React component wrapper for filestack-js

Filestack React

This is the official React component for Filestack API and content management system that makes it easy to add powerful file uploading and transformation capabilities to any web or mobile application.

Installing

Install filestack-react and filestack-js through npm.

npm install filestack-react filestack-js

Import

const ReactFilestack = require('filestack-react');

In ES2015

import ReactFilestack from 'filestack-react';

Import with filestack-js client

import ReactFilestack, { client } from 'filestack-react';

client is available from version 1.3.4

Usage

You should register on the Filestack website and get an API key first!

1. Custom Designed button

<ReactFilestack
  apikey={YOUR_API_KEY}
  buttonText="Click me"
  buttonClass="classname"
  options={options}
  onSuccess={this.yourCallbackFunction}
/>

2. Custom render

<ReactFilestack
  apikey={apikey}
  options={options}
  onSuccess={onSuccess}
  onError={onError}
  render={({ onPick }) => (
    <div>
      <strong>Find an avatar</strong>
      <button onClick={onPick}>Pick</button>
    </div>
  )}
/>

3. Other modes

<ReactFilestack
  apikey={YOUR_API_KEY}
  mode="upload"
  options={options}
  onSuccess={onSuccess}
/>

Available modes:

Define your own options object and callback function, connect them to the component and get the result from Filestack:

const options = {
  accept: 'image/*',
  maxFiles: 5,
  storeTo: {
    location: 's3',
  },
};

onSuccess(result) {
  // handle result here
}

Do you prefer a link instead of a button?

You can pass a custom prop link.

<ReactFilestack
  apikey={YOUR_API_KEY}
  options={options}
  onSuccess={this.yourCallbackFunction}
  link
/>

filestack-js client

You can also import the official client and decouple its React component ReactFilestack.
However, you will need to initialize it with the API key and any client options you need such as security, cname, and sessionCache.

import { client } from 'filestack-react';
const filestack = client.init('YOUR_API_KEY', options);

Examples

You can find the examples of using Pick in /examples/demo.

Run

npm start
