dropzone npm (How It Works For Developers)

Published September 29, 2024
Share:

File uploading is a common feature in web applications, and making it user-friendly is crucial for a good user experience. One popular library that simplifies this process is Dropzone.js. When combined with React, Dropzone can be a powerful tool for implementing drag-and-drop file uploads. The react-dropzone integrates perfectly and seamlessly with minimal development efforts. This article will guide you through integrating Dropzone with a React application using the react-dropzone package, an excellent wrapper around the Dropzone.js library.

In this article, we will also look at IronPDF NPM package to generate, edit and manage PDF documents.

Why Use Dropzone in React?

Dropzone provides various features that make file uploading seamless:

1. Drag-and-Drop Interface

Allows users to drag and drop files to enable file selection. Adds file dialog programmatically.

2. Previews

Displays default image thumbnail previews from dropped files. The display file previews help to enhance the UI readability.

3. Multiple File Uploads

Supports uploading multiple files at once.

4. Customizable

Highly customizable with various options and callbacks. Can customize file dialog opening or file select dialog

5. Large files chunked uploads

Upload large files using chunked upload.

6. Handle Events

File dialog cancel callback and also browser image resizing events can be handled

Setting Up the React Application

Before integrating Dropzone, ensure you have a React application set up. If you don't have one, you can create a new React project using Create React App:

npx create-react-app dropzone-demo
cd dropzone-demo
npx create-react-app dropzone-demo
cd dropzone-demo
'INSTANT VB TODO TASK: The following line uses invalid syntax:
'npx create-react-app dropzone-demo cd dropzone-demo
VB   C#

Installing react-dropzone

To use Dropzone in your React project, you need to install the react-dropzone package:

npm install react-dropzone
or
yarn add react-dropzone
npm install react-dropzone
or
yarn add react-dropzone
'INSTANT VB TODO TASK: The following line uses invalid syntax:

Basic Usage of react-dropzone

Here’s a simple example of react-dropzone usage in a React component:

import React, { useCallback } from 'react';
import { useDropzone } from 'react-dropzone'; // import dropzone
const DropzoneComponent = () => {
  const onDrop = useCallback((acceptedFiles) => {
    console.log(acceptedFiles);
  }, []);
  const { getRootProps, getInputProps, isDragActive } = useDropzone({ onDrop });
  return (
    <div {...getRootProps()} style={dropzoneStyle}>
      {
        isDragActive ?
          <p>Drop the files here ...</p> :
          <p>Drag 'n' drop some files here, or click to select files</p>
      }
    </div>
  );
};
const dropzoneStyle = {
  border: '2px dashed #0087F7',
  borderRadius: '5px',
  padding: '20px',
  textAlign: 'center',
  cursor: 'pointer'
};
export default DropzoneComponent;
import React, { useCallback } from 'react';
import { useDropzone } from 'react-dropzone'; // import dropzone
const DropzoneComponent = () => {
  const onDrop = useCallback((acceptedFiles) => {
    console.log(acceptedFiles);
  }, []);
  const { getRootProps, getInputProps, isDragActive } = useDropzone({ onDrop });
  return (
    <div {...getRootProps()} style={dropzoneStyle}>
      {
        isDragActive ?
          <p>Drop the files here ...</p> :
          <p>Drag 'n' drop some files here, or click to select files</p>
      }
    </div>
  );
};
const dropzoneStyle = {
  border: '2px dashed #0087F7',
  borderRadius: '5px',
  padding: '20px',
  textAlign: 'center',
  cursor: 'pointer'
};
export default DropzoneComponent;

VB   C#

Handling File Uploads

When files are dropped or selected, the onDrop callback receives an array of accepted files. You can then handle the files, such as uploading them to a server. Here’s how you can extend the onDrop callback to upload files using fetch:

const onDrop = useCallback((acceptedFiles) => {
  const formData = new FormData();
  acceptedFiles.forEach((file) => {
    formData.append('files', file);
  });
  fetch('https://your-upload-endpoint', {
    method: 'POST',
    body: formData,
  })
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))
  .catch(error => console.error('Error:', error));
}, []);
const onDrop = useCallback((acceptedFiles) => {
  const formData = new FormData();
  acceptedFiles.forEach((file) => {
    formData.append('files', file);
  });
  fetch('https://your-upload-endpoint', {
    method: 'POST',
    body: formData,
  })
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))
  .catch(error => console.error('Error:', error));
}, []);
'INSTANT VB TODO TASK: Lambda expressions and anonymous methods are not converted by Instant VB if local variables of the outer method are referenced within the anonymous method:

