var ReactFilestack = require('filestack-react');

import ReactFilestack from 'filestack-react';

Import with filestack-js client

import ReactFilestack, { client } from 'filestack-react';

client is available from version 1.3.4

Usage

You should register Filestack website and get an API key first!

1. Custom Designed button

<ReactFilestack
  apikey={YOUR_API_KEY}
  buttonText="Click me"
  buttonClass="classname"
  options={options}
  onSuccess={this.yourCallbackFunction}
/>

2. Custom render

<ReactFilestack
  apikey={apikey}
  options={options}
  onSuccess={onSuccess}
  onError={onError}
  render={({ onPick }) => (
    <div>
      <strong>Find an avatar</strong>
      <button onClick={onPick}>Pick</button>
    </div>
  )}
/>

3. Other modes

<ReactFilestack
  apikey={YOUR_API_KEY}
  mode="upload"
  options={options}
  onSuccess={onSuccess}
/>

Available modes:

• upload
• transform
• retrieve
• storeUrl
• metadata
• remove

Define your own options object and callback function, connect them to the component and get the result from Filestack:

const options = {
  accept: 'image/*',
  maxFiles: 5,
  storeTo: {
    location: 's3',
  },
};

onSuccess(result) {
  // handle result here
}

Do you prefer a link instead of a button?

You can pass a custom prop link.

<ReactFilestack
  apikey={YOUR_API_KEY}
  options={options}
  onSuccess={this.yourCallbackFunction}
  link
/>

Filestack-js client

You can also import the official client and decouple its React component ReactFilestack. However, you will need to initialize it with the API key and optional security options.

import { client } from 'filestack-react';
const filestack = client.init('YOUR_API_KEY', security);

Examples

You can find the examples of using Pick in /examples/demo.

Run

yarn start

and connect to localhost:8080.

To try different functions go to /examples/demo2 and follow the same steps to run it.
