Demo

Demo File Upload

Description

File Upload widget with multiple file selection, drag&drop support, progress bars, validation and preview images, audio and video for jQuery.
Supports cross-domain, chunked and resumable file uploads and client-side image resizing. Works with any server-side platform (PHP, Python, Ruby on Rails, Java, Node.js, Go etc.) that supports standard HTML form file uploads.

Setup

• How to setup the plugin on your website
• How to use only the basic plugin (minimal setup guide).

Features

• Multiple file upload:
  Allows to select multiple files at once and upload them simultaneously.
• Drag & Drop support:
  Allows to upload files by dragging them from your desktop or filemanager and dropping them on your browser window.
• Upload progress bar:
  Shows a progress bar indicating the upload progress for individual files and for all uploads combined.
• Cancelable uploads:
  Individual file uploads can be canceled to stop the upload progress.
• Resumable uploads:
  Aborted uploads can be resumed with browsers supporting the Blob API.
• Chunked uploads:
  Large files can be uploaded in smaller chunks with browsers supporting the Blob API.
• Client-side image resizing:
  Images can be automatically resized on client-side with browsers supporting the required JS APIs.
• Preview images, audio and video:
  A preview of image, audio and video files can be displayed before uploading with browsers supporting the required APIs.
• No browser plugins (e.g. Adobe Flash) required:
  The implementation is based on open standards like HTML5 and JavaScript and requires no additional browser plugins.
• Graceful fallback for legacy browsers:
  Uploads files via XMLHttpRequests if supported and uses iframes as fallback for legacy browsers.
• HTML file upload form fallback:
  Allows progressive enhancement by using a standard HTML file upload form as widget element.
• Cross-site file uploads:
  Supports uploading files to a different domain with cross-site XMLHttpRequests or iframe redirects.
• Multiple plugin instances:
  Allows to use multiple plugin instances on the same webpage.
• Customizable and extensible:
  Provides an API to set individual options and define callBack methods for various upload events.
• Multipart and file contents stream uploads:
  Files can be uploaded as standard "multipart/form-data" or file contents stream (HTTP PUT file upload).
• Compatible with any server-side application platform:
  Works with any server-side platform (PHP, Python, Ruby on Rails, Java, Node.js, Go etc.) that supports standard HTML form file uploads.

Requirements

Mandatory requirements

• jQuery v. 1.6+
• jQuery UI widget factory v. 1.9+ (included): Required for the basic File Upload plugin, but very lightweight without any other dependencies from the jQuery UI suite.
• jQuery Iframe Transport plugin (included): Required for browsers without XHR file upload support.

Optional requirements

• JavaScript Templates engine v. 2.5.4+: Used to render the selected and uploaded files for the Basic Plus UI and jQuery UI versions.
• JavaScript Load Image library v. 1.13.0+: Required for the image previews and resizing functionality.
• JavaScript Canvas to Blob polyfill v. 2.1.1+:Required for the image previews and resizing functionality.
• blueimp Gallery v. 2.15.1+: Used to display the uploaded images in a lightbox.
• Bootstrap v. 3.2.0+
• Glyphicons

The user interface of all versions except the jQuery UI version is built with Bootstrap and icons from Glyphicons.

Cross-domain requirements

Cross-domain File Uploads using the Iframe Transport plugin require a redirect back to the origin server to retrieve the upload results. The example implementation makes use of result.html as a static redirect page for the origin server.

The repository also includes the jQuery XDomainRequest Transport plugin, which enables limited cross-domain AJAX requests in Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 and 9 (IE 10 supports cross-domain XHR requests).
The XDomainRequest object allows GET and POST requests only and doesn't support file uploads. It is used on the Demo to delete uploaded files from the cross-domain demo file upload service.
