Hey, what’s up!

In October we worked on Uppy 0.11, that included: grand architecture write up and discussions, bringing in a friendly person to look at what we’ve been up to, Redux experiments, updated Dashboard UI and website example,

More research and experiments

Here’s what we’ve been up to:

• Written up an ARCHITECTURE.md document describing our architecture and APIs.
• Invited author of Choo, Yoshua Wuyts to take a look at the state of things in Uppy, and he came up with a proposal for some changes, that we’ll be considering in the next releases.
• Experimented with using Redux.

Dashboard: example features, StatusBar and updated UI

Dashboard example on our website now features several options:

• Switch between “inline” and “modal dialog / popup” mode.
• Toggle autoProceed option that starts uploads automatically, without waiting for the click on “upload” button.
• Enable/disable acquire plugins, like Google Drive and Webcam.

StatusBar is a bar (yes) that appears on the bottom of the Dashboard and unifies progress with pause/resume buttons.

Dashboard UI has undergone minor improvements, like: new “drag files here” icon and tagline. The text before “acquire” icons on the top — Local Disk, Google Drive, Webcam — has been removed (it used to say “Import files from:”). New “remove file” icons. You know, small things, big difference.

HTTPS

We’ve upgraded both uppy.io and tus.io to support https with Let’s Encrypt, so now Webcam example works, secure uploads work, and all is well.

And more

• We’ve renamed FormTag plugin to FileInput and made it pretty be default, with an option to just show the default browser “choose file” if you wish.
• Fixed a bug with autoProceed: true duplicating uploads.
• Refactored Dashboard to only keep active acquire panel in DOM.
• Added PersistentState plugin that saves state to localStorage — useful for development.
• Grand refactor of Uppy Server with dynamic controllers.
• Webcam stream no longer flashed when state is updated.
