  A preview of image, audio and video files can be displayed before uploading with browsers supporting the required APIs.
• No browser plugins (e.g. Adobe Flash) required:
  The implementation is based on open standards like HTML5 and JavaScript and requires no additional browser plugins.
• Graceful fallback for legacy browsers:
  Uploads files via XMLHttpRequests if supported and uses iframes as fallback for legacy browsers.
• HTML file upload form fallback:
  Allows progressive enhancement by using a standard HTML file upload form as widget element.

  Supports uploading files to a different domain with cross-site XMLHttpRequests or iframe redirects.
• Multiple plugin instances:

• Customizable and extensible:

• Compatible with any server-side application platform:
  Works with any server-side platform (PHP, Python, Ruby on Rails, Java, Node.js, Go etc.) that supports standard HTML form file uploads.

Security

⚠️ Please read the [VULNERABILITIES](VULNERABILITIES.md) document for a list of fixed vulnerabilities

Please also read the [SECURITY](SECURITY.md) document for instructions on how to securely configure your Web server for file uploads.

Setup

jQuery File Upload can be installed via NPM:

npm install blueimp-file-upload

This allows you to include [jquery.fileupload.js](js/jquery.fileupload.js) and its extensions via node_modules, e.g:

<script src="node_modules/blueimp-file-upload/js/jquery.fileupload.js"></script>

The widget can then be initialized on a file upload form the following way:

$('#fileupload').fileupload();

For further information, please refer to the following guides:

• Main documentation page
• List of all available Options
• The plugin API
• How to setup the plugin on your website
• How to use only the basic plugin.

Requirements

Mandatory requirements

• jQuery v1.7+
• jQuery UI widget factory v1.9+ (included): Required for the basic File Upload plugin, but very lightweight without any other dependencies from the jQuery UI suite.
• jQuery Iframe Transport plugin (included): Required for browsers without XHR file upload support.

Optional requirements

• JavaScript Templates engine v3+: Used to render the selected and uploaded files.
• JavaScript Load Image library v2+: Required for the image previews and resizing functionality.
• JavaScript Canvas to Blob polyfill v3+:Required for the resizing functionality.
• blueimp Gallery v2+: Used to display the uploaded images in a lightbox.
• Bootstrap v3+: Used for the demo design.
• Glyphicons Icon set used by Bootstrap.

Cross-domain requirements

Cross-domain File Uploads using the Iframe Transport plugin require a redirect back to the origin server to retrieve the upload results. The example implementation makes use of result.html as a static redirect page for the origin server.

The repository also includes the jQuery XDomainRequest Transport plugin, which enables limited cross-domain AJAX requests in Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 and 9 (IE 10 supports cross-domain XHR requests).
The XDomainRequest object allows GET and POST requests only and doesn't support file uploads. It is used on the Demo to delete uploaded files from the cross-domain demo file upload service.
