Requirement

@dropzone-ui/react is based on React Hooks. It requires react v16.8+.

@dropzone-ui/react uses axios for uploading files. It requires axios v0.24.0+.

Installation

@dropzone-ui/react is available as an npm package.

For uploading files, peer dependency axios must be also installed together with dropzone-ui.

// with npm
npm i @dropzone-ui/react axios

// with yarn
yarn add @dropzone-ui/react axios

Usage and examples

Here is a quick example to get you started, it's all you need:

import * as React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { Dropzone, FileItem } from "@dropzone-ui/react";
Function App() {
  const [files, setFiles] = React.useState([]);
  const updateFiles = (incommingFiles) => {
    setFiles(incommingFiles);
  };
  return (
    <Dropzone onChange={updateFiles} value={files}>
      {files.map((file) => (
        <FileItem {...file} preview />
      ))}
    </Dropzone>
  );
}

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.querySelector("#app"));

Yes, it's really all you need to get started as you can see in these live and interactive demos:

Uploading

Dropzone-ui provides a way to upload files to a server. However, in case you want to make your own upload function, you can take the files that Dropzone onChange event returns.

For uploading files through dropzone-ui, you should follow at least this guidelines:

• Server Endpoint should get the file from req.files.file.
• Server Response should follow the DropzoneUIResponse structure for returning a response.

Server example

Bellow, there is an example built in Express.js wich you can use to create your own server side implementation. Other languages implementations are in construction.

The complete code can be found here.

const express = require("express");
const fileUpload = require("express-fileupload");
// ... some code
app.post("/upload-my-file", async (req, res) => {
  try {
    if (!req.files) {
      res.send({
        status: false,
        message: "There was no file found in request",
        payload: {},
      });
    } else {
      //Use the name of the input field (i.e. "file") to retrieve the uploaded file
      let file = req.files.file;
      //Use the mv() method to place the file in upload directory (i.e. "uploads")
      file.mv("./uploads/" + file.name);
      //send response
      res.send({
        status: true,
        message: "File was uploaded successfuly",
        payload: {
          name: file.name,
          mimetype: file.mimetype,
          size: file.size,
          path: "/files/uploads/",
          url: "https://my-ftp-server.com/bjYJGFYgjfVGHVb",
        },
      });
    }
  } catch (err) {
    res.status(500).send({
      status: false,
      message: "Unexpected problem",
      payload: {},
    });
  }
});

Special Types Api

FileValidated

This is the file structure that is used in onChange event from Dropzone. This object contains all the required props to work dynamically with FileItem component.

export enum UPLOADSTATUS {
    uploading = "uploading",
    success = "success",
    error = "error"
}
export interface FileValidated {
    file: File;
    valid: boolean;
    id: number| string | undefined;
    errors?: string[];
    uploadMessage?: string;
    uploadStatus?: undefined | UPLOADSTATUS;
}

FileDuiResponse

This is the object structure for responses thatcomes from server when Dropzone onUploadFinish event is triggeed. This event returns an array of FileDuiResponse objects

export interface FileDuiResponse {
  id: number | string | undefined;
  serverResponse: DropzoneUIResponse | {};
}

DropzoneUIResponse

This is the response structure for each file that server must send when Dropzone perfoms the upload process.

export interface DropzoneUIResponse {
  status: boolean;
  message: string;
  payload: any;
}

UploadPromiseAxiosResponse

This is the response object after uploading each file.

export interface UploadPromiseAxiosResponse {
  serverResponse: FileDuiResponse;
  uploadedFile: FileValidated;
}

CustomValidateFileResponse

This is the response structure for each file that server must send when Dropzone performs the upload process.
