Usage

Step 1) Initialize the uploader plugin

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

// Get production-ready API keys from Upload.io
$.uploader.init({
  apiKey: "free"
});

Step 2) Display the Upload Widget

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

$(() => {
  $("button").uploader({
    onComplete: files => {
      if (files.length === 0) {
        console.log('No files selected.')
      } else {
        console.log('Files uploaded:');
        console.log(files.map(f => f.fileUrl));
      }
    }
  });
});

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

$(() => {
  $("div").uploader({
    dropzone: {
      width: "600px",
      height: "375px"
    },
    onUpdate: files => {
      if (files.length === 0) {
        console.log('No files selected.')
      } else {
        console.log('Files uploaded:');
        console.log(files.map(f => f.fileUrl));
      }
    }
  });
});

The Result

All callbacks receive an Array<UploadWidgetResult>:

{
  fileUrl: "https://upcdn.io/FW25...",   // URL to use when serving this file.
  filePath: "/uploads/example.jpg",      // File path (we recommend saving this to your database).

  editedFile: undefined,                 // Edited file (for image crops). Same structure as below.

  originalFile: {
    fileUrl: "https://upcdn.io/FW25...", // Uploaded file URL.
    filePath: "/uploads/example.jpg",    // Uploaded file path (relative to your raw file directory).
    accountId: "FW251aX",                // Upload.io account the file was uploaded to.
    originalFileName: "example.jpg",     // Original file name from the user's machine.
    file: { ... },                       // Original DOM file object from the <input> element.
    size: 12345,                         // File size in bytes.
    lastModified: 1663410542397,         // Epoch timestamp of when the file was uploaded or updated.
    mime: "image/jpeg",                  // File MIME type.
    metadata: {
      ...                                // User-provided JSON object.
    },
    tags: [
      "tag1",                            // User-provided & auto-generated tags.
      "tag2",
      ...
    ]
  }
}

Where are my files stored?

Uploader uses Upload.io as a file storage & file hosting backend.

Upload.io benefits developers with:

• Zero Setup (Start uploading in the next few minutes!)
• Pre-Integrated Storage (All you need is an Upload API key)
• Fast File Hosting (Worldwide CDN, 300 Nodes)
• Powerful Rules Engine (Rate Limiting, Traffic Limiting, IP Blacklisting, Expiring Links, etc)
• File Transformations (Image Resizing, Cropping, Optimization, etc)

🔧 Can I bring my own file storage?

Uploader's USP is to provide the fastest way to integrate end-to-end file uploads into a web app, while remaining customizable. As such, Uploader will always be closely integrated with the Upload.io platform, and there are currently no plans to support custom backends. You may, however, sync files from your Upload.io account to a custom storage target.
