Uncaught Error: Invalid previewsContainer option provided. Please provide a CSS selector or a plain HTML element.

Im using the latest code and getting this error while trying to use the previewsContainer:

var myDropzone = new Dropzone(document.body, {
previewsContainer: ".dropzone-previews",
url: "/post/",
});

Is there any update on this issue? I'm too facing this.

I face this when the ".dropzone-previews' doesn't exist (Which will get added later) at the time I'm creating Dropzone.

It's because we're using 'this.previewsContainer = Dropzone.getElement(this.options.previewsContainer, "previewsContainer");' in Dropzone initialization in https://github.com/enyo/dropzone/blob/e524e03c83206f652f9a452f8d1b5b25362fc14a/dist/dropzone-amd-module.js#L466

I've searched for the usage of previewsContainer in the code, and it seems we don't need to do this at this time, and it can be added later when addedFile event is called.

I'm facing this issue with 'clickable' option also.

The element needs to exist when creating the Dropzone. Just postpone your Dropzone creation until you created the template.
