Frontend Uploadfield
====================

[](#frontend-uploadfield)

Frontend UploadField for SilverStripe 4 with Dropzone.js. jQuery is also required to be included in your front end template.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require jamesbolitho/silverstripe-frontenduploadfield

run /dev/build

```

Field Configuation
------------------

[](#field-configuation)

To use this field use:

```
use jamesbolitho\frontenduploadfield\UploadField;

```

Create your field as normal in your form:

```
$upload1 = UploadField::create('Images', 'Images');

```

Set upload folder:

```
$upload1->setFolderName("Uploads/my-upload-folder/");

```

Set allowed file types:

```
$upload1->getValidator()->setAllowedExtensions(array('jpg','jpeg','gif'));

```

Set allowed max file size:

```
$sizeMB = 1; // 1 MB
$size = $sizeMB * 1024 * 1024; // 1 MB in bytes
$upload1->getValidator()->setAllowedMaxFileSize($size);

```

Set to allow files to be removed from upload field:

```
$upload1->setRemoveFiles(true);

```

*Please note that this also removes files from assets as well.*

For this remove files function to work a key is generated and saved in the database for each file that is uploaded through the front end upload fields. This is to provide a more secure way of identifying your files from front end forms. To remove this key after uploading you can add the following to your form submission processing function for example:

```
foreach($data["Images"]["Files"] as $id) {
	if($file = File::get()->byID((int) $id)) {
		$file->removeFrontEndUploadKey();
	}
}

```

Set to allow multiple file upload:

```
$upload1->setIsMultiUpload(true);

```

Set allowed number of files to upload:

```
$upload1->setAllowedMaxFileNumber(5);

```

Set timeout for the XHR requests in milliseconds:

```
$upload1->setTimeout(30000);

```

ToDo's:
-------

[](#todos)

- Add ability to alter more Dropzone settings programmatically through Silverstripe
- Add chunk upload.
- Add more icons for non image files e.g. pdf, word etc.
