Dropzone is a JavaScript library that turns any HTML element into a dropzone. This means that a user can drag and drop a file onto it, and Dropzone will display file previews and upload progress, and handle the upload for you via XHR.

It's fully configurable, can be styled according to your needs and is trusted by thousands.

Quickstart

Install:

$ npm install --save dropzone
# or with yarn:
$ yarn add dropzone

Use as ES6 module (recommended):

import { Dropzone } from "dropzone";
const dropzone = new Dropzone("div#myId", { url: "/file/post" });

or use as CommonJS module:

const { Dropzone } = require("dropzone");
const dropzone = new Dropzone("div#myId", { url: "/file/post" });

Not using a package manager or bundler?

Use the standalone files like this:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/dropzone@5/dist/min/dropzone.min.js"></script>
<link
  rel="stylesheet"
  href="https://unpkg.com/dropzone@5/dist/min/dropzone.min.css"
  type="text/css"
/>

<div class="my-dropzone"></div>

<script>
  // Dropzone has been added as a global variable.
  const dropzone = new Dropzone("div.my-dropzone", { url: "/file/post" });
</script>

⚠️ NOTE: We are currently moving away from IE support to make the library more lightweight. If you don't care about IE but about size, you can already opt into 6.0.0-beta.1. Please make sure to pin the specific version since parts of the API might change slightly. You can always read about the changes in the CHANGELOG file.
