🛠 Getting started
First, install Uppload using your package manager:
npm install uppload
Then, add styles, import Uppload and an uploader along with your language of choice and initialize the class:
import { Uppload, en, xhrUploader } from "uppload";
import "uppload/dist/uppload.css";
import "uppload/dist/themes/light.css";
const profilePicture = new Uppload({
value: "https://via.placeholder.com/150",
bind: ".uppload-image",
call: ".uppload-button",
lang: en,
uploader: xhrUploader({
endpoint: "https://example.com/upload"
});
});
Finally, choose which services (ways to select a file), effects (ways to manipulate a file), and uploaders (ways to send the file to a server) you want. Then, import these classes and use the Uppload.use() function to create your package:
import { Uppload, en, Local, Unsplash, Crop, Brightness } from "uppload";
profilePicture.use([
new Local(), // Select file from computer
new Unsplash("your API key"), // Search and import from Unsplash
new Crop({ aspectRatio: 16 / 9 }), // Let users crop image to 16:9
new Brightness() // Let users apply image filters
]);
