## Quick Start

Install using npm:

```bash
npm install filepond
```

Then import in your project:

```js
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:

```html
<!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>
</html>
```

## Internationalization

The [locale folder](./locale/) contains different language files, PR's are welcome, you can use locale files like this:

```js
import pt_BR from 'filepond/locale/pt-br.js';

FilePond.setOptions(pt_BR);
```

## Contributing

At the moment test coverage is not great, it's around 65%. To accept pull requests the tests need to be better, any help to improve them is very much appreciated.

Tests are based on Jest and can be run with `npm run test`

To build the library run `npm run build`

### Browser Compatibility

FilePond is compatible with a wide range of desktop and mobile browsers, the oldest explicitly supported browser is IE11, for best cross browser support add [FilePond Polyfill](https://github.com/pqina/filepond-polyfill) and [Babel polyfill](https://babeljs.io/docs/en/babel-polyfill) to your project.

FilePond uses [BrowserStack](https://www.browserstack.com/) for compatibility testing.
