React Drag and Drop file uploader •

A minimal React Component wrapper to simplify the drag and drop of file(s) onto DOM elements.

Features

• When file(s) is dragged over element, the class is append with 'drag-active' (you can customize the appended class name to suit your needs)
• DragDrop can return a FileList, which is part of the DataTransfer.files object. Additionally, you can append the FileList with the id,classList, or data- attributes from the drop area.

Quick Start

Include your configuration info:

const config = {
    watchDrag: '*',
    fileCallback: myUploadMethod,
    appendToFileCallback: ['id'],
  };

Wrap your tags or component with the DragDrop component

<DragDrop options={config}>
  <div className="div-one">
    <header>My Header</header>
    <ul>
      {myArray.map(({item}) => (
        <li
          data-item={item.name}
          id={item.id}
          className="drop-list-item"
          key={item.id}
        >
          {item.info}
        </li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  </div>
</DragDrop>

Configuration Guide

Within the options prop, you can add some customizations.

| Key | Values | Description | |:-------:|:---------------:|:-------- | |watchDrag| *, Array of class name(s) or 'none'. (Defaults to *) | * denotes that on drag over, only individual elements will be have drag-active (or custom class name) appended. You may also have an array of class names that indicates which groups of classes should be appended. So, if you drag over an element with class name foo and want all other elements with class name foo to be appended with drag-active, then include foo in your watchDrag array. If you pass 'none' into watchDrag, then no classes will be appended. |customClass|class name as string| Instead of using the default drag-active on drag over events, you can specify a custom class name. |fileCallback|function|A function which the file(s) are passed to upon drop. The information is a DataTransfer.files object. | |appendToFileCallback|Array with at least one of the following keywords: 'className', 'id', 'data'.|To locate where the file(s) have been dropped, you can include the appendToFileCallback key with appropriate flags. On file(s) drop, this will append the fileCallback with said flags corresponding to drop target. The shape of responses is as follows: id: String,className: [String],data: Object, and files: FileList.

Notes:

• Elements whose class you want appended (upon drag over) must already have a class name tied to them. This component will not add non-existent class fields.

• If you specified className, id, or data- attribute(s) for appendToFileCallback and that attribute doesn't exist within the DOM, the callback will return null instead.
