Quick Start

Install using npm:

npm install filepond

Then import in your project:

import * as FilePond from 'filepond';

// Create a multi file upload component
const pond = FilePond.create({
    multiple: true,
    name: 'filepond',
});

// Add it to the DOM
document.body.appendChild(pond.element);

Or get it from a CDN:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>FilePond from CDN</title>

        <!-- Filepond stylesheet -->
        <link href="https://unpkg.com/filepond/dist/filepond.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    </head>
    <body>
        <!-- We'll transform this input into a pond -->
        <input type="file" class="filepond" />

        <!-- Load FilePond library -->
        <script src="https://unpkg.com/filepond/dist/filepond.js"></script>

        <!-- Turn all file input elements into ponds -->
        <script>
            FilePond.parse(document.body);
        </script>
    </body>
