Package Exports

upload-js
upload-js/dist/main.js

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 (upload-js) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

The quickest way to upload files.

🚀 Get Started — Try on CodePen

To create a working file upload button, copy this example:

<html>
  <head>
    <script src="https://js.upload.io/upload-js/v1"></script>
    <script>
      const upload = new Upload({
        // Get production API keys from Upload.io
        apiKey: "free"
      });

      const uploadFile = upload.createFileInputHandler({
        onProgress: ({ bytesSent, bytesTotal }) => {
          console.log(`${bytesSent / bytesTotal}% complete`)
        },
        onUploaded: ({ fileUrl, fileId }) => {
          alert(`File uploaded!\n${fileUrl}`);
        },
        onError: (error) => {
          alert(`Error!\n${error.message}`);
        }
      });
    </script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <input type="file" onchange="uploadFile(event)" />
  </body>
</html>

Installation

Install via NPM:

npm install upload-js

Or via a <script> tag:

        )
      })
    </script>

  <body>
    <h1 id="title">Please select a file...</h1>
    <input type="file" id="file-input" />
  </body>
</html>

Upload Multiple Files with jQuery — Try on CodePen

Please refer to the CodePen example (link above).

Overview of the code:

Instantiate Upload once in your app (at the start).
Call createFileInputHandler once for each file <input> element.
Use onProgress to display the upload progress for each input element.
When onUploaded fires, record the fileUrl from the callback's argument to a local variable.
When onUploaded has fired for all files, the form is ready to be submitted.

Note: file uploads will safely run in parallel, despite using the same Upload instance.

Force File Downloads

By default, the browser will attempt to render uploaded files:

https://files.upload.io/W142hJkHhVSQ5ZQ5bfqvanQ

To force a file to download, add ?download=true to the file's URL:

https://files.upload.io/W142hJkHhVSQ5ZQ5bfqvanQ?download=true

Resize Images

Given an uploaded image URL:

https://files.upload.io/W142hJkHhVSQ5ZQ5bfqvanQ

Resize with:

https://files.upload.io/W142hJkHhVSQ5ZQ5bfqvanQ/thumbnail

Autocrop with:

https://files.upload.io/W142hJkHhVSQ5ZQ5bfqvanQ/thumbnail-square

Crop Images — Try on CodePen

To crop images using manually-provided geometry:

<html>
  <head>
    <script src="https://js.upload.io/upload-js/v1"></script>
    <script>
      const upload = new Upload({
        // Get production API keys from Upload.io
        apiKey: "free"
      });

      // Step 1: Upload the original file.
      const onOriginalImageUploaded = ({ fileId, fileUrl: originalImageUrl }) => {

        // Step 2: Configure crop geometry.
        const crop = {
          // Type Def: https://github.com/upload-js/upload-image-plugin/blob/main/src/types/ParamsFromFile.ts
          input: fileId,
          pipeline: {
            steps: [
              {
                geometry: {
                  // Prompt your user for these dimensions...
                  offset: {
                    x: 20,
                    y: 40
                  },
                  size: {
                    // ...and these too...
                    width: 200,
                    height: 100,
                    type: "widthxheight!"
                  }
                },
                type: "crop"
              }
            ]
          }
        }

        // Step 3: Upload the crop geometry.
        const blob = new Blob([JSON.stringify(crop)], {type: "application/json"});
        upload
          .uploadFile({
            file: {
              name: `${fileId}_cropped.json`, // Can be anything.
              type: blob.type,
              size: blob.size,
              slice: (start, end) => blob.slice(start, end)
            }
          })
          .then(
            ({ fileUrl: cropGeometryUrl }) => {

              // Step 4: Done! Here's the cropped image's URL:
              alert(`Cropped image:\n${cropGeometryUrl}/thumbnail`)

            },
            e => console.error(e)
          );
      };

      const uploadFile = upload.createFileInputHandler({
        onUploaded: onOriginalImageUploaded
      });
    </script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <input type="file" onchange="uploadFile(event)" />
  </body>
