Developer Notes
---------------

[](#developer-notes)

### Adding a drag&drop file input and processing uploads

[](#adding-a-dragdrop-file-input-and-processing-uploads)

To add a drag&drop input to your form, add the following:

```
echo elgg_view('input/dropzone', array(
		'name' => 'upload_guids',
		'accept' => "image/*",
		'max' => 25,
		'multiple' => true,
		'container_guid' => $container_guid, // optional file container
		'subtype' => $subtype, // subtype of the file entities to be created
		// see the view for more options
	));
```

In your action, you can retrieve uploaded files with `get_input('upload_guids');`

You also need to implement a fallback solution for when the browser does not support drag and drop. Check `hypeJunction\DropzoneService` for an example.

### Initializing and resetting dropzone

[](#initializing-and-resetting-dropzone)

You can instantiate and clear dropzone by triggering jQuery events on the containing form:

```
$('.elgg-form').trigger('initialize'); // will instantiate dropzone inputs contained within the form
$('.elgg-form').trigger('reset'); // will clear previews and hidden guid inputs
```
