Getting Started with KendoReact Upload

The KendoReact Upload helps users send files from their file systems to dedicated server handlers which are configured to receive them.

The KendoReact Upload is distributed through NPM under the kendo-react-upload package.

The Upload component is part of KendoReact, a professionally built commercial UI library. To try out this component you need to sign up for a 30-day trial, which gives you access to the full KendoReact library.

Basic Usage

The following example demonstrates the Upload in action.

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { Upload } from '@progress/kendo-react-upload';

class App extends React.Component {
    render() {
        return (
            <Upload
                batch={false}
                multiple={true}
                defaultFiles={[]}
                withCredentials={false}
                saveUrl={'https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/service-v4/upload/save'}
                removeUrl={'https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/service-v4/upload/remove'}
            />
        );
    }
}

ReactDOM.render(
    <App />,
    document.querySelector('my-app')
);

Events

The following example demonstrates basic Upload events.

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { Upload } from '@progress/kendo-react-upload';

const fileStatuses = [
    'UploadFailed',
    'Initial',
    'Selected',
    'Uploading',
    'Uploaded',
    'RemoveFailed',
    'Removing'
];

class App extends React.Component {
    constructor(props) {
        super(props);

        this.state = {
            files: [],
            events: [],
            filePreviews: {}
        };
    }

    onAdd = (event) => {
        const afterStateChange = () => {
            event.affectedFiles
                .filter(file => !file.validationErrors)
                .forEach(file => {
                    const reader = new FileReader();

                    reader.onloadend = (ev) => {
                        this.setState({
                            filePreviews: {
                                ...this.state.filePreviews,
                                [file.uid]: ev.target.result
                            }
                        });
                    };

                    reader.readAsDataURL(file.getRawFile());
                });
        };

        this.setState({
            files: event.newState,
            events: [
                ...this.state.events,
                `File selected: ${event.affectedFiles[0].name}`
            ]
        }, afterStateChange);
    }

    onRemove = (event) => {
        const filePreviews = {
            ...this.state.filePreviews
        };

        event.affectedFiles.forEach(file => {
            delete filePreviews[file.uid];
        });

        this.setState({
            files: event.newState,
            events: [
                ...this.state.events,
                `File removed: ${event.affectedFiles[0].name}`
            ],
            filePreviews: filePreviews
        });
    }

    onProgress = (event) => {
        this.setState({
            files: event.newState,
            events: [
                ...this.state.events,
                `On Progress: ${event.affectedFiles[0].progress} %`
            ]
        });
    }

    onStatusChange = (event) => {
        const file = event.affectedFiles[0];

        this.setState({
            files: event.newState,
            events: [
                ...this.state.events,
                `File '${file.name}' status changed to: ${fileStatuses[file.status]}`
            ]
        });
    }

    render() {
        return (
            <div>
