Question

I’ve been checking out Meteor as a potential framework for a web application and one thing I need to be able to do is allow my clients to upload files through the app. I started checking out Filepicker.io as an avenue to incorporate this functionality but I’m having trouble getting the drag/drop field to render. It works fine on a test Rails app but on my demo Meteor app, it just looks like a blank input box.

Answer 1

I imported the library to my /client folder by wget http://api.filepicker.io/v1/filepicker.js

then I could just

meteor.startup ->
  filepicker.setKey 'lalala'

and then create the widget by

Template.fileUpload.rendered = ->  
  filepicker.constructWidget document.getElementById('uploadWidget')