	)
	fetch( 'https: method: 'POST', body: formData}).@then(response => response.json()).@then(data => console.log(data)).catch(@error => console.@error('@Error:', @error));
End If
, ())

Displaying Previews

You can also display previews of the uploaded files. Here’s an example of how to do this:

import React, { useCallback, useState } from 'react';
import { useDropzone } from 'react-dropzone';
const DropzoneComponent = () => {
  const [files, setFiles] = useState([]);
  const onDrop = useCallback((acceptedFiles) => {
    setFiles(acceptedFiles.map(file => Object.assign(file, {
      preview: URL.createObjectURL(file)
    })));
  }, []);
  const { getRootProps, getInputProps, isDragActive } = useDropzone({ onDrop });
  const thumbs = files.map(file => (
    <div key={file.name}>
      <img
        src={file.preview}
        style={{ width: '100px', height: '100px' }}
        alt={file.name}
      />
    </div>
  ));
  return (
    <div>
      <div {...getRootProps()} style={dropzoneStyle}>
        {
          isDragActive ?
            <p>Drop the files here ...</p> :
            <p>Drag 'n' drop some files here, or click to select files</p>
        }
      </div>
      <div>
        {thumbs}
      </div>
    </div>
  );
};
const dropzoneStyle = {
  border: '2px dashed #0087F7',
  borderRadius: '5px',
  padding: '20px',
  textAlign: 'center',
  cursor: 'pointer'
};
export default DropzoneComponent;
import React, { useCallback, useState } from 'react';
import { useDropzone } from 'react-dropzone';
const DropzoneComponent = () => {
  const [files, setFiles] = useState([]);
  const onDrop = useCallback((acceptedFiles) => {
    setFiles(acceptedFiles.map(file => Object.assign(file, {
      preview: URL.createObjectURL(file)
    })));
  }, []);
  const { getRootProps, getInputProps, isDragActive } = useDropzone({ onDrop });
  const thumbs = files.map(file => (
    <div key={file.name}>
      <img
        src={file.preview}
        style={{ width: '100px', height: '100px' }}
        alt={file.name}
      />
    </div>
  ));
  return (
    <div>
      <div {...getRootProps()} style={dropzoneStyle}>
        {
          isDragActive ?
            <p>Drop the files here ...</p> :
            <p>Drag 'n' drop some files here, or click to select files</p>
        }
      </div>

  );
};
const dropzoneStyle = {

Cleaning Up

It’s essential to revoke the object URLs to avoid memory leaks. You can achieve this by using the useEffect hook:

import { useEffect } from 'react';
useEffect(() => {
  // Make sure to revoke the data uris to avoid memory leaks
  return () => files.forEach(file => URL.revokeObjectURL(file.preview));
}, [files]);
import { useEffect } from 'react';
useEffect(() => {
  // Make sure to revoke the data uris to avoid memory leaks
  return () => files.forEach(file => URL.revokeObjectURL(file.preview));
}, [files]);
import
If True Then
	useEffect
End If

Since IronPDF runs on node only, next add a API for the app where PDF is generate on node

Create a file pdf.js at pages/api folder and add below source code

// pages/api/pdf.js
import {IronPdfGlobalConfig, PdfDocument} from "@ironsoftware/ironpdf";
// Apply your IronPDF license key
IronPdfGlobalConfig.getConfig().licenseKey = "Add Your key here";
export default async function handler(req, res) {
    try {
        const url = req.query.url
        const pdf = await PdfDocument.fromUrl(url);
        const data = await pdf.saveAsBuffer();
        console.error('data PDF:', data);
        res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/pdf');
        res.setHeader('Content-Disposition', 'attachment; filename=awesomeIron.pdf');
        res.send(data);
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error generating PDF:', error);
        res.status(500).end();
    }
}
// pages/api/pdf.js
import {IronPdfGlobalConfig, PdfDocument} from "@ironsoftware/ironpdf";
