# [Uppy](http://uppy.io)

Uppy is a sleek, modular file uploader that integrates seemlessly with any application. It’s fast, easy to use and lets you worry about more important problems than building a file uploader. - **Fetch** files from local disk, Google Drive, Dropbox, Instagram, or snap and record selfies with a camera; - **Preview** and edit metadata with a nice interface; - **Upload** to the final destination, optionally processing/encoding on the way; **[Try Uppy](http://uppy.io/examples/dashboard/)** | **[Read the docs](http://uppy.io/docs)** Uppy UI Demo: modal dialog with a few selected files and an upload button

Uppy is being developed by the [Transloadit](https://transloadit.com) team. ## Features - Lightweight, modular plugin-based architecture, easy on dependencies :zap: - Resumable file uploads via the open [tus](http://tus.io/) standard - Supports picking files from: Webcam, Dropbox, Google Drive, Instagram, bypassing the user’s device where possible, syncing between servers directly via [uppy-server](https://github.com/transloadit/uppy-server) - Works great with file encoding and processing backends, such as [Transloadit](http://transloadit.com), works great without (just roll your own Apache/Nginx/Node/etc backend) - Sleek user interface :sparkles: - Optional file recovering (after a browser crash) with [Golden Retriever](https://uppy.io/docs/golden-retriever/) - Speaks multiple languages (i18n) :earth_africa: - Built with accessibility in mind - Free for the world, forever (as in beer 🍺, pizza 🍕, and liberty 🗽) - Cute as a puppy, also accepts cat pictures :dog: ## Installation ``` bash $ npm install uppy ``` We recommend installing from NPM and then using a module bundler such as [Webpack](http://webpack.github.io/), [Browserify](http://browserify.org/) or [Rollup.js](http://rollupjs.org/). Add CSS [uppy.min.css](https://unpkg.com/uppy/dist/uppy.min.css), either to `` of your HTML page or include in JS, if your bundler of choice supports it — transforms and plugins are available for Browserify and Webpack. If you like, you can also use a pre-built bundle, for example from [unpkg CDN](https://unpkg.com/uppy/). In that case `Uppy` will attach itself to the global `window.Uppy` object. > ⚠️ The bundle currently consists of most Uppy plugins, so this method is not recommended for production, as your users will have to download all plugins, even if you are using just a few. 1\. Add a script to the bottom of ``: ``` html ``` 2\. Add CSS to ``: ``` html ``` 3\. Initialize: ``` html ``` ## Documentation - [Uppy](http://uppy.io/docs/uppy/) — full list of options, methods and events. - [Plugins](http://uppy.io/docs/plugins/) — list of Uppy plugins and their options. - [Server](http://uppy.io/docs/server/) — setting up and running an Uppy Server instance, which adds support for Instagram, Dropbox, Google Drive and other remote sources. - Architecture & Making a Plugin — how to write a plugin for Uppy [documentation in progress]. ## Plugins - `Tus` — resumable uploads via [tus.io](http://tus.io) open standard - `XHRUpload` — regular uploads for any backend out there - `Transloadit` — support for [Transloadit](http://transloadit.com)’s robust file encoding and processing backend - `Dashboard` — universal UI with previews, progress bars, metadata editor and all the cool stuff - `DragDrop` — plain and simple drag and drop area - `FileInput` — even more plain “select files” button - `ProgressBar` — minimal progress bar that fills itself when upload progresses - `StatusBar` — more detailed progress, pause/resume/cancel buttons, percentage, speed, uploaded/total sizes (included by default with `Dashboard`) - `Informer` — send notifications like “smile” before taking a selfie or “upload failed” when all is lost (also included by default with `Dashboard`) - `RestoreFiles` — restores files after a browser crash, like it’s nothing - `GoogleDrive` — select files from [Google Drive](https://www.google.com/drive/) - `Dropbox` — select files from [Dropbox](https://www.dropbox.com/) - `Instagram` — you guessed right — select files from [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/) - `Webcam` — snap and record those selfies 📷 ## Browser Support

Note: we aim to support IE10+ and recent versions of Safari, Edge, Chrome, Firefox and Opera. IE6 on the chart above means we recommend setting Uppy to target a `

` element, so when Uppy has not yet loaded or is not supported, upload still works. Even on the refrigerator browser. Or, yes, IE6. ## FAQ ### React support? Yep. Uppy-React component is in the works, in the meantime you can just use it as any other lib with React, [see here](https://github.com/transloadit/uppy/tree/uppy-react/src/uppy-react). ### Can I use it with Rails/Node/Go/PHP? Yes, whatever you want on the backend will work with `XHRUpload` plugin, since it just does a `POST` or `PUT` request. If you want resumability, use [one of tus implementations](http://tus.io/implementations.html) 👌🏼 ### Do I need to install special service/server for it? No, as mentioned previously, `XHRUpload` plugin is old-school and just works with everything. However, you need [`uppy-server`](https://github.com/transloadit/uppy-server) if you’d like your users to be able to pick files from Google Drive or Dropbox (more services coming). And you can add [tus](http://tus.io) if you want resumability. ### Does Uppy support S3 uploads? Yes, since 0.18, there is an S3 plugin.
