Package Exports
- @mitodl/react-dropzone-uploader
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@mitodl/react-dropzone-uploader) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Installation
npm install --save react-dropzone-uploader
Import default styles in your app.
import 'react-dropzone-uploader/dist/styles.css'Quick Start
RDU handles common use cases with almost no config. The following code gives you a dropzone and clickable file input that accepts image, audio and video files. It uploads files to https://httpbin.org/post, and renders a button to submit files that are done uploading. Check out a live demo.
import 'react-dropzone-uploader/dist/styles.css'
import Dropzone from 'react-dropzone-uploader'
const MyUploader = () => {
// specify upload params and url for your files
const getUploadParams = ({ meta }) => { return { url: 'https://httpbin.org/post' } }
// called every time a file's `status` changes
const handleChangeStatus = ({ meta, file }, status) => { console.log(status, meta, file) }
// receives array of files that are done uploading when submit button is clicked
const handleSubmit = (files) => { console.log(files.map(f => f.meta)) }
return (
<Dropzone
getUploadParams={getUploadParams}
onChangeStatus={handleChangeStatus}
onSubmit={handleSubmit}
accept="image/*,audio/*,video/*"
/>
)

There are a number of places RDU could be improved; see here.
For example, RDU has solid core functionality, but has a minimalist look and feel. It would be more beginner-friendly with a larger variety of built-in components.
