Dropzonejs::Rails4

Integrate Matias Meno's Dropzone awesome file upload JS library right into the Asset pipeline of your Rails apps.

Installation and usage

First add dropzonejs-rails4 to your Gemfile and, as you already know, bundle it and then restart your Rails app:

# On your Gemfile
gem 'dropzonejs-rails4'

$ bundle install

After that, you need to make dropzone.js available on your pages. To do that, you can add it to your application.js file, like this:

//= require dropzonejs/dropzone

And if you would like to use one of the styles bundled with Dropzone, add to your application.css:

*= require dropzonejs/dropzone/basic

or

*= require dropzonejs/dropzone/dropzone

And that, add code to view

The typical way of using dropzone is by creating a form element with the class dropzone

<form action="/file-upload" class="dropzone" id="my-awesome-dropzone"></form>

Alternatively you can create dropzones programmaticaly (even on non form elements) by instantiating the Dropzone class

html

<form action="/file-upload" class="dropzone">
  <div class="fallback">
    <input name="file" type="file" multiple />
  </div>
</form>

javascript

// Dropzone class:
var myDropzone = new Dropzone("div#myId", { url: "/file/post"});

or if you use jQuery, you can use the jQuery plugin Dropzone ships with:

// jQuery
$("div#myId").dropzone({ url: "/file/post" });
