Fancy Responsive File Uploader For jQuery - FancyFileUpload

A fancy, file uploader plugin based on the jQuery File Upload plugin that converts the normal file input into a responsive, mobile-friendly uploader interface with support for drag'n'drop, keyboard interactions, file preview,  Chunked file upload and much more. Dual licensed under the MIT or LGPL.

How to use it:

1. Load the primary CSS file 'fancy_fileupload.css' in the head section of the webpage.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="fancy_fileupload.css">

2. Load the file uploader plugin's script and other required JavaScript files at the end of the document.

<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.ui.widget.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.fileupload.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.iframe-transport.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.fancy-fileupload.js"></script>

3. Call the plugin on the file input field and done. You're allowed to specify the types of files that the server accepts:

<input id="demo" type="file" name="files" accept=".jpg, .png, image/jpeg, image/png" multiple>

$('#demo').FancyFileUpload({
  params : {
    action : 'fileuploader'
  },
  maxfilesize : 1000000
});
