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.

</html>Upload Multiple Files with jQuery โ Try on CodePen
Please refer to the CodePen example (link above).
Overview of the code:
- Call
Uploadonce at the start of your app. - Call
uploadFilefrom your<input onchange="...">handlers. - Use
onProgressto display the upload progress for each input element. - When
onUploadedfires, record thefileUrlfrom the callback's argument to a local variable. - When
onUploadedhas 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.
Resize Images
Given an uploaded image URL:
https://upcdn.io/W142hJk/raw/HhVSQ5ZQ5bfqvanQResize with:
https://upcdn.io/W142hJk/thumbnail/HhVSQ5ZQ5bfqvanQAuto-crop (to square dimensions) with:
https://upcdn.io/W142hJk/thumbnail-square/HhVSQ5ZQ5bfqvanQTip: for more transformations, please create an account.
Crop Images โ Try on CodePen
To crop images using manually-provided geometry:
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://js.upload.io/upload-js/v2"></script>
<script>
const upload = Upload({
// Get production API keys from Upload.io
apiKey: "free"
});
// Step 1: Upload the original file.
const onOriginalImageUploaded = async (originalImage) => {
// Step 2: Configure crop geometry.
const crop = {
// Type Def: https://github.com/upload-io/upload-image-plugin/blob/main/src/types/ParamsFromFile.ts
inputPath: originalImage.filePath,
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"});
const croppedImage = await upload.uploadFile({
name: "image_cropped.json", // Can be anything.
type: blob.type,
size: blob.size,
slice: (start, end) => blob.slice(start, end)
})
// Step 4: Done! Here's the cropped image:
return croppedImage;
};
const onFileSelected = async (event) => {
const [ file ] = event.target.files;
const originalImage = await upload.uploadFile(file);
const croppedImage = await onOriginalImageUploaded(originalImage)
alert(`Cropped image:\n${croppedImage.fileUrl.replace("/raw/", "/thumbnail/")}`)
}
