Drop-Zone

Overview

The Style Kit includes classes and a recommended implementation for using Dropzone.js to upload multiple files.

Dependencies

This plugin depends upon:

See distribution for how to include these dependencies.

Server requirements

You will need an endpoint that can accept form submissions with file uploads, specifically the multipart/form-data encoding type.

In modern browsers this will trigger a CORS preflight request due to the use of a Non-CORS-safelisted request-headers. In addition to the Access-Control-Allow-Origin and Access-Control-Allow-Methods headers, you will need to include these header names in a Access-Control-Allow-Headers header:

  • Cache-Control
  • X-Requested-With

Header names are not case sensitive.

Uses

Drop-zones can be useful when multiple files need to be uploaded and allow users to add or remove files multiple times.

Standard file upload fields should be used instead of drop-zones where only a single file is needed as they are part of the HTML standard.

Examples

There is a problem

One or more files could not be uploaded. If possible, fix the problem and try again.

    The corresponding JavaScript for this example:

  // [Dropzone 1] Prepare the file list
  var previewsTemplate1 = jQuery('#dropzone-1 .bsk-dropzone-file-list .bsk-dropzone-file-list-items').html();

    previewTemplate: previewsTemplate1,
    createImageThumbnails: false,
    clickable: "#dropzone-1 .bsk-target-inner"
