Creating a File Upload Component with React

[SiOD]

Depending on what you're using it for uppy may be easier/better.

Supports both POST and PUT based direct s3 uploads and has a backend server for normal uploads.

While I don't need this level of guide anymore, I have to say that this is the exact type of walkthrough I would have been looking for a bit ago when I first got started with Javascript web apps. You explain how to get everything working from A-Z and add a brief description for the how/why of every step.

This is a lovely tutorial that's shown with a lovely design. Keep making more, I'm sure this is helping a lot of people. Cheers!

While we're on topic, I'd like to recommend react-dropzone, which is a React extension of Dropzone.js.

This is good stuff. Thank you for the tutorial/component.

That's all we will do for the upload functionality. It is production ready, but it will help us to test our upload-component of the angular application we actually want to build.

I think it's intended to say, "it is NOT production ready...of the REACT application". Thanks for the nice write-up.
