different options than
the ones the instance currently uses for this specific batch. These options will be merged with current instance options.
upload
() => void
For batches that were added with autoUpload = false, the upload method must be called for the files to begin uploading.
abort
(id?: string) => void
abort all files being uploaded or a single item by its ID
abortBatch
(id: string) => void
abort a specific batch by its ID
update
(options: UploadOptions) => UploaderType
options parameter will be merged with the instance's existing options
Returns the uploader instance
getOptions
() => CreateOptions
get the instance's upload options
clearPending
() => void
remove all batches that were added with autoUpload = false
and were not sent to upload yet.
on
OnAndOnceMethod
register an event handler
once
OnAndOnceMethod
register an event handler that will be called only once
off
OffMethod
unregister an existing event handler
registerExtension
(name: any, Object) => void
Extensions can only be registered by enhancers.
If registerExtension is called outside an enhancer, an error will be thrown
Name must be unique. If not, an error will be thrown
getExtension
(name: any) => ?Object_
Retrieve a registered extension by its name
Events
The Uploader will trigger for batch and batch-item lifecycle events.
Registering to handle events can be done using the uploader's on() and once() methods.
Unregistering can be done using off() or by the return value of both on() and once().
const batchAddHandler = (batch, options) => {};
const unregister = uploader.on(UPLOADER_EVENTS.BATCH_ADD, batchAddHandler);
unregister();
uploader.off(UPLOADER_EVENTS.BATCH_ADD, batchAddHandler);
UPLOADER_EVENTS.BATCH_ADD
Triggered when a new batch is added.
- Parameters: (batch, uploadOptions)
This event is cancellable
UPLOADER_EVENTS.BATCH_START
Triggered when batch items start uploading
- Parameters: (batch, uploadOptions)
This event is cancellable
UPLOADER_EVENTS.BATCH_PROGRESS
Triggered every time progress data is received from the upload request(s)
- Parameters: (batch, uploadOptions)
UPLOADER_EVENTS.BATCH_FINISH
Triggered when batch items finished uploading
- Parameters: (batch, uploadOptions)
UPLOADER_EVENTS.BATCH_CANCEL
Triggered in case batch was cancelled from BATCH_START event handler
- Parameters: (batch, uploadOptions)
UPLOADER_EVENTS.BATCH_ABORT
Triggered in case the batch was aborted
- Parameters: (batch, uploadOptions)
UPLOADER_EVENTS.BATCH_ERROR
Triggered in case the batch was failed with an error.
These errors will most likely occur due to invalid event handling.
For instance, by a handler (ex: BATCH_START) throwing an error.
- Parameters: (batch, uploadOptions)
UPLOADER_EVENTS.BATCH_FINALIZE
Triggered when all batch items have finished uploading or in case the batch was cancelled(abort) or had an error
- Parameters: (batch, uploadOptions)
UPLOADER_EVENTS.ITEM_START
Triggered when item starts uploading (just before)
For grouped uploads (multiple files in same xhr request) ITEM_START is triggered for each item separately
- Parameters: (item, uploadOptions)
This event is cancellable
UPLOADER_EVENTS.ITEM_FINISH
Triggered when item finished uploading successfully
- Parameters: (item, uploadOptions)
The server response can be accessed through the item's uploadResponse property and status code through uploadStatus
UPLOADER_EVENTS.ITEM_PROGRESS
Triggered every time progress data is received for this file upload
progress info is accessed through the item's "completed" (percentage) and "loaded" (bytes) properties.
UPLOADER_EVENTS.ITEM_CANCEL
Triggered in case item was cancelled from ITEM_START event handler
- Parameters: (item, uploadOptions)
UPLOADER_EVENTS.ITEM_ERROR
Triggered in case item upload failed
- Parameters: (item, uploadOptions)
The server response can be accessed through the item's uploadResponse property.
UPLOADER_EVENTS.ITEM_ABORT
Triggered in case abort was called
- Parameters: (item, uploadOptions)
UPLOADER_EVENTS.ITEM_FINALIZE
Triggered for item when uploading is done due to: finished, error, cancel or abort
Use this event if you want to handle the state of the item being done for any reason.
- Parameters: (item, uploadOptions)
UPLOADER_EVENTS.REQUEST_PRE_SEND
Triggered before a group of items is going to be uploaded
Group will contain a single item unless "grouped" option is set to true.
Handler receives the item(s) in the group and the upload options that were used.
The handler can change data inside the items and in the options by returning different data than received.
See this guide for more details.
- Parameters: (items, options)
This event is cancellable
UPLOADER_EVENTS.ALL_ABORT
Triggered when abort is called without an item id (abort all)
Cancellable Events
These are events that allow the client to cancel their respective upload object (batch or batch-item)
To cancel the upload, the handler must return (boolean) false.
uploader.on(UPLOADER_EVENTS.ITEM_START, (item) => {
let result;
if (item.file.name.endsWith(".xml")) {
result = false;
}
return result;
});
